> I don't believe.

You believe that you don't believe.

> But religion is different: if you believe that homosexuality is wrong due to your religion, there is nothing i can argue about. Your priest told you this based on some book or story from 2000 years ago and you do not question this.

This isn't the Church doctrine. The Church doesn't target homosexuals or even homosexuality in particular but ALL sexual practices that deviates from the unitive and procreative aspects of human sexuality. Christians don't believe in this because a book written thousands of years ago say so but because deep in their souls it makes sense and is the truth for them. Homosexuals are welcome on the Church as any other sinner what is ridiculous is to expect the Church to condone sins and bless sinful relationships be them homosexual or heterosexual.

> I know plenty of strong christians and muslism in germany who do not like homosexual people. And its dividing our society.

Perhaps it is something else that divides.

No i do not believe. You don't change it just because you say that i believe in not believing.

There is also a clear definition for it:

"Believing is the mental act of accepting something as true, real, or correct, often without requiring absolute, physical proof."

I'm absolutly fine saying that I don't know something. I do not know a god exist, or multiply etc. But honestly that question comes down to me more like "Does randomess exist".

Yes its absoutly a religios thing that homosexuality is bad. You call it yourself 'sinful relationship'. Its not a sin just because church doesn't like it. Also plenty of religions are responsible for making it a sin outside of religion.

And yes if the church condonse all sexual practices, it does include homosexuality and makes it a church doctrine.
