Religous folks always seem to pick on the homosexuals for their sexual sins. Why doesn't the adulters and all the fornicators bother you so much? How many Christians are fornicating (having sex without marriage)? BTW, Jesus really slammed the Pharisees when He told them that if they even lust after another woman in their hearts they are commiting adultery. Jesus had a way of putting the condemnation crowd in their places.

I don't sin. I earn karma. But yeah what he said! Go pick on someone else for a while! Wait, strike that...PICK ON NO ONE! There. That's better : )
In general, for no one in particular: How's your backyard looking? All pristine and shiny? Yes? Good for you : ) That makes you better than the rest, keep up the good work! ;D

I consider myself a Christian and, as such, it's not my place to pass judgments on anybody. I always say that when I get to Heaven, I will have alot of explaining to do. Perfect God can deal with my sins. Imperfect people need to weed their own gardens.
The people who are passing judgment, condemning, reprimanding, and otherwise telling people how they should be and what they need to do are not people I would consider Christian. They are busybodies, snobs, and not doing anything to promote what I consider to be Christianity.
I have read some of Paul's letters (New Testament) as well as the Gospels. I'm no expert, but it seemed pretty clear that sex outside of marriage was discouraged. I didn't take this to be exclusive to homosexuals or heterosexuals. I took it to be all-inclusive.
Just a little FYI: I would suspect that, in the gay community, you will find adulterers and fornicators. Infidelity has no boundaries.
Also, "Religious folk" are not all "Christians". If you meant to address your concern about "Christian" behavior, be upfront about it. If you meant Muslims, Catholics, Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Latter Day Saints, Jews, Taoists, etc. etc. etc. then "religious folk" works.

Hi Colleen: To me, gay couples living together are no different than hetero couples living together, except the gay couples may want to be married legally but aren't allowed to in their residence state. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when people who want to make a commitment aren't allowed to, and people who can make a commitment choose not to. At my Christian church, what would a committed couple (gay or straight)living together and not married be called? Probably by their first names (we're pretty informal).
I won't get into the 'Homosexual' content of this but i do have something to say about 'sex before marriage' in your question. Or 'living together in sin' I have nothing against this practice, if a couple loves each other why can't they live together? who says they must be married? How come you are allowed to try out a pair of shoes that will last maybe a couple years but marriage last a lifetime and you aren't allowed to try that out?? I think there would be less divorces if people were made to live together 2 years before allowing marriage.. We are allowed to 'try out' just about anything and return it if it doesn't workout, why not marriage??

So to answer you question from a Christian pov as to why not? Because Jesus said not to.
God Bless!
maybe he did and that was his thing. After all, wasn't abnormal for a Jewish man not to be married by that age?
