But over eatting in no where near being gay.
That is a sad statement. If you look at reality and not what an old book says, over eating can be harmful to you and others. For example, over eatingcan lead to manyhealth problems for yourself. Many children of unhealthly parents also have a unhealthy diet which cause them to be unhealthy. I think it's fair to consider that a form of child abuse. How is being gay harmful to anyone? Sure you can bring up STDs but has more to do with irresponsibility than it does being gay.
One of my biggest hang-ups with the bible is it seems to force people to judge others. One thing I can agree with from the bible is let he who is without sin cast the first stone. But then again, I don't consider homosexuality a "sin".
The Bible doesn't force anyone to "judge others." Quite the contrary, the Bible says, "Do not judge others!!" People (not the Bible) choose to judge or not to judge!
I believe its one of the most misquoted piece of scripture out there. An overseeer, elder, or bishop as its called in the new testiment calls for them to oversee the flock of God as in 1 Peter 2:2-4
Its just one has to be careful that he is seeing clearly before he does approach a brother in Christ about a sinful behavior.
