I think God would differ on this issue

Not every sin should be a crime and not every crime is a sin.

God has a way of enforcing his own laws. We don't need the cops to enforce anti idolotry laws or the laws of gravity.

If the government has no business enforcing Sabbath laws (one of the Big Ten) then why should it have business enforcing sodomy laws?

As much as homos repulse me and I believe what God says about the topic, I see no reason that free people cannot willing choose to sin. Let God sort it out.

"As much as homos repulse me . . .

. . . I will do everything in my power to make sure they become larger, more visible, and powerful in my community as well as in government and the governmental decisions of this nation. It's the least I can do to show them how tolerant and broad-minded I am. I will do that by defending their taxpayer-costly perversion from governmental sanction with the same zeal I show for protecting the Second Amendment."

Isn't that what you are really saying?

Honoring the Sabbath is a religious custom or usage of religion. It is not a facet of religious morality, as the proscription of homosexual sodomy is. Saying that only God can judge people's actions is being really cruel to them, and endangers the soul of the one who is being tolerant of the evil.

Agreed. As great as it is whenever children honor their parents, the failure to do so is not an area which the law has a role in nor should have. We were talking about the cruel form of murder known as 'homosexual sodomy' though, which has been illegal in most of human history. Homosexuals may have always existed, but they have always historically suffered natural retributions for their deeds. To proscribe this form of murder is a kindness. In essence you are trying to argue for the repeal of laws against murder so as to allow God to judge them, and that doesn't pass the rightness and fairness test.
