Which act would be considered more immoral

[mrveggieman]

Which would be considered a bigger sin by God, having an abortion or committing a homosexual act?

[shrewsbury]

if you make me pick I would have to go with neither or abortion. abortion is killing, homosexual sex is just sex (not what I would consider sex, but then again I am not homosexual)

This is the problem with religious teachings. It's easy to say abortion because, as Shrew pointed out, it is killing something and gay sex just isn't. It's also easy to say both are equal because sin is sin. It's also easy to say that if neither act is done out of malice or hatred, neither can be considered a sin.

At the end of the day, no one can give God's answers, we can only give human answers. The human answer is a pretty obvious "abortion" but that doesn't mean it is, or isn't, the real answer.

Man you make these tough

wickabee, great post!!!

There is no god, so there is no sin.

How is that difficult for you?

[shrewsbury]

how about, there is religion, so according to your religion are these acts immoral?

[centrehice]

No they are not immoral, nor are they against the law in the State and the Country in which I live. A non-issue

The whole point is moot.

[shrewsbury]

so your answer should be for everyone?

though I would not go as far as saying abortion is a sin or immoral, I still don't not like it and wish people had more or better choices.

I completely agree. Me being Catholic I've always questioned why the Church is against Gay marriage but turn around and tell everyone is in the image and likeness of God. Although I don't agree with it, I'm completely for gay marriage, either the Church needs to come out and say this is fine as long as sexual acts aren't acted upon or be an advocate to give them more rights in the Civil Unions. At this point and time Civil Unions don't consider the two family so if one gets severely hurt the other cant see their loved one and if by chance the person dies the other wont get any benefits for it.
