=What i'm trying to keep from happening is you offending anyone on this forum who may be homosexual or have family that is. That would be insulting and disrespecting another member, and discriminating against them.

You are an offence to all those who do not care about peoples opion but only care about the truth. So, it has always been. We will always offend someone, but I for one do not give a rats ass who it is. My concern is not offending the truth. Perhaps you do not understand those who, in practicing the Judeo-Christiian Religion know the command not to regard any man but righteous judgment.
I do have homosexuals in my family, but saying an abomination is not bad, does not help them or hurt them at all. They can only be helped when no one is afraid to speak and examine what is true and they come to understand it. Your self righteous censure of what is true, of open discussion, is offensive to even the foundation of man himself.
Let me demonstrate by fable, and if you study the ancient Greeks, it was a legitmate method in discussion.
Once upon a time there was a man, who, upon attempting to breathe felt a great deal of pain in his lungs. Along came two Doctors, both claiming the ability to heal the man. So the ailing man questioned them both. The first doctor said he could cure the pain quite quickly with liittle discomfort. The second said that to heal him from his pain would be a long and painful process. Well, the aiiling man decided the the first doctor was good, and the second a bad doctor and decided to take treatement from the first, whereupon the doctor simply smothered him.
The removal of what we need to live is not the method to attain to life.
When one states that their concern is not the truth but deference to special groups of individuals, should be man enought to excuse themselves from the duty of moderation.
