Why are some of those who believe homosexuality is a sin so afraid of it?
Homosexuality in itself isn't a sin according to - as far as I am aware - any religion, so if we just think about homosexuality in general as a topic or homosexuals as a topic, why does it terrify some people so much?
It isn't the biggest sin, the most harmful sin, the most likely sin... It's one among others.
Where does the extreme fear come from and how could it be reduced among people who belive homosexuality is a sin, if we exclude the idea that the sin could be removed from the list or the people could become less religious on that issue.
It is possible to consider it a sin and even condemn it without feeling extreme fear, discomfort, frustration or anger when the topic is approached.
In the Bible, usually idol worship or promiscuity is the issue. People don't often realize that whatever non Hebrews did in the OT, it was a sin or abomination. They were to stay separate from the other religions' folks or Yahweh would not bless them.
