    This is the only logical conclusion I can draw from the events in my life. When you pray for something down on your knees, why would you get the opposite? Wasn't God supposed to be a parent? Why would he feed me scorpions when I ask for bread? As some of you know me & my wife have been...

    Proof homosexual sex is a sin

    I can prove homosexual sex is a sin. 1) Any extra marital sex is a sin. 2) marriage is only between a man and a woman 3) ergo there is no such thing as a gay marriage 4) So without marriage all homosexual sex becomes extramarital. 5) ergo homosexual sex is a sin. :kiss:
