“As far as morality goes, you take care of yours and let other people take care of theirs.”

Well, I can’t exactly disagree, since all morality stems from our individual conduct. But since we live in together in organized social and political communities, I can’t ignore the moral behavior of my fellows, any more than I can ignore the moral behavior which is either promoted or tolerated by the governing authorities. There is a civic duty to participate in that which affects the welfare of our society, even if you don’t believe in G-d. Beyond that, my post is simply saying that, as a religious person, I feel deeply concerned by this latest assault on our ancient moral traditions.

Your point of view is not uncommon, but it is decidedly contrary to the great founding fathers and Lincoln, who all maintained that morality was a matter of the national interest and a prerequisite to G-d’s grace.

Amen! Look at the churches that were eagerly looking to marry homosexuals,that is a back in your face to God! But don’t think for a moment that this homosexual agenda is not about making the churches recognize homosexuality as normal. For those who will NOT recognize homosexuality those churches will lose any kind of government assistance and or will be charged with some kind of prejudice or hate-crime. The homosexual agenda is NOT about keeping it in the bedroom as some say. In ten years, more and more young people will just go with the flow but as long as the Bible is still in circulation there will still be that small still voice of Gods will to be heard. But let’s not forget homosexuality is hardly our only problem. 50 million dead children from abortion is also this countries dirty secret. 50 million dead children! Do we deserve God’s blessing?
