A lot of christian preachers, black, hispanic and otherwise oppose it. Isn’t that what their religion says they should do?
Christian is spelled with a capital “c.”
The lack of respect is obvious, and not just as demonstrated by your poor grammar. You come to a patently conservative website to post your opinion the day after you sign up. You attempt to bait and engage us in debate, as though we have never had this conversation before.
You should have been here last week, when we were discussing the op-ed by Denver’s Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, “Little Murders.” http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/viewarticle.php?selectedarticle=2008.10.18_Chaput_Charles%20J._Little%20Murders_.xml
Substitute the general, “Christian,” for the specific, “Catholic,” in this statement by Archbishop Chaput wrote:
“We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue, and it’s never an end in itself. In fact, tolerating grave evil within a society is itself a form of evil. Likewise, democratic pluralism does not mean that Catholics should be quiet in public about serious moral issues because of some misguided sense of good manners. A healthy democracy requires vigorous moral debate to survive. Real pluralism demands that people of strong beliefs will advance their convictions in the public square - peacefully, legally and respectfully, but energetically and without embarrassment. Anything less is bad citizenship and a form of theft from the public conversation.”
