You are an incoherent idiot that cannot comprehend the simplest of sentences. By making it so gays can't marry, you are FORCING the laws of your faith on them.

hmmm... several million jews must be wrong, then. maybe you should set all those rabbis straight, okay?
In the Canaanite religion, or Levantine religion as a whole, &#274;l or Il was the supreme god, the father of humankind and all creatures and the husband of the goddess Asherah as recorded in the clay tablets of Ugarit (modern R&#257;s Shamr&#257; - Arabic: &#1585;&#1571;&#15 87; &#1588;&#1605;&#15 85;&#1575;&#8206;, Syria).[2]
The noun &#702;&#275;l was found at the top of a list of gods as the "Ancient of gods" or the "Father of all gods", in the ruins of the royal archive of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. The bull was symbolic to &#274;l and his son Ba&#699;al Hadad, and they both wore bull horns on their headdress.[3][4][5][6] He may have been a desert god at some point, as the myths say that he had two wives and built a sanctuary with them and his new children in the desert. &#274;l had fathered many gods, but most important were Hadad, Yam, and Mot.

My friend, when I sin, I ask for forgiveness. Everyone sins, even Christians.
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.(NLT, Matthew 6:14-15)
Of the murderers, rapists and liars that you speak of, they will be Judged by our Father just as we will.
Revelation 21:8 ESV;
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

My friend, God gaves us all FreeWill to do as we wish. But he makes clear of what is right and wrong. Murderers sin when they Murder, not when they marry. Liars sin when they Lie, not when they marry. Man and Woman sin when they commit Homosexuality.
But forget not of,
1 John 1:9 ESV;
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 Peter 3:18 ESV;
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

My friend, very good question.
Most of the fifty-five Founding Fathers who worked on the Constitution were members of orthodox Christian churches and many were even evangelical Christians. The first official act in the First Continental Congress was to open in Christian prayer, which ended in these words: "...the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Savior. Amen". Sounds Christian to me.
The Declaration of Independence was based off the Bible. Also, the money that is used has the words, "In God We Trust" on it.
God is not mentioned in the Constitution, but He is mentioned in every major document leading up to the final wording of the Constitution. For example, Connecticut is still known as the "Constitution State" because its colonial constitution was used as a model for the United States Constitution. Its first words were: "For as much as it has pleased the almighty God by the wise disposition of His Divine Providence…"
And much more..

Kom, surely you agree that America had more than 55 people for the total population back in 1776.
And In all those documents you mentioned, how many times is "Christ" mentioned? It's kinda hard to be "Christian Nation" if you never mention the name of "Christ", isn't it?

My friend, when Man and Woman commit homosexuality, they are commiting sin. We have to acknowledge that you don't translate a word from Hebrew and Greek into the English if there is no English equivalent. So, using the term "homosexual" in the English Bible could not have occurred until after the word had entered the English vocabulary.
•1 Cor. 6:9, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." (NASB, ESV, NIV,)
•1 Tim. 1:10, "realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." (NASB, ESV)
In Each case, the Greek word used for 'homosexual' is &#7936;&#961;&#963 ;&#949;&#957;&#959 ;&#954;&#959;&#943 ;&#964;&#951;&#962 ;, arsenokoites. Here is what it means according to Greek dictionaries:
•&#7936;&#961;&#96 3;&#949;&#957;&#95 9;&#954;&#959;&#94 3;&#964;&#951;&#96 2; arsenokoít&#275;s; gen. arsenokoítou, masc. noun, from árs&#275;n (730), a male, and koít&#275; (2845), a bed. A man who lies in bed with another male, a homosexual (1&#12288;Cor. 6:9; 1&#12288;Tim. 1:10 [cf. Lev. 18:22; Rom. 1:27]).
•&#7936;&#961;&#96 3;&#949;&#957;&#95 9;&#954;&#959;&#94 3;&#964;&#951;&#96 2;, &#959;&#965;, &#8001; an adult male who practices sexual intercourse with another adult male or a boy homosexual, sodomite, pederast
•&#7936;&#961;&#96 3;&#949;&#957;&#95 9;&#954;&#959;&#94 3;&#964;&#951;&#96 2; (arsenokoit&#275;s), &#959;&#965; (ou), &#8001; (ho): n.masc.; &#8801; Str 733—LN 88.280 male homosexual, one who takes the active male role in homosexual intercourse (1Co 6:9), specifically interpreted as male homosexual paedophilia (nab footnote); possibly a more generic term in first Timothy; sodomites (rsv, nrsv, nkjv), perverts (niv, neb, reb), practicing homosexuals (nab), homosexual (njb),(1Ti 1:10+).

Oh but my friend they were Christians, Christian means a follower of Christ. They spoke of God, God is the Father of Christ. They also wrote of the Bible, the Bible that has the Words of God and of Jesus.
