I've talked to a person who says that in the eyes of God, sin is sin no matter what kind it is. As long as it's against His will, it's sin and that's all there is to it. Sadly, it also seems like the logical conclusion according to my knowledge of Christianity and the Bible. It does make sense if you look at it from a certain angle (a crime is a crime).

Disclaimer: I don't know what to believe in. Science still leaves enough room for God to exist, but there's also no scientific evidence supporting God. I'm happy enough with recognizing the situation and not making up my mind because it doesn't really matter right now. I'd rather give God the benefit of doubt than outright deny His existence.

I get the logic but I do scratch my head at the notion that homosexuality is a sin. It doesn't hurt anyone like murder or theft.

Sin is "to miss the mark", to go the wrong way.

There are lots of sins that do not hurt anyone but our relationship with God. Like lust, envy, anger, ungratitude towards God, rebbelion, unbelief, many many others. Being proud and arrogant also, does not hurt anyone but the ourselves, but it is for sure sin.

The criteria is not what hurts others, the criteria is what the Lord explained in His word, and the point is that we do lots of evil things, the more we get close to God, the more we realize it.

Specially pride, which is why homossexuality is dangerous sin, most sins do not make the sinner proud of it, but for some reason homossexuality does.

I do evil stuff all the time, althought I try my best to not do it. Sometimes I sucessed, most of times I fail. The thing is: I am not proud about it, I know it is wrong and I repent after I miss the mark.

I get on my knees, pray, ask for forgiviness to Jesus and for wisdom to do better. It is no different for homossexuals. Some sins we stop doing imediatelly after salvation, specially drugs, adultery, stealing. Some others stay with us the whole life, a thorn in our side, as the apostle Paul said. To keep us humble.
