An orientation that according to the church make them and their activities abnormal, morally wrong and generally less worthy.

There is a HUGE amount of misunderstanding about Christianity. Even among Christians, sadly. This is the purpose of starting this thread. Gays are "disordered." But then, heteros are also "disordered."
If you really want to hate Christ and Christianity, then go ahead and interpret everything in a way that permits you to hold your hatred. But the truth is that Christianity does not point a finger at gays while pretending its followers are pure. Christianity points its finger at everyone who ever lived, except one.
Todd, I have enormous respect for you. But I guess you're not perfect after all. (that would make you a legitimate candidate for Christianity, BTW) Or maybe I just misunderstood. Perhaps we agree. One of the beliefs I personally find the absolutely most detestable......is the so-called "Christian" who thinks they are holy, and entitled to look with disdain at the sins of others. Just as selfishness is at the heart of all sin, humility is at the heart of Christianity. The humble, repentant homosexual would be warmly received by God. The arrogant, prideful "Christian" will NOT.
