I'm voting a resounding YES because of MY religious beliefs and NOT because of any "party Line". If anyone can't accept THAT then there's nothing more to be said. Don't worry, I consider your acts just as acceptable as any other form of discremination.  Religion has been (mis)used to oppress and discreminate for thousands of years - it's about time it stops. | | | Regards

But isn't that imposing your religious beliefs onto others? Absolutely. The Lord said to love and forgive the sinner, not the sin. I'm just trying to help those that won't help themselves  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection | | | | Last edited: by Bad Father |

While I don't agree with the overall restriction, I respect your belief as long as it's done with the intention of helping others, not because you're offended. |

You consider the right to vote my conscience discrimination? Who are you to judge me? I daresay, I agree 8Ball, but are you surprised...regrettably I am not. I do not believe in situational ethics, or that because of the way things are to do things need to change...No they don't. As long as there is a Constitutional to proyect marriage at the Federal level, then what the states do is their business. Without that ammendment I am not interested in being saddled witn CXalifornia and her laws under the "full faith and credit clause". Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | For me, this issue is quite simple. I believe that homosexual activity is both unnatural and immoral; and I am far from alone.
Having the 'state' issue a license sanctioning an activity which a great many people believe to be immoral is simply wrong.
Please show me any other license that the government issues which promotes an activity that is considered immoral by so many. The 'state' should remain neutral.
And please don't start throwing the homophobe word around. I do not hate nor fear any living person. In fact my brother happens to be gay, and I love him none the less for it. I do however, fear for his immortal soul! | | | | Hal |

In 1955, Congress passed a law requiring that all US currency bear the motto as a Cold War measure: "In these days when imperialistic and materialistic Communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper" to "remind all of us of this self-evident truth" that "as long as this country trusts in God, it will prevail." The motto was on currency before that but wasn't required to be so. |
