The most self righteous is to one who is a law unto himself. Christians are not self-righteous. Christians recognize the righteousness of God, and realize that we all fall short of that standard. What sets Christians apart is that we know that there IS a standard, know that we fall short, and know that we are forgiven. We also have a desire to live more closely to that standard today than we did yesterday. What is the standard that you use when you choose to condemn Christians? What is the fundamental basis for your reference system? "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Prov 14:12

The government fundamentally doesn't grant rights. If it is something that can be granted, or taken away, by the government, then it is not a right. All the government can really do is recognize a (God given) right, or grant a privilege. The government can't 'sanctify' anything either. That's something only God can do. Read the Declaration of Independence. There are certain inalienable rights that are granted by the creator, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And contrary to what some may believe, 'pursuit of happiness' does NOT include one man buggering another. The definition of marriage predates all existing governments.

What kind of group housing works once open homosexuals are allowed in the military? When it's an all heterosexual male military, one barracks type will work. When male and female heterosexuals are allowed, two types of barracks are required, male and female. Once homosexuals of either gender are introduced you can't really just have a third or fourth type for male or female homosexuals, since they are attracted to each other. So now you move to a situation where each homosexual service member requires individual accommodations? That's not going to be feasible in a combat organization. The survey concerning the impact of having homosexuals serve openly in the military was presented in the news as "70% of those surveyed considered...

So you are saying that the family as a basic unit of society will not be diminished when 'marriage' can mean anything to anybody? Children deserve (have a God given right) to have a father and a mother to take care of them, rather than some government bureaucracy. Marriage pre-dates organized governments and all major organized religions. Somehow the government thinks that is has the authority to change the definition of marriage. It is a very destructive national experiment to tinker with things at that basic level and then think that the consequences till be beneficial, or at least that the damage will be minimal.

Maybe it is biased. So take up the challenge. Seriously, can you come up with even ONE question about economics where more liberals would get correct than conservatives? Come up with one. I CHALLENGE you.
