Alright fine Anthson, however I'm challenging your beliefs by asking you to demonstrate how they are the same. I'm asking you to frame it outside the response of "they're all sins".
First, you don't get to define the terms on which someone argues their point. It's pretty weird to pick a fight and then stipulate the kinds of weapons a guy can bring or whether he's allowed to use his right arm. Imagine if I said you HAD to argue with me and that I would only accept an argument from you if you could frame it around scripture.

Also, I take it as a compliment you want to challenge my beliefs, but my beliefs weren't the point I was trying to make. I never tried to convince anyone else that what I belief is correct and that they should jump on board the same bus. There's where the self-victimization began. It's important to understand all I did was say "hey, I agree with that" and then make the case that you CAN agree with that and still NOT be like Phelps. That's all. I also added a bunch of other stuff about common decency and folks getting along without compromising their belief structure, but that was an accessory to the first point. I'm not sure why you want to argue something I'm not attempting to argue. This really isn't a discussion on scripture and I'm just not going to get into that subject here and now.
