kinda like those creationists who say you can't be christian and believe in evolution

But see, there is a large amount of Christian churches that accept evolution.

Now how many mosques accept gay people?

yes, religion and many people that follow it don't always use logic and will do or say things to justify their own personal beliefs....that's just the truth.

think of it this way, you were born and raised in a religion that made you fear god, Christian, Muslim, whatever. Your family is extremely religious..Your religion says don't be gay....but unfortunately (to them) you are gay. not your fault...But now after realizing that you're struggling with staying true to your religion and yourself, while also trying to appease god (who you were told to listen to or face consequences).....You can't see how someone in that position would play mental gymnastics to still consider themselves as a religious person for God or their family while also trying to act on their own natural urges?

You can believe in good all you want, but when your religion wants to kill you it is safe to say you are not part of it any more.

The level of violence is irrelevant to this discussion...I know what you're trying to do....Many Christians say THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T BE GAY...if someone is born and raised Christian and still believes in it,their family would disown them for leaving it, but that person is gay, they may also work mental gymnastics so they can still consider themselves Christian for fear of God or losing their family...You'd say he's not a Christian anymore?

the same applies here...yes "omg so violent they'll be killed!"....yes the level of consequence is much more extreme....But we're trying to explain to you why people would still CONSIDER themselves a member of that religion....

its not that easy for some people to just eliminate a huge part of their life when new information about themselves come to light...And even then, why attack them for it? If they want to help usher in a modern version of Muslim's who don't believe Gays should be killed then so what? Its no different than every other religion out there..
