Re: your posts #90, #88
You have contributed so much more here than I, for so much longer, I almost don't want to argue with you but in the interest of honesty I wanted to at least acknowledge your replies and say I disagree pretty strongly for the reasons I cited in #86 and #87.
To go further than what Dr. Land said would conflict with both my sense as a Christian and with my strategy of of electing conservatives.
Separately, the only problem I have with gays is if they want special rights (like state recognized gay marriage) or if they commit crimes toward others - I certainly don't object to them being employed by Walt Disney or any other company.
Beyond that, homosexuality is an issue of sin -the bible is clear that homosexuality is a sin. As with other sins that are personal, whether we are talking gluttony or keeping the sabbath or even the most serious sin of all - rejection of God's love and forgiveness - it is a matter for God's judgment.
But all this takes us away from the key issue of the day - "who should conservatives support?" Who will represent our issues, is electable and is Presidential material? Its clearly not the current Republican front runners, so who is it?
Agreeed......current Republican front runners do not represent conservatives. Doesn't mean we throw up our hands and compromise. Notice that no other groups are being asked to sacrifice their principles----only Christians. I find that appalling. Thankfully there are Christians like you----and thankfully there are people like me. We can both contribute to the dialogue.....in different ways.
