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.

Homosexuality isn't a sin in the Bible. All sex is sinful unless between husband and wife, there's no difference between heterosexual or homosexual sex outside of marriage, it's all sinful according to the Bible. Being homosexual is not sinful, the Bible only says you can't have sex, it doesn't say being gay is sinful. The only difference is that marriage is a heterosexual institution because it is meant for procreation, and until science figures out otherwise a homosexual marriage cannot produce children, a 3rd party is required as well as 3rd party genetics. The Christians have merely incorrectly and over conservatively interpretted a few passages from the Old Testament.
