"And I have never understood why homosexuality was "picked out" of the list of sins in 1 Corinthians and emphasized so much. Maybe it is just me, but I do not hear many Christian outrages over drunkenness or adultery."
I do.
I think it's "picked out" because of the ongoing culture war. It wouldn't be "picked out" if so many hadnt called for changing the definition of marriage.
If adultery were all of a sudden a cause that was being elevated as good and holy and just as legitimate as Christian marriage, you'd start hearing a lot of Christians making an argument of why adultery is damaging to people and society.
Interestingly, perhaps the homosexuals should have an honest discussion about adultery. For many couples, adultery isn't a sin either...
