I would kill somebody who was trying to do mortal harm to my family. I have a moral duty - which we have discussed at length before - to protect them from harm.
Whether the attacker was a homosexual would be beside the point.
And yet you can find some historical moral justification for killing homosexuals just for being homosexuals.
I don't have a r ...[text shortened]... an if they believe their god figure wants them to. In what way is this point I am making "moot"?
Your wording must reflect these assumptions of yoi are going to apply logic to it.

If it were a forum intended only for Christians, or for Muslims, or for particular religionists of any stripe, I would not be active here.

If God is the source of all truth and the Bible is His revelation it would appear circular to the one who believes in no truth.
Here's one for you: Is relying on the laws of logic because you believe they laws of logic are reliable, not circular logic?

Why would you be here if you have no regard for any or all beliefs?
It's akin to an atheist-turned-believer who, instead of fortifying their newfound belief by immersion into its tenets and subsequent adjustments to their philosophical perspectives, they spend their time in their old haunts: hanging around their former colleagues, trolling and taunting them for their, as they urge, lack of belief.
Why?
Homesick?
No penalties: come on back.

Originally posted by @fmfYour point is moot because I will never kill a homosexual for being a homosexual. Guess why? Because I didn’t stop reading the Bible at Leviticus like you probably did. Do yourself a favor and study the rest of the Bible as well.
