Faith and politics

This issue of gay marriage is force on the ballot by politician and lawmakers looking for votes in this presidential election.I look at this GAY ISSUE as nothing more than politician pandering to a SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP (GAYS) with financial mussles to help the Democrats election of their candidates.But the question is do the Democrat leaders in California or any other States really cares and examine this issue to its very core and its effect to CHRISTIAN VALUES and CHRISTIAN TEACHING in this CHRISTIAN NATION. The majority of Americans are Christian and a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman is an absurd craziest idea intelligent and supposedly smart lawmakers in this country now justify? There is no way any politician claiming he is a christian and go to church and believe in God end up making this kind of judgement.God is much intelligent and smarter than this kind of decision our politician make.Another craziest thing about this issue is that some of these people now call themselves gays use to be fathers and mothers and have childrens of their own but why all of a sudden this change is a very strange change that worth examine.

Mormons hating on gay marriage is funny. They were persecuted badly for plural marriage until they betrayed their faith for popular acceptance. Now they have some power and can't wait to use it on gays.

First of all your argument is silly, because issues like proposition 8 typically make the Christian right come out in force. The staunch gay rights supporters will also come out in force, but there are fewer of those to sway the ballot. Luckily there is likely to be big turnout for Democrats across the country due to Obama running for President, so hopefully prop 8 will be shot down and discrimination will not be written into the state constitution.

It's sad that so many people who call themselves Christians feel the need to impose their religious beliefs on others. I am a Christian and I believe that people should be free to do as they please, it is not my place to judge their lives, that is between them and God.

When Christ was on Earth he did not force anyone to adhere to his teachings, he simply preached the truth and led by example. If more people would do that today, there wouldn't be so many issues over things like gay marriage. If you think it is a sin and those who do it will go to hell, then I would suggest that you not do it.

Under God's law engaging in intercourse outside of marriage is a sin also, yet we don't have a constitutional ban on that.

While many people in this country are in fact Christians, Christianity should not dictate the laws of this land. Our founding fathers intended for the people of this great country to be free from the religious persecutions of their fellow man. Just as you are free to practice whichever form of Christianity you prefer, others need to be allowed to have their own religious beliefs whatever they might be.

When you mention God or religion in your marriage argument you automatically lose. It's a matter of law not faith. Every citizen has equal rights to every other and marriage is a legal contract. Racists already tried this until 1967 when laws banning mixed race marriage were struck down as unconstitutional. You and your church can refuse to recognize it but government has to.

it's a sad day in american history when a slick talking chicago street thug can talk his way into the highest office in the land.
