And so is worshiping other gods, yet I never see anyone trying to get laws passed about that, how come?
good question. yes it is a bit of double standard, is it not?
but unfortunately, currently political climate ie born again christians are only minority within the society, we would lynched if we interfere with the supposely religious freedom.
but i see what you mean.
though it still does not changed the fact that gay marriage is sinful.
though i will say i personally think mainstream churches has this unhealthy obsession with the gay sin in particular, and gays has became what i would call the ideal whipping boy for many in the mainstream christianity.
i think it might have something to do with the fact homosexuality is ONE sin most of us will never have to struggle with.
hence many within the mainstream christians tend to be extra harsh on this particular sin.
i personally find such an obsession a bit sad, and goes against the principle "love the sinners, hate the sin" ( I am not talking about pretend it is not a sin, but to single it out and impose extra harsh measures on those who are in it, and do it without compassion or consideration).
if fact, one of my gay friends once told me there is a joke within the gay community, that sometimes we christians ( some of us anyway) seem to think about gay staff more than gay people do, maybe we ( some of us) are closeted gays ourselves, that is why we are trying to live vicariously through what gays are doing behind close doors.
i do not blame them for thinking this way, i myself often wondered about what is the exact cause for this unhealthy obessesion on the part of many of my fellow christians.
