Separation of Church and State was implemented to keep the state out of the church and not the other way around. Not that I disagree on your position on the whole. We as Christians are to love all and we should be known to the world by our love for others. However, homosexuality is a sin. That leaves us in a bit of a dilema does it not? We should hate the sin because in hateing the sin we in turn acknowledge that we hate all sin, including our own personal sin. Christianity gets a bad rap because people like to use Christianity as a means to an end. If they can get get the support of Christians by crying wolf and spreading propaganda in order to accomplish their agenda, then they have the majority of people on their side. For example the crusades. Believe it or not Christianity is by far the worlds largest religion at just under a third of the worlds population. So you see my point. Christians are human like everyone else and can just as easily be misled. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state ...and if you don't believe wikipedia... http://www.usconstitution.net/jeffwall.html Just to interject… Separation of Church and State was implemented to keep the state out of the church and not the other way around.

To say things that this shows how immature you really are. Why should it bother you what others choose to do with their lives??? Its really wrong that you would judge someone like this because you think you know everything. What you really need to do it waste your time on something else and not put comments on here like this. You must think its funny or something. Its offensive and i'm not gay and it offended me. I'm married and if someone tried to tell me I couldn't marry my husband because they think its not right I would be pissed. Maybe you should look at it a different way and stop thinking its about people putting Baby Ruths up there butts. And just so you know a Baby Ruth is not a chocolate bar you dumb ass its peanuts and caramel. So there you go again making things up in your head. GET OVER IT!!! Why does it bother you so much??????

Gay people are also humans too!! I don't see why everyone has a problem with gay married, and gay people! It's wrong! If a women is happy with another women let them be, if a man is happy with another man, then let them be! At least they are happy! I'm happy with my girlfriend! I havn't been this happy in a really long time! I Agree with you!! Gay people are also humans too!! I don’t see why everyone has a problem with gay married, and gay people! It’s wrong!

Somehow the religious seem to think that they came up with this great idea called “marriage” and that is has been violated by homosexuals. The truth, as it so often is in these cases, is completely the opposite. Marriage predates verifiable recorded history, essentially a social extension of the mating procedure for reproduction. The Greeks and Romans had marriages, both opposite sex and same sex. There were no civil ceremonies, only an “agreement” for husband and wife, or husband and husband, wife and wife accordingly. So what violated this traditional standard of marriage? Oh that’s right…it was the Christians.[1] In 342, the Christian emperors Constantius II and Constans banned same-sex marriage. In 390, three other Christian emperors, Valentinian II, Theodoisus, and Arcadius, made homosexual sex a crime punishable by death (burned alive because Christians are so merciful). As I write this, religious fundamentalists across several different religions are rallying together to support a California proposal that effectively bans homosexual marriage. Marriage, they reckon, should be up to the religions, not the state. I ask, why can’t you have it both ways? It would be simple. Define a state marriage that has all the perks of “regular” marriage, allowing anyone to marry anyone. Let the religions decide what they want to do about marriage within religion. There would be no difference in opinion either way. Religions would still reckon that state marriages weren’t governed by God, whilst the religious homosexuals forced to take a state marriage as their only option would argue that they were. It has worked in the UK for the last few years, and there is no reason why it couldn’t work anywhere else. Secularisation is the only sufficient train of thought that respects the wishes of all groups. It calls for a separation of church and state. The state cannot control the church and the church cannot control the state. A very simple relationship that allows people to either align with one or both, depending on what they want to do. So yes, let’s be traditionalists. Let’s take marriage back to its original status: An agreement between two people to be loyal and faithful to each other for the rest of their lives.
