Quote:
Secularism is the view that religious considerations should be excluded from civil affairs or public education. But for people that are religious, this is not possible. The premise behind secularism is to try to get Christians not to vote their moral or religius conscious...which I ask if that's not what you're going to do...why even proclaim to be a Christian?? BUt hey..if I was an atheist...I'd support secularism too.

Interesting points...but I don't agree, and here's why:
In case you haven't noticed, being religious or nonreligious aside, Christianity is not the only religion in this country. And even within Christianity there are many different faiths.
The point is, you believe what YOU believe and make your decisions. As a Christian, you should know that the big theme is FREE WILL. No where in the Bible does it say(and as far as I know, there is nothing in any other religion), "Ye shall not allow thy neighbor to do...whatever" Yes, there are "shall nots" all over the place, and interpreting those is not really the point. In the end YOU are responsible for YOURself, others are not your concern. "Judge not lest ye be judged." Everyone must make their own choices, it is not for you to be their moral police, you are not God. (Besides the fact that homosexuality is indeed genetic, but we won't get into that)
