I respect everyone's opinions, however I think you walk a fine line when you start quoting chapter and verse and questioning the individual's morality. Just how far are you going to split hairs? Do we define morality in terms of the size or impact of the issue at hand or the fact that most of us should be considered immoral because we've, at one time or another taken the Lord's name in vain, not kept the Sabbath holy, coveted a neighbor's goods or his wife, or take it up a notch and let me ask how many immorals out there who maybe have lain with a member of the opposite sex with out benefit of marriage (whew! that's a big baddie! more than once? Ooooo. go directly to Heck, do not collect golden harp do not get wings!).
I guess you just have to pick your battles and you can't pick 'em all, because if you ask me, the gay/lesbian folk (may as well throw the Mormons in too) pose little threat to society except a harmless, mostly private immoral lifestyle, and maybe it makes more sense to direct one's energies against something like, hey, how about those immorals who threaten our safety, security and very existence, who willingly cross our borders then trash talk democracy, patriotism, and the American way and by those very acts plot against us.
Seems like for anything we don't like, the [bibilcal] morality or lack thereof can be an argument against supporting it. I don't discount anyone's opinion, however I do have a problem when the Good Book is thrown in my face especially when for most people there's probably at least one passage in there proving their own immorality and isn't he who is without guilt who is supposed to throw the first stone.
OK, don't reem me out. Convince me some other way if I'm blind to the big picture.
