If that looks like a blown fuse then I have more problems than I thought I did. Anyway, DL, I never said that it forces their will on me. And it doesn't directly. It does force their will on the government. You can fight for the right to have your own opinion, but when you start forcing others to accept your opinion...how are you different from those you fight? Fighting for equality is a just cause. And I think that if someone wants to marry someone else, they should have the ability to do so, it is not up to me or anyone else to dictate someone else's life. But that same idea goes both ways. Something my Pastor was talking about last Sunday was standing up for what you believe in. And I agree that if you don't take a stand on some issues, then you will start falling for anything. If America doesn't define what it thinks is moral or immoral, then do we have a backbone at all? It is up to the people to decide. Even if we are a representative democracy, it is still the will of the people that decide what happens. If you get enough to agree with you then I have no objections, because that is now the morality of America. But we as a people shouldn't allow something to happen inside our borders that is against our moral code.

Do adults the age of 21 have more of a right to drink alcohol than those of age 20? I don't think so, but the American government does. That is the morality of the people at work. Although the same sex marriage issue is more important and gray than drinking age, I think the same rules apply. [side note1] I do think that it is pretty crummy that the President who had the least support of the people was elected. But I think that the two leading candidates were both awful. One was selfish and the other stupid. That is all I will say on that subject though, I would like to not distract from the main subject.[/side note1] "For reason is a property of God's...moreover, there is nothing He does not wish to be investigated and understood by reason." ~Tertullian [i]de paenitentia[/i] Carthaginian Historian 2nd century AD Loading...
