No, "Sins" are acts which are not pleasing to the Creator.  I thought
I made this clear before.  It has nothing to do with "tradition",
"lifestyle", or whether anyone agrees with it or not.  If you had
been reading your Bible every day you would know this.  As for beating
up persons who engage in sinful *acts*, I have no such inclination.
You see, being a Kingdom kind of guy, I know that every vile and
filthy thing will be cast into the Lake of Fire in due course.  I don't
have to exert any effort at all!!

Until that wonderful day, however, conscientious citizens should
do all they can to prevent filthy people from gaining power in government,
forcing employers to hire them, or bringing economic sanctions via legislation
against those who would discriminate against them in business.
