But you have once again failed to see the inherent fallacy of your entire argument. After so many words, so much bloviating, the simple fact is that you are trying to use the power of the U.S. government to confirm your own moral opinions and judgements (some of which are not shared by others), which are taken from the Bible.

Whatever God may or may not say is a sin IS NOT in and of itself an appropriate or justifiable basis for molding law here on Earth. If I were to say to you (honestly) that I believe that you are quite possibly a few cards short of a full deck for your loony "There's a battle going on" comment about homosexuality (really man, what were you thinking?), does that give me the right to have you locked up in a mental hospital? No, because it's just your opinion, and I have mine as well. And the gays have theirs as well. And, yes, no religious or moral opinion is LEGALLY more valid than any other unless it is acted upon in a way that brings physical harm to another person or their property, no matter how stupid or dangerous I might consider them.

My own opinion (just that) is that while homosexuality may be a sin, it is not a crime of any sort, and that it is a horrendous breach of the government's powers to impose their views on the issue on the individual citizens of America. Therefore I actively oppose ANY legislation on the matter, from the unilateral decision of the liberal Massachussetts Supreme Court to the proposed Constitutional Amendment our (mostly) conservative President proposed.

The government which governs best, governs least.

"it is a horrendous breach of the government's powers to impose their views on the issue on the individual citizens of America."

Oh, okay. So maybe the government can just look the other way while marriage between 3 or 4 partners starts happening. Or marriage between mother & son, or father & daughter..........

Yeah, we would just hate it if the government imposed those "old-fashioned" views of just a one man/one woman marriage on everyone. Sure....let everyone be "free"..........

Sorry, that just won't work. There's a lot of us out here who just won't go along with the 'anything-goes' type of thinking.
