Thanks for your thoughtful post. But I think the above is verging on semantics. Huntsburger clearly believes in the bible. So when he observes that the bible considers homosexuality to be a sin and an offence against God and therefore immoral, he is saying that he believes that homosexuality is a sin and an offence against God and therefore immoral. When I observe that the bible considers homosexuality to be a sin, I am doing so in order to say that no, I don't believe in the bible, I don't believe that homosexuality is immoral. Indeed, I am making the observation in order to point out that I find the bible to be immoral in this respect. That is a big difference.
