Former child star Kirk Cameron says that fornication and adultery are far bigger threats to the institution of marriage than gay marriage is.

In a May 2 interview, Cameron said that same-sex marriage debates distract Christians from more pressing issues.


"If the people sitting in the pews are fornicators and adulterers, the church will destroy marriages much more quickly than those outside the church," Cameron told AL.com.

"I think the greatest threat to marriage is not other people's definition of marriage," he said.

Well he is right and fully correct. He is also fully correct stating that gay marriage is a distraction. There are much more important issues the church need to deal with than the topic of gay marriage.

The saddest part is that so many Christians don't seem to give a hoot about incest or rape. These are the true crimes of sexuality.

Homosexuality shouldn't even be considered a crime.

May I add to your list the sexual and physical abuse of children which includes spanking?

I hope you meant "sin."

Because homosexuality is not considered a crime in any half-assedly civilized country.

If government sanctioned marriage has been perverted so far from what God intended, why would a government document be necessary for a marriage to be considered Godly and not just a relationship of fornication?

We are not married but I don't expect a Bible believing church to accept our membership. We attend regularly but that's all. I want to be married - we'll get there one day. We both have grown kids from other marriages.

If enough Christians were elected to public office it would surely become a crime.

Yes. They are obsessed with sex.

Meanwhile....kids are living in substandard housing and going to unsafe schools, our elderly have no one to sit and talk to, we have veterans and the mentally ill living under bridges, millions of American children are suffering from malnutrition....but the fundies are telling each other about gay sex and fornication.

They love the sex talks. They aren't going to lecture each other on taking care of the poor when they can tell each other they are going to hell if they fornicate.

It is about time a right-wing Christian recognizes the truth. Now let's all start living in reality!
