Yes, it is God's will. No, I am not proposing to start doing it. Yes, God's
will will be carried out at the Day of Judgement.

Yet you also stated earlier that homosexuals should seek spiritual help to 'cure' their condition. That seems somewhat in conflict with saying they should be put to death.

Besides, if you believe it is God's will that all homosexuals be put to death, *why* aren't you making any arrangements to help carry out God's will?

If your only reason is you're waiting for God to do it at the Day of Judgement, then on what basis do you decide what bits of God's will you should obey today, and what bits you should react to by saying 'Oh there's no point. God'll do it come the day of judgement anyway'?
