Johanna ... I have stated all I really wanted to say in my above post ... but this is the part that some people don't understand about "us Christians" .... there is never (at least not for me) a "religion aside" .... I'm sorry but to me, religion is my way of life, it is not something I can "use" one day and not the other.

I didn't mean it the way you took it. I didn't mean, "put your religion aside". I meant, putting aside the religious aspects of the discussion, isn't there a fundamental difference in being sexual preference/orientation and drug abuse? For example, religion aside (just my word choice) isn't there a difference in drug abuse and killing ten children? Sure, both are 'sins', but, I think there is a gradation there, also.
