Interesting Topic
Hmmmmmmmmmm, I agree that the belief that homosexuality is wrong is based in religion alone. Most who do not agree with gays would say that they feel this way b/c it is against God and the Bible (so an atheist probably wouldn't be affected by this at all). That's fine, as a Chrstian I personally don't agree w/homosexuality either. However, as was stated b4, this counrty is founded on freedom of religion and separation of Church and State. That means that laws cannot be dictated based on any one's religious beliefs or values. If you feel that abiding by our constitution makes you a "part time Christian" then you should argue that the constitution is wrong. You should argue to the Supreme Court that the Constitution should be changed. However, until that happens, we have to abide by it (inso much as the laws that we write). However, to give you another example of separation of Church and state, that is less disputed: many states honor "common law marriages". However, we all know that the Bible speaks against sex outside of marriage. Should we also change this law? or better yet, should we make it illegal for couples to engage in these sorts of partnerships/sexual relationships?
Just my thoughts,
Marie
