Letting gay people marry one another within a secular organization such as the government is NOT akin to "allowing unbelievers to impose their sin/beliefs on Christians". Gay people marry all the time and you're not even aware of it because it has ZERO effect on you.

That's like saying that we "approve" of sky-diving simply because we have determined that it is legal to do so.

No. I believe that most secularists are deceived and on the wrong path.

What if it was a statue of Jesus? Would you support it? Or would you say that it's probably better that we permit public lands to be free of religious ideology?

Ha ha. That's for sure!

It seems that, some of our Christian brothers and sisters want the laws of the U.S. to be based on the bible, rather than on the constitution. Hence, my question.

If a community wanted to build a statue of Zeus on public land to be used to worship him, would you oppose it?

Sure, but what does that have to do with letting secularists be secular?

I'm not interested in being loved by "the world". For that matter, if I wanted to be popular here on this forum, I would NOT have created this thread. It seems that, many Christians want to use the power of government to prevent same-sex marriage but, are apathetic about preventing other...

Should it be legal for non-Christians to worship another god?

Yes. I try to follow Christ, but I often fall short.

That's a good and informative post. Thanks for sharing that.

Sure, but we're not commanded to use government to sanction them for their sins.

I believe there are plenty right now that follow Jesus and treat others with love and kindness. Their only "sin", according to the bible, is that they're engaged in a sinful relationship. With that said, who in this world is without sin?

Do you believe that it is wrong or immoral to take unnecessary risks with one's life? Let me ask you another question. Are you engaging honestly in order to advance understanding or are you trying to win an argument?

Not really. Just because you believe that homosexuality adversely affects others does not make it so.

Fair point.

I didn't see the word "marriage" in the verse.
