Regarding Christian ideals. Salvation isn't through being good enough or keeping yourself good enough. Salvation occurs when you turn from this world unto Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour. by faith. At that point in time you are adopted as a son and treated as a child of God. I don't live in fear of hell if I disapoint God through sin. I avoid sin because it ruins the relationship I have with God. When I sin I repent of that sin, confessing it to God directly and God forgives and restores that relationship.
I'm telling you this because there are segments of christianity which regardless of what they say, are working their way to heaven in various degrees of fear. Also, my pastor is not my priest. I don't confess my sins to him and I don't blindly follow him. We don't always agree and I'm just as free to express my opinion within the church as I am here.

I guess even for those who believe God, the definition of sin is different. To me, there is no way homosexuality is a sin.
