I believe they should have the same legal rights as everyone else. Remember, I am a counselor not an attorney. I can only guide people who want to change. In my profession, I could only introduce faith issues that the client approved. As a Christian I can point out what the Bible states. What you or anyone else does is your choice and between you and God. In social services, that is forbidden unless the client brings it up.

Not too bad for just typed words in cyberspace and no physical or body language cues. WBC completely misses and therefore perverts the Gospel. Namely, all sin can be forgiven. They do not forgive.

You are missing the point, as were the others above. More study is required on your part. The concept at the moment is spiritual warfare. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

That's OK. I am free of the good opinions of others.

In my tribe we discuss these differences all the time. Over 90% are Christian and several are ordained ministers. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to "protect" people from a group you mostly agree with? You don't seem to get my point and right now I don't know how to articulate it in a more satisfactory manner. We are dealing with the Satanic power of evil in our country. If a WBC member pickets a funeral I will step in front of him because I believe the WBC is wrong. If a gang banger attacks a WBC member while his picketing, I will defend the WBC member because the gang banger is wrong. The problem is not the WBC or the gang banger. It is the Satanic power of evil that is the enemy. That's about the best I can do at the moment. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

But apparently you fear homosexuality. And please, before you get all defensive about the word fear, you're outright stated that you fear where the US is headed, and you apparently blame homosexuality, among other things. If that's not a fear of homosexuality, I don't know what is. I'd like to get back to your statements about how the homosexuals are to blame for the Westboro protests. Your never explained the subtle difference between your beliefs and theirs. It is spiritual warfare.

Wait, wait, Let me get this straight: You're saying homosexuals are to blame that homophobes are picketing military funerals? Wow, just wow. I am going discontinue replying to you because you do not live in the U.S.A. You and your lifestyle is not part of our problem. No disrespect intended with my decision, it is just time to focus on my country. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

To you and DanG: In what direction to you think our moral compass is pointing? America is heading for much deeper problems. Our society is sick. Some people see the problem and some people do not.

I suggest you examine the subtle difference. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Not all of us do. But when it comes to same-sex marriage, the opponents seem to focus mainly on the sex aspect. A lot of people who are homosexual (the orientation is not a choice BTW) are fighting for the right to have the responsibility (and privileges) of marriage. You seem to have some skewed idea that their lives are easier by being with a same-sex partner. A relationship with anyone involves compromise and nurturing. Marriage is not all about sex. It's about making a commitment to another human being to live your lives together through the good and the bad. Our government has also made it a legal commitment with certain privileges and responsibilities. And if you want your Bible to dictate who can and cannot be together, feel free to live your life by that. But please don't use your Bible to dictate what others can and cannot do; it is nothing more than a man-made book to me, and I don't choose to live my life by it. If you want to, that is your choice, but you have no right to expect other people to live by your religion. I don't have a problem with what you state. I hope you can understand something. As a counselor most of my clients had substance abuse disorder. Simply put, that is an addiction to the dopamine excretion produced by mood altering chemicals. Sex produces that same dopamine excretion. We work tirelessly with our clients to help them understand that their use of drugs is going to cause a lifetime of problems. To keep using and expect a different outcome is insanity. Therefore, just stop using and learn a different lifestyle that produces pleasure. There are all sorts of people and groups to help you make the change. The homosexual lifestyle creates problems. Choices can be and are made all the time. One of the problems this lifestyle produces is the emergence of whacko groups like the Westboro Baptist Church. They picket and protest at military funerals, enhancing the grief of the family survivors. The reason they exist is because of the move in America to accept homosexual marriage and abortion. I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in a non-violent, non-confrontational buffer to protect these families from additional grief. A natural part of my thinking is, this problem would be less if the moral compass of my country was re-established and our course corrected.

That is what I am comfortable with, basic honesty and the acceptance of personal responsibility. With that foundation you can now deal with the Scriptural proscription. And that chore is strictly between you and God. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Damn! And we were so close. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Yes, I saw that. Maybe civility and intelligent judicial wisdom will now begin to manifest. I certainly hope so. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I agree with you and have no counter-point here. A point of clarification however. Placing the responsibility for a successful marriage on the husband is a Christian concept based on NT Scripture.

I personally chose homosexuality to avoid vaginas not marriage. In normal modern societies, same-sex marriage is regular marriage, btw. We have a meeting of the minds.
