We are a nation of laws. God has ordained man the power to uphold these laws, it is stated in His Word.

Man controls these laws, a democracy will meet half way to determine these laws to be fair to all citizens.(supposedly).

For the redeemed in Christ, man's law has no second thought, we are commanded by Christ to obey it until those laws interfere with God's righteous Law laid out for His chosen.

We do not like the gay laws, they are wrong in the sight of God. But we respect the law of man that gives them the right to do so. These gay laws do not interfere with the Christians relationship with Christ, so we accept their rights to these laws but we in no way condone it.
When do you see fit? Do you go to your local women’s health center to admonish the men of faith screaming and spitting on women entering the building? They believe spitting on women will bring them to God?

There are no gay laws. There are equal rights under the law for gay people. The same rights you enjoy. The only people who do not seem to understand this is men who claim to be men of faith.

Doesn't stop some from trying.

No one is saying otherwise.

These fundie men have "faith" but they lack empathy, education, tolerance and intelligence.

No, you should have posted a link. Not my job to read your mind.

so a problem comes when laws reflect religious beliefs but infringe on people's liberty. i dont really know which laws exactly do this but i know they exist and they are bad.

any laws restricting consumption of any drugs or alcohol are infringement.
