If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

I never said being sexually attracted to someone means you are sick. Finding someone sexually attractive is not necessarily getting to the level of lust. You're a guy- is this really news to you?
Just as enjoying owning expensive things doesn't necessarily rise to the level of greed. Etc.

To be a disciple of Jesus is not to read his word, pray, and not sin.
To be a disciple, you have to go out and teach the word to others, and you must WANT to do good deeds, not be forced to. That's a common misconception, many people think the commandments are there to say what you CAN'T do. The commandments are there for beginner Christians, just a rough guild line of what our morals are, and what aren't seen as good deeds. Just to start out your idea, but it's supposed to expand into you caring and loving all of your brothers and sisters, including the ones that have yet to find Christ.
This thread makes me think of this beautiful, absolutely beautiful, song.

James 4:17
Mathew 6:1-4So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Colossians 3:17Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
^I can play that game too.
I would just recommend for some to just ignore others who want to dismiss your faith and be argumentative about it's existence. If they don't believe, so be it. It's obvious some aren't going to ever believe, and therefore likely posting against Christians just to get a rise.

Matthew 10:14
Proverbs 14:6And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Proverbs 1:24-29A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth .
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Suuuure. I'd be hard pressed to find one Christian claim that you don't take issue with.
Jim is right of course. You are always trying to denigrate Christian faith, and spread your atheistic views. Nothing new here.
The upside is, we still get the word out there, and your constant negativity gives us an opportunity to let our faith shine even brighter.
