An example of how correct you are -- the homosexual agenda, which I as a Christian abhor and consider depraved, though I have over the years had and loved dearly many homosexual friends of both sexes. Right now, the government deems it "moral" to force everyone to embrace open homosexuality by PUNISHING THEM if they simply, peacefully, lovingly, turn away and tell the open homosexual to go somewhere else for this job, this service, this apartment to rent, this adoption of a child, this homosexual-propagandizing program aimed at children in public schools. Social conservatives are STUPID to think the Federal government should do anything BUT protect the God-given right of Americans to peacefully reject and discriminate against open homosexuality in their personal, business, social, and community life.
Instead, what do "social conservatives" want to do -- use hamfisted Federal government just as stupidly in the other direction, to punish openly homosexual people? For what? For sinning? That's not the government's job. That's GOD's job and that is the job of moral, free individuals in the societies where those homosexuals live. Those moral, free individuals promote moral societies by ostracizing -- peacefully, even lovingly -- the sinner's behavior in their communities.
The Federal government has zero business in overseeing the morality of Americans. If it instead made its business to protect the rights of Americans to LIVE MORALLY, social conservatives would see much more success in the creation of a more moral culture in America.
Nonsense. I have never heard a social conservative want to use the Federal Government to “punish” homos. What we do not want is the goverment rewarding them for their sexual deviance.
Exactly, what “punishment” have you seen being called for.
