No, I expect Christians to not support it. We should not support or promote the wickedness of mankind. The laws will be what they will be but Christians have NO business supporting the celebration of sin.

Why should a Christian be against Gay 'marriage'?

Those "mega-churches" very carefully earn no profit. Where they have businesses that do make a profit, those are so taxed. Heck, it's not that difficult for a for-profit business to fail to make a profit, yet stay in business. And non-profit entities other than churches do it all the time.

You expect Christians to not support the right of a person to live free of another religion's rules?
Would you consider it fair if you were made to live under Sharia Law?
I would expect the same of muslims, so you would have no problem if they forced Sharia Law onto you?
Do you also not support religious freedoms for religions you don't belong to? Do you think people should be prevented from worshiping gods other than the God of Christianity?

You have a strange definition of "generate." That's like saying my piggy bank generates wealth. They don't generate wealth, they collect wealth.

I know I was clear on my position. I expect Christians to NOT support laws that celebrate sin. I don't expect you to get it. For God's sake, gay marriage is legal now. What are you complaining about? There are a lot of laws I don't support. Gay marriage is just one of them.
I would not support Sharia Law.
I couldn't care less.

So you would not support laws that allow people to gather and celebrate gods that are not the God of Christianity?
I get it just fine. You don't believe in religious freedom. You can't live as a Christian unless non-Christians are forced to follow the rules of Christianity.
The idea that "the Bible says so" can be the sole reason for taking someone's rights away.
Muslims would. You would have no problem with Sharia Law being forced onto you by muslims?

Christians are in the world but not of it.
What? Totally wrong about me. I'm one of the few Christians who rejects the idea that America was ever a Christian nation. It never has been and never will be, nor should it be. It is not a theocracy. Our forefathers escaped that and we should never repeat it. I do not need the laws of men to dictate to me how to follow my Lord. In fact, they cannot.
I'm not taking away your rights, nor am I trying to. I don't care what you do. I also don't care about the silly laws that silly men enact. I will just not support them. Why can't you accept this? It is what it is. A huge segment of society will never accept it, even when it is law, and IT IS. Why are you still complaining? Please explain that.

Do you support the right of people to celebrate gods that are not the God of Christianity (which is a sin in Christian theology)?
Then why do you expect people to live by rules set by a religion they don't belong to?
You sure seem to care that gay people get married.

What does this have to do with laws?
I don't. I told you I don't care about silly laws that silly men enact.
I care that professing Christians infiltrate the church and are outspoken advocates of gay marriage. They are wolves. That is what I care about.

Ok, this thread has undergone a clean up.
This is the flaming rule and note what I made red:
Ok, this thread has undergone a clean up.
This is the flaming rule and note what I made red:
Flaming and Goading
● Please treat all members with respect and courtesy through civil dialogue.
● Do not attack another member's character or actions in any way, address only the content of their post and not the member personally.
● NO Goading. This includes images, cartoons, or smileys clearly meant to goad.
● Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed.
● Only the person to whom the post is addressed may report the other. Anyone may report generalized flames or goads which are addressed to a group of members.
● Moderators have the right to report egregious violations of flaming or goading.
● Clear violations of the flaming rule will result in bans.

A Christian seeker designation means the person is a Christian, but may be seeking which church to be part of. Implying they are not Christian is not okay. Other comments about members rather than post content are also a violation of this rule. Keep it civil, on topic and on content of the post and not the member.

Not valid, since most of these people have been in business for years. This is a new ruling, it's going to take a bit of time for the dust to settle...and those with deeply held religious convictions are worried.
Will we now lose yet another right to our faith?

And refusing to serve someone on the basis of religious conviction is not the same thing as walking away from someone who is lying, beaten, broken, and dying on the side of a deserted highway. Even if I knew that he was a flaming gay, of course, I would help such a man...or woman, as the case may be.
As a Christian, I am to love them, even if they see me as their enemy, which I am not. I am to feed them if they are hungry, clothe them if they are naked, visit them if they are sick and in prison...in short, I am to do for them whatever I might do for the Lord Jesus Christ. And I am also to tell him...gently, and with compassion, that his sin has separated him from God.

Why oh why do people insist on comparing the fight for gay rights with the fight for racial equality? One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Black people were slaves in this country, until they were freed by a civil war...and even after that, there was a long and bloody trail that led to Martin Luther King...and the fight still rages on. The KKK is still very much alive and well in the south...there is a small town in Florida near Pensacola where you will be pointed to a large tree near the center of town where "we hang n----s". You don't hear much about burning crosses these days...but it still happens. There are places even here near the beach, where a black person dare not go alone, especially after dark, and places where white folks also dare not go alone, and especially after dark. My son had a bottle thrown at him for walking down the street with a black friend. Another friend of mine gets a huge kick out of coming up behind me in public and hugging me...he gets a kick out of the shocked look on white faces...yes, and some black ones, too, when I turn in his arms and plant a kiss on his cheek...people will jump to the most absurd conclusions.
But I digress...I understand that, from the lgbt pov that they have had a long weary battle...what has it been, maybe 30 years? And I suppose if I were in their position I might feel the same way. But still, there is no comparison. It's seriously reaching to even go there.
