Here's how it works: If you've had sex outside of marriage and you believe that was wrong and sinful and immoral, you displayed the same level of morality as anyone else (be they gay or straight) doing the same.

You are, according to the Bible you preach, a sinner. You have time to worry about the morality and sins of others? Really? Work on yourself. A good place to start would be to read John 8:7 and follow the instructions.

Heterosexuals have heterosexual 'temptations'. Homosexuals have homosexual 'temptations'. Heterosexuals fall in love with people of the opposite gender. Gay and lesbian people fall in love with people of the same gender.

So you must be in favor of same-sex marriage? Wouldn't want those gay and lesbian couples in loving committed relationships not to have the 'moral' protection of civil marriage right?

Ahh.. it seems your coming around.

So you would not be opposed to homosexuals to be married then. Cool!

Yeah, some believe in a god, some think that fairy tales belong in children's books. Personally, I think Thor really is just about making a lot of noise. Dionysus is a drunk. Yahweh is a malicious mass murder. Quetzalcoatl is not quite as blood thirsty. Etc. Etc.

A god? Figments of overactive imaginations. Some of them by wandering tribes of desert goat herders.

God can judge all he wants to in the afterlife. Until then, our secular government has no business denying gays the right to marry based either on what the Bible says or what Christians believe.

If Christians don't like gay marriage, they are free not to get married to someone of the same gender. They are free not to officiate at a same-sex wedding, and they are free to walk around grumbling about it.

But I draw the line when secular laws are passed to enforce a religious belief.

What do you mean the government has no business enacting laws, they are the government
