For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:30-31 NKJV

Exactly. This is the business of GOD, not our government.

"Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being....And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker's will...this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil...This law of nature dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this... Sir William Blackstone

If God really cares about of couple of lonely cornholers, then I doubt he'd want us to worry about them, too.

While I wish this case would just go away, I think the issue is about state rights. Sodomy is not a constitutional right. If it is, what about other issues like sex in groups, among relatives, or sex for hire, if such situations are consensual. For that matter, what about age restrictions.

I think it is the wrong path to take to say the constitution protects any and all immorality.

If these things are truly kept "in the bedroom" then who is going to know? This is about endorsing it, embracing it, accepting it, and flaunting it. There is nothing "private" in that.

That said, if the gay crusade would stop there and leave kids out of the issue I could live with it. But as soon as sodomy becomes a constitutional right so will gay marriage, gay adoption, etc....and reading from or teaching the Bible will be a hate crime.

And Romans says the government is the sword of God.

Your point is?

There has to be a balance between moral laws and the government, I will agree. But to say they have no Biblical place whatsoever is a bit of a stretch.
