Commands from God and his general level of interaction in the modern age

I don't think we are losing any rights on this forum. If those arguing from a religious basis are angry, hostile, and rant a lot, that only loses them support for their own arguments. I intend trying to treat them as nicely as possible, while still pointing out problems in their reasoning.Remember, too, that the religious right are not representative of all christians.

The gay rights issue is a tricky one. Many people are ambivalent on it. They don't agree with the victimization from the right, but they are not quite sure where they stand themselves on the issue.There are many christian groups that oppose the "marriage protection" constitutional amendment, and I doubt that there will ever be such an amendment passed.Gay rights questions still need more time to be worked out in the culture. I'm afraid that takes time.
