So because someone does one those things it makes another thing that is wrong right? I am trying to follow your logic. I guess you ar assumming Christians are perfect from the start To lie steal and cheat is also wrong. So because someone does one those things it makes another thing that is wrong right?

Isn't that the one that quoted Jesus as saying "do unto others...." It's also the one that says "Thou shall not commit adultery, lie, etc" and I see plenty of "Christians" doing whatever they please with no regard for the Ten Commandments. When there is as much uproar over adulterers, liars, etc as there is over homosexuals maybe we will begin to approach equity. (I'm not holding my breath).

However with more tolerance in up comming youth, it will in the end pass. Sure is a shame to. You also have to look at the bible where it is very clear what should happen.

It frustrates me that people are so unwilling to look past their own beliefs and realize that others may believe differently (and act differently without bringing on the apocalypse). In time, in time. For now, patience is required, it seems. I have no doubt that it eventually will be tolerated.

As the older generations die we will win, since the newer generations are pretty clearly much more tolerant and accepting of homosexuality. I would bet that gay marriage will be legal everywhere in 30 years. Most of the objections from gay marriage stem at their root from an objection from homosexuality itself.

Remember the old concept "with all deliberate speed?" All we have to de is become increasingly more deliberate to create the equality you clearly feel is being denied. Your passion is evident. Your clarity is precise. As a 30-year participant in a conventional marriage, it seems absurd to prolong this argument. All marriages in the USA require a legal document. Once the document is issued it is up to the partners to determine the means by which to sanctify that union. There is no requirement for any religious involvement whatsoever. So, I think all the objections are irrational. If we are a group of independent minded voters, we can not deny the legitimacy of marriage for any two persons of marriagable age. OK, relax.
