Sure. Let women do that in a Muslim country and see what happens. :-)
Overcoming the social inertia of an entire culture took time (yes, a lot
more time than it should have, just as in slavery), but it was Christian
influence that brought it about.

Not if you reject the Bible. Who defines sin anyway, other than
the One who created humanity in the first place? If humans can
define morality, what about those who would kill you and take
whay you own? Who is to say they aren't just as moral as you?
After all, according to you, we're all simply animals who will
cease to exist at death. Why not have fun, kill everyone in your
way, and take everything you can get? What is your basis for
any "moral" standard other than, if it feels good, do it?

Why do you continue to distort what I say? Are you unable to understand
plain English, or are you so berift of valid points that you must resort to
distortion and creation of a strawman to attack? Where did I condemn
homosexuals, or anyone else? The Bible declares homosexuality to be a
sin, along with many other sins. I did not single homosexuals out, I was
specifically asked about homosexuals. *All* of humanity has sinned, with
the one exception of Jesus Christ.

I don't know about the "clear conscience" part, but yes, they can.
Some do. Christians aren't perfect, they're forgiven. Why can't you
get your head around that? is it too difficult a concept for you to
understand? :-)
