Do you even know what the religious meaning of free will is? Free will is a permission of god for men to live their lives as they see fit (judgement is supposed to come later). Not allowing gay marriage is an attack on free will :D want to go against the word of god?

This one ranks right up there with the all time worse.

God's judgement comes later, Caesar's is a bit more contemporary. In America we are free to worship the Lord, not so free to break the laws of man. Marriage in America is licensed, that licensing is done by the states, as it should be. The laws regarding licensing are passed by legislators elected by their constitutents. Every law, yes every law, has a moral component and liberty interests that are not defined as fundamental rights either by tradition of explicit constitutional language are the province of the people of those states.

Comprende'?

What about tax laws, SEC rules and parking violations?

He doesn't even grasp the meaning of free will among Chistians so you're way beyond his depth. Again, I'm not sure I've ever seen FReepers this clueless about Christianity, about conservatism, about the historic stands of the Grand Old Party.
