No it doesn't. lol

I don't agree with women wearing pants... how does it strip me of justice if we allow women to wear pants?

I don't mind having a glass of wine with dinner... most of my Pentecostal buddies believe in total abstinence from alcohol... how does that strip them of justice?

I'm not a "victim" if my neighbor buys a Playboy magazine. lol

Why is it that so many of us are always a "victim" if we allow people to be free? Woe is me... I can't control others. I'm such a victim. Get real. LOL

Bro... the Gospel will flow best in a free society. Here's what I mean. Their marriages aren't going to last. After five years of allowing "gay marriages" you'll most likely discover that the majority of gay marriages were launched as soon as it became legal. Then you'll notice that they tapered off and that most ended in nasty "gay divorces." Society will view them as tenuous at best and all their "promises" of happiness will be revealed for the failure that it is. In the wake of that mess we can point to the Gospel and say, "Look, marriage didn't solve your problem. Equal rights didn't solve your problem. Your answer is Jesus Christ." Let sin run it's course and the truth will be even more obvious. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds. But right now our extremist politics discredits our message of love and peace with all men. They just think we're ring wing nuts that want to push our religion down everyone's throat via government.
