Muslims promote Sharia law. Why do Christians not promote their law?

If it was illegal to make fabrics out of mixed fibers, Wal-Mart would go out of business and everything would cost more. That would be poor stewardship.

To be fair, Jesus did stop the mob from stoning the woman who committd adultery. The qualification is, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," so nobody is technically allowed to do it.

Whatever it is, I'm guessing they wouldn't be able to do it on Sunday.

To quote a female friend of mine: What kind of man reads the instructions?If you can't figure it out by looking at the picture on the box, you probably shouldn't be messing with it.

You contradict yourself.If we find ourselves in the circumstance of wanting to marry or if we find ourselves in the circumstance of not wanting to marry or if we find ourselves in the circumstance of being gay, what's the difference?

So, the Bible condemns homosexuality but it shouldn't be illegal in the U.S. - yet homosexual marriage should be illegal? How can you make a contract between two people illegal when nothing in the contract is illegal?

To many people, the "pursuit of happiness" includes marriage - and to the person of their choice, not a government-approved candidate. Marriage is not essentially a "public institution". It's a contract between two people which the government recognizes by affording it certain privileges, e.g. tax breaks.The government has no business interfering in whom you make a contract with. If it can forbid homosexuals from marrying, it can also forbid you from selling your house to a black man. But marriage is a contract. It may have certain social implications as well but the government has no control over that. As far as the government is concerned, it's just a contract between two people. And single people who are cohabiting do indeed have a sort of unwritten contract. That's why it's called a "common law marriage". That's why the law recognizes "palimony".
