Take homosexuality. Homosexuality is a sin, nothing more, nothing less -- a SIN. What is PURE EVIL is a government that forces you and yours to go along with open homosexuality...

Here's what you miss: at one time, homosexual behavior was PROPERLY criminalized by government universally, everywhere. Yes, homosexuality is a sin, and it should also be a CRIME. Where we ceased to make it a crime was where the Gaystapo drew their strength.

Coveting the belongs of others is a sin. Gluttony is a sin. Anger is a sin, as are lust, and avarice and pride.

Would you support a "Christian" candidate to outlaw those things?

You are also off base in this: ZERO conservatives that I know of are calling to make it illegal for a baker to bake a "wedding" cake for two homosexuals pretending to get married. There are ZERO conservative that I know of who are calling to outlaw renting an apartment to two homosexuals, which BY DEFINITION means laws either against renting to two people of the same sex OR differing sexes who are unmarried.

Leftists are calling for laws OUTLAWING free people -- the baker, the landlord -- to peacefully, civilly tell open admitted homosexuals or "shacked-up" guys and gals to go somewhere else.

I despise the gay lifestyle, but I despise nanny-state moralists such as yourself who presume to use government FORCE to punish sins as crimes, every bit as much.

Gossiping is a sin. Should it also be a crime?
