It shouldn't be the substance af a campaign to convert others. That offense encroaches on the other persons personal life. It is our calling... to bring others into the fold, there are as many different ways to do that as there are people doing it, personally I like the example, style of letting people see what we are all about.

Your calling is offensive and invasive. Not to mention un-wanted. You do NOT have the right to convert others. You simply have the right to believe for yourself. When you invade other people's space with your version of the creation myth, you have exceeded your rights. If you don't have permission from someone to proselytize, then don't. Very simple game of mutual respect. Kinda like that "don't ask, don't tell" that you guys love so much in the military.

Your morals are as un-clear and full of hypocrisey that it is laughable when you laud them. Ever wondered how christianity went from a compassionate and forgiving spiritual experience to a mean-spirited, judgemental and violent attack on secular ideas? It lost it's moral clarity! Completely. I bet jesus is kinda p-issed at you for becoming what he fought against. Careful of those lightning bolts, there rube... I'm glad that I don't share your same confusion. Let's just say that we have simple disagreement over a complex problem. I'm willing to admit we have a difference in philosophies -- Good night Johnboy!

It makes my skin crawl to see these people offering their views in public; similar to the feeling I get when someone mentions NAMBLA (sp?). Religion has become a sad and joke. The nuts want to blame secularists while they completely miss the point that it's their own hypocrisey that destroyed any crediblity their religion might have had. Jesus didn't beat people over the head to convert them. He converted people by being a living example of his preachings. There's a lesson there.

OK, Johnboy, you set the record straight once and for all. Is marriage a civil right or personal choice?

To be clear- are you referring to the legal status granted to marriage by the State, or are you referring to the choice of being single or married? There's a huge legal distinction. If the State supports the right to marry, then they MUST support that right fairly and impartially. That's the law! Hope that clears your mind.

Individual choice is NOT regulated by government. What are you, a communist?

You are conflating two separate issues.(Besides, there are many instances of pedophilia among all types of clergy - the leaders we can trust;}

I have to ask, so you are saying that if someone believes in a different religion then you or they don't think you have the right to push your religion on others then they are "haters"? It can't be they just have a different opinion then yours? So everyone who believes differently then you are haters and there is only a small miniority of people who think different then you? Did I get it right?

Duce Bigelow wrote: <quoted text> Individual choice is NOT regulated by government... Exacly. So why should the government be allowed to regulate who a person chooses to marry, as long as the other person consents and is also an adult? What legitimate reason does the government have to restrict marriage to opposite-sex couples? If states can show a legitimate reason, they can keep the opposite-sex restriction. Courts have increasingly been finding there is no legitimate reason.

Only one ruling mentioned that, and in the same sentenance that ruling stated ...that is essential to our survival. Since homosexual marriages are in no way essential to our survival that, that ruling does not apply here.
