[The Urban Sombrero]

Just because you're irretrievable doesn't mean others share your opinion, in fact even the few who normally back you on here likely don't agree with you. I've hit a few drives into the high rough in my day, and I'll give a reasonable effort to retrieve a good Top Flight. But you're one lost ball I gave up on long ago. Like I said, you do serve a purpose though, and I am happy to give proper perspective and set you straight for the sake of others.

> Really? The only qualifying criterion for gay marriage is abnormal behavior. As I said and you have in times past agreed, this nation's system of law was based on Christian principles. Therefore, as the Bible clearly spells out what constitutes unacceptable behavior, (such as murder and thievery) we have written laws declaring such behavior illegal and have established punishments applicable to such offense.

Now as it happens the object of your impassioned activism, homosexuality, is one of those areas in which Scripture is clear:
Romans 1:27 (KJV)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

The only way guile filled lawyers could ever argue against the Godly principles which have been written both in the law's in this land and across the very soul of man and thereby brought to bear by his own conscience, was to separate Church and State. We began that process in 1947 and it takes willfully blinded and lost men to deny how much by way of integrity America has lost. Not that you won't try, but there is just no way to deny the clarity or finality of Romans 1:27. Men know in their heart what things are wrong, and despite your having ferreted out the new word of the day, you fool no one but yourself.

If your suggestion is that Romans 1:27 is the basis for law, what of other verses clearly spelling out other sins? You continually ignore that aspect, prance around arms thrust upward like some clown. You believe that equal protection under the law does not extend to same sex marriage. Your basis is Christian belief. However, under your belief, adulterers may marry, murderers may marry, etc. Thus, you create, out of your Christian belief, a special class of people who are not entitled to marry, denied equal protection under the law, and, thereby, deny a right granted all other citizens based on religious conviction. My trouble is finding your ball amidst all the straw. Funny, you keep wanting to posit a show of hands as some test for efficacy of position. If every single member of BGR says same sex marriage is not entitled to equal protection under the law, that proves or settles nothing.
