My God let's people make decisions and then they are judged when they die, by God, not you.

Is your God the God of the Bible? If so, what do you have to say about the nations He judged because of their moral decisions? If not, what does your God say about it...how do you know what He thinks? And shouldn't the history of Rome and Greece give you pause?

not imposing my religious beliefs on everyone else.

If opposing gay marriage is a religious belief, why was it that no atheist state ever legalized it? Why has it been illegal in states run by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Shintoists, Buddhists, animists, pagans and atheists?

BTW, if you really think the whole "live and let live" thing is reasonable in this context, you need to see post 189. Avoiding demographic suicide is not sticking one's nose in other people's decisions.

Well your old testament beliefs are not mine. If you think God is going to destroy us for immorality after all our nation has done for the world, then perhaps you shouldn't stand near me when the lightening starts.

I often pray that people who want to impose their religious beliefs on the country do not get into power. I believe that is a foundational premise of our country.

Rome and Greece never give me pause. Rome didn't fall because of immorality, but if you want to discuss that old adage, well make your case and stand back.

I am talking about your religious belief and now you say it's not a religious belief. Make up your mind and quit squirming.

Slavery used to be legal almost every where, so what? Your analogies don't apply and you can't understand the basic principle of right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Maybe you should live in a theocracy.
