Why you . . .?

Feel the "love".

Can’t feel what isn’t there

So, it's not a sin, even though you don't have any proof, then you judge a whole group without any proof? Arrogance? Cruelty? I'm thinking this isn't a whole group, but rather a select few..

Prejudice – You claim it's not a sin, even though you don't have any proof, then you judge a whole group without any proof?

So when you do it is it Arrogance? Cruelty?

Well you do subscribe to something. God calls it the 'philosophies of men'.
The Word of God tells us that in these last days some will not endure sound doctrine
and after their own lusts, will raise for themselves teachers that will preach to their
itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall incline
themselves to fables, because the fables are what they want to hear. (See 2 Timothy 4:3-4)

I don't subscribe to 'an interpretation'. God gave me a brain with which to reason and that's what I attempt to do. Most of the time, that is . . .

Any philosophy that twists the teachings of Jesus into something that justifies petty personal prejudices and unwholesome lusts is certainly something to stay well away from. That is why I stay far away from what you preach

If you want 'love' regarding this issue please go to the thread: Is THIS what Christianity SHOULD be about ...?

I do ask that you free yourself up for about 80 minutes or so but the message is well worth it.

An interesting rant, OP ...

Short answer: It's in the New Testament. Paul writes to a church divided by sinful members ... e.g., one man is sleeping with his father's wife. Paul's response is direct: The man knows what he's doing is wrong, and if he does not change his ways, he must be ostracized from the church. I also have the impression that there is a certain dislike here, but it may not necessarily be extant.

Secondly, also in the New Testament, someone (Paul? Jesus? been a while since I've read it) teaches about correcting your brothers when they are sinning ... sadly, many focus on this lesson to point of neglecting Jesus' parable of the blind leading the blind ... So they think homosexual actions are sinful. (Essentially, the lesson is, talk to them about it, and with witnesses.)

I'm not being very coherent at all, and my post here isn't very useful without citations, and it's probably already been said ... (I post because I've seen repeatedly that some common-sense replies aren't always posted as quickly as they should be.)

Another poignant fact is that people like to feel important. If you can bring others' faults to their attention in this context, it makes you feel valuable to God, useful to each other. "Here I am, doing something! Helping this person, or trying to, anyway." It's certainly one reason I come to web forums; I wish to share any insight I may have with others asking questions ... although I usually don't have anything useful to say. And, of course, the other aspect is to feel better than others, although this is something we try not to think about and to avoid ... (as pride is sinful.) I think pride is pretty uncommon, though... I don't think there are many here malicious enough to enjoy thinking of others suffering for all eternity, and it is certainly not Christian to do so.

I guess I should learn to stop posting after 11pm; when I'm tired my articulation sucks, and I tend to ramble. Hope this post wasn't a waste of our time.

Define Prejudice. You're applying a general word to specific situations, and falsely assuming one condones it.

Are you saying we're as nothing? Ugh..
