If that were the case, of course not. But the 1 man should get his glasses checked because he's calling a tiger a mouse and refusing to listen to the 99.

As I said in some other thread, moral certainty/conviction is a virtue, but only if you're right.

Again, the Church does not say that homosexuals are sinning. It's the practicing homosexual that is sinning. Correct me if I'm wrong Scott1, but I believe that to be the case.

Don't expect the catholic church to fold because they are outnumbered.

I don't expect them to fold because they're outnumbered. I expect them to wise up, because they are wrong and causing a lot of harm. I expect them to listen to reason, if that's not asking too much.

Your analogy falls flat. That one man should call it a tiger, if he wants to be understood by everyone else. There it doesn't matter what he calls it, as long as he calls it something that others will understand. This is a matter of hurting people because of an antiquated and ignorant opinion, even though the action that is denounced hurts no one except possibly the doers of the action.

What's the difference?

What if it really is a tiger? Why would you call lesbianism a sin when God doesn't?

You're wrong. Whatever the Church may say, the Bible does not say that lesbianism is a sin. Why is the Church and you so unconcerned with the facts?
