One of the most honest men I know. However, he does need Jesus. The issue as I see it is that families have lost their foundation.... Jesus. For most Americans, the Christian faith is something practiced at church. Things are so crazy and time is so limited many families opt out of going to church regularly. So... what little "Christianity" they'd get in church isn't there. We need to bring faith and practice back into the homes.
Who put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Adam and Eve's back yard and gave them a choice?
We all make choices in life. This is a free country. I can buy adult entertainment, drink until sun up on the weekends, watch violent movies, read the Satanic bible, join a space alien worshipping cult, live with a woman, live with a man, live by myself, get married, stay single, be Christian, be Buddhist, be Muslim, be Hindu, be an atheist, or whatever else I choose to be or feel led to be. This is freedom. It's ugly sometimes. It's messy. It requires maturity and tolerance. It calls for patience. It calls for introspection. And when I was in the military I thought about all the crazy sinful things in our society that men and women are free to do... and I realized... freedom is holy... even when people choose to do the wrong things. And I realized that freedom is something worth dying for.
We really have a noisey bunch of liberal winers and a noisey bunch of angry conservatives whipping us all up into a frenzy to get our votes. That's all it's about. None of this is real serious persecution.
I vote that government needs to get out of the marriage business altogether and allow churches, families, and private institutions to define marriage for themselves.

Here we go again!! Where have I been? Another assumption, another guess, another false attempt to deflect the truth.
Aquila, where did I say that the Family WASN'T in shambles? And, what has that got to do with 2 men jumping into bed for anal intercourse??
I don't care how loving a Gay couple might be, the lifestyle is an abomination:
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
And, your only response to my point about the Bible leaning to a more Socialistic Society is, "Who put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Adam and Eve's back yard and gave them a choice?"
You see, your argument is weak and you know it is.
