Are Christians the biggest hypocrites?
I think they are because they call homosexuality a sin but murder is not? Like, there are these insane parents who murder all their children "in the name of 'god.'" So, why would this so-called 'god' be perfectly OK with people murdering their children in terrible ways but hate homosexuals?

It should be obvious to anyone that parents who murder their own children are out of their minds and not in any way on the level with God. Don't blame the acts of the rare maniacs on a whole religion. Humans are weak.

I don't think there is any rational justification for such a generalisation.
- "I think they are because they call homosexuality a sin but murder is not?"
I can assure you that murder is most definitely a sin in the Christian world-view.

Just because insane people do insane things in the name of God doesn't mean that those insane actions are typical of Christianity.

No, we are not hypocrites. The average Christian does not say that murder is a sin. Both murder, and gay marriage are viewed as sins by Christians.
Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder.
1 John 3:12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

What's wrong with YOUR brain, or is this just another lame troll from someone's level 1 troll account?
< insane parents> There you go, Skippy. "insane", as in, not in their right mind.
<who murder all their children> Murder is a grave sin. People commit murder in extreme fits of rage when they lose control of their emotions.
<"in the name of 'god.'"> I can think of about 3 stories that made national news in about the last 15 years where this was the motive. "insane", remember? Post partum psychosis is a real mental illness not confined to the religious.

No, they are not. Everything that they call sin, including murder, they call due to God calling it sin;it's not up to us; we just agree with what God says. and I'm sure that God does not want people to murder their children. Anyone that murders their child "in the name of god" must be following allah-he is the one that calls for that.

They'll all point to, "Thou shall not kill" unless you give some examples. Like perhaps parents not giving children necessary medical care and opting for faith healing or prayer instead.
