Its not a stereotype to state a complete and total fact regarding the common teachings of a particular religion. You might as well have said that I'd be stereotyping Christians by claiming that most Christians believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth. Do you realize how monumentally dumb that argument is or are you really just that clueless?

To put that into context, I could easily and rightfully say:

"It should be no newsflash that a Christian minister believes that Jesus was born of a virgin birth. Most Christian ministers believe that."

Anyhow...

IT IS A FACT - Most Christian churches teach that homosexuality is a sin.
This is undebateable. You are entirely unable to refute that. Because its true.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise when a Christian minister has taught something that is WELL KNOWN to be a doctrine or belief of his or her said church for CENTURIES.

There is no conflict there. None whatsoever. And I'm sure you wish that I would drop it because I'm sure you don't want to continue to try and defend what you know is indefensible response on your part.
