You want to quote Bible verses in favor of a theocracy, fine. But I disagree, and if Christ truly wants me to feel good that some people have different sins than me, then I will refuse to worship him. You see, I am morally opposed to it. Sin is sin. I am not saying we can't tell him it's sin. I am not saying we should remain quiet. What I am saying is that we cannot disenfranchise him from government, and restrict his behavior under threat of imprisonment because we disagree. You have to understand that our laws are backed up with force. Our government offers three things to lawbreakers: fines, imprisonment and death. None are consistent with spiritual choice. I am not in favor of homosexuality but am even more NOT in favor of coersed religious piety.
My Jesus is different than your Jesus. That's all. I see him as the bringer of choice. We can choose him or not. Our abstaining or attempting to abstain from sin is a gift we try to give him. We don't avoid sin to avoid Hell, but do it because we appreciate what Jesus did for us. It's done of love, not fear. We disagree on the why, not the how.

Who claims that the goal of societal political will is in the coersion of religious piety? No one cares what a person's motives are in refraining from doing wrong, just that doing wrong is not done. No one is obligated to follow a religion, but everyone is required to adhere to religious morality regardless of their personal beliefs.

Your argument reminds me of the homosexual man who wants to continue to have homosexual relations but persuade others that he obeys G-d.

I am ... unpersuaded.

Who would have thought that the Bible as given might somehow refer to a government of men by G-d. What an amazing idea!
