<DIV>I agree with you that homosexuality is wrong. However, I don't
necessarily think it should be illegal. Yeah, I know the US was founed on
Judeo-Christian ideals but I don't treally think the government should regulate
marriage (and this is coming form my incredibly strong southern republican
Christian self).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>also along the lines of homosexuality. Though I don't agree with it,
I don't have as much a problem with it as many Christians. I think its an
abberant lifestyle and that it goes against God's will. However, so does
lying (even white ones!), greediness, and tons of other stuff (even stuff we
sometimes don't really think about in terms of sin, like speeding or copying
someone's homework or somehting like that). Seeing as the Bible says that
in God's eyes all sin is equal, I don't really understand why many put things
like homosexual acts and pre-marital sex and other things like that up as these
super-huge big sins that are super disgusting. I mean, I totally agree
that they are, but so is every single sin that there is. So, basically, I
was just wondering if anyone had a particular reason for being so totally
totally against homosexuality? Everyone sins. Everyone. Every
day. Like a trillion times a year. But for some reason three or four
sins have been escalated to this super-bad status and I don't understand
why.</DIV>
