		<description>1. Not all Christians believe homosexuality is wrong, or a sin (when the Bible says it is), and those who call themselves Christian homosexuals are actually contradicting Scripture.  I don't approve of their homosexuality and I would tell them they are making a mistake if they believed homosexuality was compatible with the faith, because it's actually a sin.

2. The point of my comment wasn't to tell people who aren't Christians that they should believe homosexuality is wrong, now, was it?  My main insight is that abolition of slavery and the fight for civil rights is not the same as supporting gay marriage. 

3. I'm more than grateful to live in a country where I won't be executed by the government for following my faith, but all Christians should hold a Christian worldview.  I am Christian first, American second, and that requires me to boldly proclaim the Gospel and do what is right, no matter if it conflicts with secular government or not.  If a Christian believes abortion is murder and that homosexuality is wrong and wants to shut down abortion clinics and deny gays the right to marry, others will perceive him as anti-right, judgmental, bigoted, intolerant, arrogant, or stupid (and sometimes, they're right, as in the case of Shirley Roper), but in actuality, that person is living out his faith and trying to fight for what he believes is the truth.  He has no choice but to call out evil when he sees it as evil, and must act on it, regardless of what the government says, regardless of the General Will, regardless of whether or not he will be put to the death for it.

The Christian cannot be politically correct.  "Not Christian, not gay, just accepting"?  I can't be Christian and accept what I believe is wrong in the eyes of God and let it be.</description>

		<description>Just because you all as christians believe it is wrong due to the fact that it is in the bible does not mean others who dont follow your faith should believe it too. If you don't think a man and a man or a woman and a woman should marry then all you christian gays stay unmarried. But leave the option open for everyone else since, after all, America is SUPPOSED to welcome all faiths and beliefs.</description>

		<description>Dude, this is the thing...

Many make the claim that the issues revolving around gay marriage now is synonymous to the issue of racial discrimination in the past, but that is a fallacy in regards to the Christian faith.

Christianity does not advocate racism.  In the past, there have been Christians who actually defended slavery -- I believe they were wrong.  Dead wrong.  That doesn't mean they weren't my brothers and sisters in Christ, that they didn't receive salvation according to the faith, but Christianity does not antagonize the belief that racism is wrong (because it IS wrong).

However, in the Bible, it says homosexuality is a sin.  If people don't believe that, then they contradict Sola Scriptura (that the Bible is the Word of God, inspired and inerrant), and if they don't believe in Sola Scriptura, one must wonder if they are true Christians that will be saved according to true theology.

Honestly?  As a Christian, I'm struggling with this issue.  I can understand the Ten Commandments.  I can believe that worshiping other idols is a sin.  I can believe murder is a sin.  I can believe lying is a sin.  I can believe stealing, coveting, committing adultery, and even desiring to do so are sinful.  Yet, why is it, that two men, or two women, that genuinely and honestly lover each other, can be a sin?  What's morally questionable about that?  Is it so simple as that God made woman for man and man for woman and contradicting that is a sin?  Maybe it is.  Maybe Christianity is a false religion, a tragic deceiver of untold millions.

I simply want to share this insight, that the issue of gay marriage is going to have a significant barrier that the fight for civil rights did not have to overcome, and that is the opposition of true believers in the Christian faith.</description>
