Alabama...the land that evolution forgot. It doesn't matter who gets elected. Alabama is just going to send to the Senate someone who isn't remotely close to the missing link.

We all sin every day, Jesus died for all those sins. However that does not mean the Christian should embrace a sinful lifestyle or legitimize it. Doing that would lead people into the hands of the devil. Homosexuality is sinful, no amount of tolerance and political correctness will change that. Encouraging sin and godlessness only leads lost souls to an eternity burning in hell. Godly Christian leaders and laws that support Christian values encourage a proper life, this is why I support Christian conservative candidates for office. Our nation is morally circling the drain, we are running out of time to save ourselves from mass immorality.

Doesn't seem like you support Jesus's message of non judgement, and loving your neighbors and enemies.

Guess that's too liberal for you

By non judgement and loving your neighbors you mean accepting a sinful lifestyle prohibited in the Bible. Encouraging others to live in sin is like allowing children to play on the highway. Sin leads to eternal death, doing anything that encourages sin is the very opposite of "loving your neighbor"

Jesus accepted a prostitute and commanded others to not judge her.

Was he wrong?? Pray tell

He forgave her sins, anyone who repents of thier sins will be forgiven. What you liberals want however is not a forgiveness of sin but acceptance of the sin itself. You will find nowhere in the Bible where God accepts or promotes sin, even when sins have been forgiven.

I don't seek your forgiveness or acceptance.

Acceptance of a sinful way of life should never occur. Forgive the sinner but never accept the sin.

This is America. You have Freedom of Choice on how you live your life, and in which religion you belong to, if any. It's not really up to other "Americans" or Politicians to dictate how you should live your life, or what you should think or believe.


I also think other people need to mind their own business, and quit trying to shove their Religious Agenda's and Doctrines down everyone else's throat. You have every right to speak your mind and say what you feel, you however do not have a right to force your beliefs on other people, who may not concur.

This is America where we have Freedom of Religion, or Freedom from Religion, in some cases...we are not a Theocracy. If you want that, maybe you should move to Iran or Iraq.


I think the Government needs to mind it's own business and stay out of people's lives and bedrooms.
They have no place there. Ditto, the same with other people.Live your own lives and let other people live theirs and quit trying to control other people, based upon your own Religious Doctrines.
