Re: Is it wise for Christians to link the survival of Christianity to gay discriminat
OK, then why are there no objections to marry or remarry adulterers and fornicators? Marrying people that were convicted of murder, rape, pedophilia? Or serving such people (and these things are often known in communities)?
Not only that, there have been active public well-financed campaigns, by religious organizations to STOP SSM...I'm not aware of them engaging in the same thing regarding the other major sins I just mentioned.
So while I do 'recognize' that people want to object...*say* they are objecting...on religious grounds, I believe that in 99% of the cases they are full of BS and just selectively and hypocritically rejecting gays.
It has to do with having to actively participate in something one considers a sin, or actively help celebrate something the Bible teaches is a sin.
