You’re right with regards to God sorting it out, but that’s something that you and I believe, others may not see it as a sin within their own belief system, that’s the other reason I feel the whole issue isn’t something the government should be involved in, you can’t and shouldn’t try to legislate anyone’s belief system on another.
In the same breath, we shouldn’t use the force of government from forcing any religion to conduct gay marriages if it’s against their belief system.
In many areas the government should stay out of peoples lives period.
I also believe that a persons religious views shouldn’t be forced on people through the government either, our founders saw what the Church of England was doing and felt that people should be free to worship as they choose and that the government shouldn’t enforce any religious beliefs on another.
Politicians are always going to shape their opinions based on their faith at times, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn’t go so far as to force their beliefs on others through law.
It’s a fine line, but it’s one that always needs to be walked, as long as they realize in the end that personal freedoms should always trump all.
Well, I don’t see that we have a disagreement about the use of the government.
But I also believe that such rules as exist should definitely cut both ways. If the enemy is hitting below the belt, kick ‘em in the balls.
