If I rob someone, I am taking their property. If I murder someone, I am taking their life. If I fall in love with another woman, that does not trespass on any of another person's rights. That is the fundamental difference. If you are looking to control others according to your personal faith and beliefs, you are living under the wrong governmental system. Theocracies work that way. Democracies were never meant to.

I see your point Cloud9. Even with the whole seperation of church and state idea, our society is STILL based upon biblical principles that we use everyday, although now our greater society is now trying to undo that.
Sorry guys, and I am not anticipating changing minds on here, but I don't believe gay marriages should be legal. It says it plain and true in the Bible. And if I take the Bible for what it says on matters such as love, angels, etc. I also take it for what it says or other things that may be "unpopular" in todays society.
Thanks for the discussion guys!
