What I am trying to say is that they have their ways to 'justify' themselves, just as anybody with an independent viewpoint can justify themselves. The actual 'means' may not make sense, but it does to them and anyone who believes them.
Just look... stories and so-called 'meaning' can be woven around just about anything to make it plausible. A religious advocate is something I am not; I just acknowledge that Jim-Bob and Mary-Jane (two figurative people) are going to find self justification in whatever they do whether I agree/disagree or can even make sense of their reasoning.
Is being homosexual 'justified'? Of course, we can find ways to justify ourselves but somebody against it can as well justify their viewpoint. This is the angle I approach 'religion is right in its own light.' (which by the way you took out of context in quoting me.) Some religious leaders simply justify the immorality of it because of their own interpretive viewpoint.
