RE: Mormon Couple Claim They’re ‘Not Homophobic’ Despite Believing Gay Sex Is a Sin 🏳️_🌈
No question you are correct when you say that the word Sin holds baggage.
I view it as things people do that can harm their enjoyment of life. When I moved away from a Catholic upbringing I used to like to say, we are punished BY our sins, not for our Sins. Meaning the punishment comes from inside (results, feelings), not outside. (God)
Having too many sexual partners "could" result in drama and hurt feelings, depending on the circumstances. Alcohol and Drugs could result in not being able to focus on important things and can hurt your health, make you feel sick, drunk, mind altered etc.
Lying and Stealing hurt others...
The title of your post implies that a Mormon can not think that homosexuality is a sin without being homophobic, I'm saying I know and love many Christians including Mormons and it is a huge assumption. I've told you why twice.
Personally, I try not to judge others religious or not based on beliefs and different values. That doesn't mean I choose to emulate the behavior of those people.
Don't hurt other people or yourself... Wise words, not mine.
When a person uses the word "Sin" it implies something that goes against "Divine Law" but I think you are talking more about people making mistakes that break natural laws.
I understand though that you might have a different view now compared to when you first left Catholicism.
I realize my mistake now and I probably would have noticed it sooner if we were talking in person. Sometimes when I read text I read what I think I am reading instead of what is actually written.
Thank you for correcting us.. I cannot speak for the rest of @atheistrepublic or the speakers in the video but I agree with you.
