Terrible analogy.
I know I'm stupid to respond to this, but here goes.

They both constitute sin. If you don't believe that, you don't believe in modern prophets. And both sins can be recognizable and things we don't want our children or neighbors to emulate so we will most likely find it hard to deal with.

But both can also be used for teaching and that is good. And maybe, by being in Church, the offender (like each of us) will come to figure out how he can cope/change/whatever. And maybe we'll become more tolerant as well.

Sounds like a good thing and a reasonable analogy in my opinion...
