Frpggie- he asked if they are evil, and you said, “in answer to your question, yes he is a sinner”. The answer is no, HE is not evil. But his lifestyle is wrong and there is no flexibility on that.
This is a huge problem with online chats, and this happens too often. Outsiderlookingin, you are badly blurring the lines between what people are saying is wrong and what that means about people themselves. And in all fairness it isn’t being preaented very well. I cannot tell if it is deliberate on your part or if you are sincere. The questions are being asked in a way that requires a harsh response to the presentation that there is a moral compass outside of Torah, but your underlying quest for understanding the effects of not knowing the effects of this needs to be answered differently.
There is an obligation to respond harshly to the blurring of these lines of morality, but there is also an obligation to hear and respond to the questions of those who don’t know in a manner that encourages growth.
You may need a real life person for that, there are answers and in a face to face setting you may gain understanding.
