Eagle Eye, you're 100% right. When the government begins to enforce a religion, we're no better than Afghanistan under the Taliban. This country was founded on principles of morality which come from the Judeo-Christian tradition, but it has never been the job of the government to protect a Christian State.

If two consenting adults wish to engage in behavior (however abhorrent we find it to be) which makes them happy, and does not infringe upon the rights of others, the government has no business interfering.

I would agree as well. The government should not enforce a religion. But what about enforcing morality?

Shalom.
