Your morality is different than others, and all the same how you don’t want their morality imposed on you, they don’t want your morality imposed on them.

I thought we were all for limited government here?

Your Pro Homosexual Agenda is supporting the honor of your Sodomite friend/neighbor/relative I suppose.

Happens all the time around here...

There’s only one morality, real morality. You know, the kind our country was founded upon.

“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites—in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
— Edmund Burke

“Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests
of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in
which all religions agree.” —Thomas Jefferson

Religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public
liberty and happiness.”

— Samuel Adams (letter to John Trumbull, 16 October 1778)”

Of all the dispositions and habits which least to political
prosperity, Religion and morality are indespensable supports.
In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should
labor to subvert these great Pilliars of human happiness.

— George Washington (Farewell Address, 19 September 1796)

“[O]ur ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits.”
— Daniel Webster, American Jurist and Senator

“[W]hen People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners,
they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign
Invaders.” —Samuel Adams

Am opposed to moral relativism which you apparently are not. There are absolutes and it makes not one iotta difference if someone believes it or not....the standards have been established. Change those standards then who decides what is acceptable or not? There has to be a ppoint of reference.....”each man going his own way will kill a society”....History attests to that.
