Extreme leaning GOP: Obama's support of gay marriage is "RADICAL SOCIAL ENGINEERING"

Look the church believes and Jesus said remarriage after divorce is adultery. Does that mean the state should outlaw remarriage? Of course not. Civil is civil and religious is religious.

Now look at Santorum. What’s more dangerous to society gays getting married or US senators voting for bills in exchange for board seats?

You have misinterpreted that passage completely...while I am in no way perfect, nor do I always live for Him the way I know I can, I attempt to walk that path.

Do you know how much I "give to the poor", btw? Right, I didn't think so...

That's an interesting point.

If I truly thought that God considered homosexuality a sin, and people that did it couldn't get into heaven, I would think my after-life would be better if there were more gays. Heaven would be less crowded, I would probably move up a few notches on the entrance list etc...

Gays being gay should make "Real Christians" happy, right?

OK I'll give you this.

So you agree with Loner that anti-discrimination laws protect all classes. Great.

They should*, do I think they do evently? Not even close AA being a prime exampe.

* Assuming we have them

Do you have examples of places that have gay employee quotas? Abercrombie and Fitch models

had Romney said this Loner would have been screaming hostility

don't count

also, the goalposts. you moved them

No I don't

I happen to have a certain color eyes, I do not think the Federal Gov't is out to get me because they won't pass a law specifically stating you can not fire anyone due to the color of their eyes. (Assuming you remember the color of her eyes).

Thanks, he stayed behind while I went to lunch.


-- I don't know how giving Gov't contracts to a minority owned business if they are within X% of the nearest bid is not discrimination against people for being white but

** Sorry I don't have the statute, and the person I knew (a minority who had a very very successful body shop) who told me this died a few years ago. ** They had the City of XXXX contract and serviced any car from the city that got in an accident.

Have the individuals in our society, as you put it, ever chosen to follow God's plan?

There is a vendor my past employer used where the sourcing guy said the VP he reported to told him to retain that vendor even though they weren't happy with the service because they couldn't lose another minority-owned vendor.

Sometimes, but not large segments nor for particularly long periods of time.

Are you assuming fixed dimensions of heaven?
