    I hope you are right; however, our number may be up this time on the world stage.

    Personally, I have no intention of abandoning Christian principles.

    Gay rights?

    Gay people already have every right that I do. But now they want us to create "special" rights by bending our morals to accomodate thier perverted lifestyle.

    Its ridiculous that this country even debates gay marriage, it should be an open and shut case.

    That is true Ken, and for that reason I am glad we have taken no action so far. However, we must have a plan and be ready if he does find a way to carry it out.

    I continually see this statement "I am not voting for a Pastor". While you are free to have the view you wish and make the posts you wish it is a curious statement. It seems to be made to protect themselves from having to hold the office of the President to certain moral issues.

    But then they are willing to hold the current President to other ccertain moral issues i.e. war, treatment of the poor, healthcare, etc. It is as if it is justifyable to hold to a few hand picked issues (all issues are of a moral nature) and be released from others.

    Issues such as the murder of unborn children is not a denominational nor is it a church issue. Niether is homosexulaity, aiding the poor, or name your flavor. All law is based on morality and all issues are moral ones.

    It is an odd thing to attempt to separate a political view from a Christian view as if one can just set aside their Christianity to conduct political business.

    This sounds like more of that right-wing "dribble."

    I agree. Gay people should be afforded the same rights as other Americans. This is one reason I favor same-sex unions for gays if they so choose.

    You just twisted what I said and you know it.

    Christians supporting Homosexuality?

    Are you really a born-again Christian?

    If you are, then your life and your morals should reflect that you are and not contradict the Bible.

    This is contradictory. "Other Americans" do not have the right to same sex unions. So giving this "right" to homosexuals will not give them equal rights. Right now, gays have the same rights as everyone else, including the right to marry. A homosexual can marry just like any other American can.

    Paul Craig Roberts. :rolleyes:

    One of the leading Bush haters in the media.

    His conclusions are always determined by whatever makes Bush look the worst.

    Fortunately for all of us, his days of fear mongering on behalf of his hatred of Bush are just about over.

    Yes.

    And I am not always right in my everyday life, but at least I admit when I do go against God.

    If you support abortion and homosexuality, then you are going against God.

    I have a gay sister-in-law. She has made the choice to live a life that goes against God's principles...but at least she is not a liar. She admits that she is sinning and that she will have answer to God, but she says this is what she wants to do.

    If you want to support homosexuality, at least dont try to convince us it is a "Godly" institution, because it is not, and if you have read your Bible, then you know it is not.

    Why did you turn the question around on me? And ask if I was a Christian? I am, and have been for many years. I struggle every day to act like a Christian, but I dont promote things that I know God says is an "abomination". You are the one who professes to endorse ungodly lifestyles on here.

    So...being that homesexuality is a sin means nothing in your eyes as far as your support?

    A brother?

    I am sorry, I assumed from the tone of "his" post that he was a she.

    You do jump to conclusions, don't you. I never said I "supported" homosexuality. I said I support a persons right to live at they please. Just because I don't agree with someones choice doesn't give me the right to make their decision for them.
