I may be getting this one, but does that mean if you kill someone out of self-defense you have committed a sin and will go to Hell. Or if a family member killed someone who they knew was going to kill a young child, you would turn your back on them and feel they were going to take a bath in Hells boiling water.

You still don't understand the concept love the sinner hate the sin. A person who kills in self defense is not sent to hell for protecting his or her own life. They commited murder, sure, but they do not continue to commit murder and did not enjoy it. They repent and therefore are saved.
Christians should never turn their back on a fellow human being. Sometimes it is hard to accept what others do, but we need to give everyone a chance. In fact, the more "evil" a person is, the more you should try to help them. It is hard but it is what should be done. Some people just won't let you help them and that is the only case when you it is okay to stop trying to help them.
Another way of putting it. There is right and there is wrong. There is good and there is bad. When I am not sure about something, that doesn't change the fact that there is still black and white. Not understanding something, and it not existing are two different things. So when I do come upon a "grey" area, I try to learn more and trust that God took this into consideration before hand and deals with the situation justly.

Shouldn't we be teaching children to accept people and their differences, to embrace other people and their views instead of turning all nasty on them just because of what they do behind closed doors.

We should teach them to understand, not accept. Whether or not they chose to accept is their own choice once they understand. Never should they "turn all nasty on them".

Going by your logic, why does anyone need to get married or have sex?
|
By my logic you need sex to procreate and continue the survival of the species. I think my logic is good logic. And like I said before, I believe marriage is required before a couple ingages in mating.
I really have nothing more to say and I think we both know this debate has reached a dead end. I respect you for standing up for what you believe in, even if you are wrong, and I hope you feel the same way about me.
Oh, and thanks for the support Grig. I don't know you that well but it's nice to know I'm not alone.
