At my house, you are welcome! As long as you are good to my cats – that is. I too am sorry that you have suffered. Gays are becoming as much of a “you don’t fit in with our kind” group as any. In fact, I am finding them to be more and more repressive in their attitutudes, opinions, views, outlooks etc… It is not the community I left so many years ago.

“Why don’t you try the same logic with your extended family. Take everybodies paychecks, deposit them in a bank account and dole out equal amounts of cash to every member of your family.”
Bad and imperfect analogy. The state/federal governments don’t take ALL the money and put it into a pot and distribute it evenly – what they do is take SOME money and try to help those that are down and out.
Americans are in so much debt its unbelievable. Few people save anymore, and far too many people live outside their means. We are a country of debt and debtors. The country is in debt up to its ears, not because of social programs, but primarily because of defense spending.

“Then by the same standard of coercion, the church should not impose it’s standard of marriage onto the state?”
I couldn’t agree with you more!!! 🙂
