I don't favor them using the force of government to enforce beliefs.

The belief that all men are created equal is enforced by our government (whether well or poorly is another debate). On what basis do we claim that all men are created equal?

Even simpler question for you, Luis (which you seem to hate to answer). Do you make a distinction between religious morality and non-religious morality?

Shalom.

It's actually you that are dancing around in circles here, trying to get the answer that you are looking for, rather than the answer that I am giving you.

I am asking no one to change their beliefs, you however, are trying to use the force of government to implement your religious beliefs on others and deny them theirs. They don't believe they are doing anything wrong.

I don't agree with them in that they are not doing anything wrong, as I believe that the practice of homosexuality is a sin.

However, I believe that this sin is punishable by G*d, but I don't believe that He needs your help policing His laws.

I am questioning the use of government to enforce your morality under our Constitution.

I will make the eaxct same argument, holding the Constitition in my hands, the day that (G*d forbid) we arrive at a Muslim majority in this nation who wishes to implement the Shariah.

Vaya con Dios.
