Commentary: If so, there are good reasons for enhanced concern.
A reader raised a valid complaint about my recent column that pointed out the U.S. Embassy had suggested Christians who protested a gay cruise ship arriving in the Bahamas were denying homosexuals the right to go where they want in “peace.”
The reader didn’t dispute the facts, but did complain that Christians are disproportionately concerned with homosexuality, expressing less righteous indignation for other sins like pornography and adultery.
It’s true that Christians may be disproportionately bothered by homosexuality. But there are good reasons for that.
Homosexuality may be no more vile in God's eyes than pornography, adultery or any other sexual sin.
But as evil as those other sins are, their practitioners don't pose the overt threat to our society that the homosexual agenda does. No one insists on teaching 5-year-olds that adultery is just another lifestyle. No one demands that unrepentant adulterers be ordained. No one threatens legal actions against people who call adultery a sin.
I don't know any Christians who engage in those other sins who have the audacity to claim that what they do is not sinful. Homosexuals claim what they do is not sinful.
Neither do I know of any who engage in adultery and insist on normalizing the behavior for society, or recognizing it as a constitutional right. Homosexuals insist their behavior is normal, and that they have a constitutional right to engage in it.
