We are truly a sick nation, in need of Jesus Christ.

I know. Can you believe that after 2000 years people are still not doing what Jesus said to do?
"Love your neighbor" and "Do unto others as you would have unto you"

I become more appalled everyday at how much attention is being diverted to gay rights and marriage (amongst other social issues). I believe that the government should stay out of all marriage. Common Law existed for how long? I mean come on.The government got itself involved in the institution of marriage for one reason: money. And while everyone is concerning themselves with social issues, the issues that we should be outraged about are being completely ignored. I am a Christian and I also am a Libertarian. I could care less if two men or women enter into a contract to be monogamous and start a household together. I also could care less if a gay couple adopted a child, after all, there are so many that need a loving home and as long as it was a nurturing environment and they are provided for who cares?

And for all of you that use the Bible as a reference to defend what ever position you are taking on social issues: it does not credit you to pick and choose whatever you like and fits your agenda. True, the Bible never states that gay marriage is wrong, but it does define what a marriage is according to God. (notice I said God and not our government)

No one denies you a right to marriage.

Yup we do! Hopefully he'll get rid of all the Christian Extremists who don't follow him and show hate, not love towards oppressed minorities.

Why are you appalled? Were you appalled when this much attention was given to blacks or women demanding equal rights?

A judgment followed by a call to Christ. Hopefully you will find the teachings of Christ one day.
