You see, the difference between your claim of "you just might be wrong" and mine is that when I state it, the only person I claim you need to explain it to is yourself. When you state it, you imply my immortal soul is on the line.
Wrong, wrong and wrong. I told you, you don't know me. The statement that I said that provoked that silly response of yours, has nothing to do with God. It is something that I learned before I believed in God.
Your big mistake is that because I am Chritstian and believe in God, you have lumped me into a catergory and prejudged how I feel about, just about everything. You demostrate this by putting words in my mouth, and provoke hatred towards me by the non-believers in this forum.
Proverbs 29:14
If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will always be secure.
It is immoral, unethical, and anti-American to deny gay people complete and equal access to all parts of the law. And that means we need to immediately repeal all sodomy laws, ensure the equal rights of marriage, and start treating those who aren't straight the exact same way we treat those who are.
You still don't get it. I don't feel as though I am denying equal rights under the law. The word marriage to me, means a union between a man and a woman. Gays can have their equal rights, but by definition the union between same-sex couples is different and I don't want my marrige to be lumped into the same catergory as them.
Plus I told you that I really am not totally sure about my decision, because I haven't recieved an answer from God on this yet.
I did feel this way before I belived in God too. So I am a bit confused about the whole thing.
But the way you make sound, you think I am some kind of gay basher or something.
And yet, the thing you seem to be most upset about is that I refuse to satisfy your bizarre obsession over whether or not I make passes at boys who wear glasses.
?
Again I say you do not have me figured out, you never will.
Where the heck did you get that idea from?
So prove it wrong.
So you admit its harrassment, just that it doesn't apply because I am anonymous.
Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
You know what would be funny, if that little comment that you cut and paste about burning in hell and eating rice-a-roni, turned out to be your hell, if God sent you there.
Actually it would be sad. I hope thats not the case.

I was also pointing out that if I pay taxes supporting gay marriage, then I am supporting gay sex, which could possible be against God's will.
But if you pay taxes to support straight marriage, then you are supporting the ability of some straight married couples to engage in sodomy if they like that sort of thing.
You are supporting straight couples doing all sorts of things that you and your religion probably wouldn't approve of, and you are doing that already.
