...since I'm pretty sure there is not God and, therefore, no sin either.

Haven't ever heard even a passable refutation of it so far.

Christians who say that homosexuality is a sin - if they are quoting from Scripture - are not claiming to "speak on the behalf of God." They're quoting what is already said - they're not using their own words.


Alexandro is using a bit of a straw man argument if the people he is referring to did not claim to be speaking on behalf of God.

To make sure God really meant it when he told them not to eat pork, touch menstruating women and give living sacrifices. Maybe Christians could use this "new" testament to figure out what is required of them.

Oh.
Wait.
And the son of God never mentions homosexuals being "abominations". If He thought it was important I'm sure He would have left a clear statement about it.
