There is no one truth. But that is your belief, not mine: You believe the ONE truth of the statement that "there is no one truth". So you see, you're no different than me, in that you see your beliefs as right and "true".

When you quote Bible verses to me, they have very little meaning.

Well then would you do me a favor and stop trying to tell us what the Bible says, and how it should be interpreted, and how Jesus would have acted, if you're not sincerely interested in even knowing how Jesus would have acted?

Don't put words in Jesus's mouth, or deeds to his credit, if you aren't really interested in what the Bible has to say about him. Jesus is a central Biblical figure, so if you want to try to say how Jesus would have acted, it seems to me that you might want to check the Bible, since that is the holy book by which Christians use to form their beliefs of what Jesus did or didn't do.

Now you're trying to tell me that if some modern "Christians" have come to accept some moral behavior as okay in their eyes, that I also should modify my own personal moral code to fall in line with what I view to be the least common denominator. No thanks. How about you changing your view to match mine? I'm not budging in my religious beliefs, so if we are to come to an agreement, you will need to modify your beliefs to match mine, if that is so ultra-important to you. I can tell you though, we don't only disagree on the issue of homosexual behavior.
