In saying that what Christians (I am one, BTW, and have been for over 30 years) are "cramming down people's throats" is morality, I'm saying I'm supportive of said cramming. One purpose of statutory laws is to encourage, or in some cases force, people to live in a civil way, to respect the rights of others, and to embody the values of that are respected by the majority in society. The reason this debate is so divisive and heated, not just here but in the general culture, is that a large swath of Americans are hedonists, want to live that way, and not just that, but want our laws to reflect their hedonistic "values." The reason Christians are attempting for "force" morality on people is that some are attempting to force immorality upon our body of laws.

And don't call me "bucko."

Thanks for your full response, Kenny Bunkport. I concur with your post and will delete "bucko" from any future dialogue with ya, as it was only meant to provoke your point of view, lol...
