Texas Gay Marriage Ban Latest to Be Struck Down[W:97]

One day you'll all be judged for who and what you support.

If you don't believe that then the scripture I posted is not for you.

Still not admitting that you're taking action rather than just expressing a belief. Don't you get judged for lying?
 
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

The Bible also says that the clothing you are wearing right now is an "Abomination" to God....and don't even get me started with shellfish.

As will you. I'm not concerned. I know the teachings of Jesus Christ. Are you?

He keeps suggesting he doesn't judge others. And yet he keeps doing it. Amazing.
 
By urging folks to come to Christ. Sometimes by the hair ;)

so you don't vote for laws to make people act according to your religion?
 
Too bad, millions of Americans don't find anything wrong with theft or assault but, they are definitely wrong just like you..

based on what?
 
Make some think it's OK to lead a life of sin.

Harmful

so the harmless sin is harmful because people will believe its ok to do things that don't harm people?
 
Make some think it's OK to lead a life of sin.

You have not shown how the sin itself is harmful.

And the sin isnt 'contagious.' Either they are born to 'lead that life' or they are not.

And apparently, God made them that way.
 
Make some think it's OK to lead a life of sin.

Harmful

Should divorce be legal? Should it be legal to marry someone I don't love? Should it be legal for pagans to marry each other?
 
Pedophilia already has come up.

Actually, no pedophilia has not legitimately come up. Having some fringe loonies say they want the right to molest children (because in reality they don't really want the right to marry those children since those children would grow up and take away the very thing they are "attracted" to, their age), does not mean that there is any legitimate legal argument to allow a change in the age limitations of marriage or sexual consent. Age is almost always recognized as a valid restrictions for many rights.

It all comes down to what legitimate state interest is furthered by a restriction. No legitimate state interest is furthered by a restriction in marriage on gender/sex, but there certainly are a number furthered by a restriction in marriage on age.
 
NO what you don't understand is that I DO NOT support people or actions that I consider sinful. That's it.

There is a seriously flaw with this line of reasoning when we are talking about laws of the US. On a personal level, you are free to do this. But on a legal level, it simply is not constitutional.

Plus, if you respect/believe in freedom of religion in the US, then it is an impossible claim to live up to because Christians believe it is a sin to worship another above God (Jesus/God of the Bible). So in order to not support sin (as many claim), they would need to not support freedom of religion in our laws as well. Your reasoning (along with some other people that I know who are Christian and do not support same sex marriage being legal is that if it is legal, then they are supporting sin. So that means that you see it as if something is legal, then you are supporting sin. Since it is legal to worship another god/religion (or none at all), and such a thing is viewed as a sin according to Christianity (it in fact breaks the First Commandment), then that would mean that you are supporting sin simply by supporting freedom of religion.
 
Apologies for the thread rez. This was too good to miss:
