Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), the Illinois Family Institute, Family Research Institute, Scott Lively and his organizations, frequently, the American Family Association, Traditional Values Coalition, etc.

Subscribe to the Christian Newswire and you will find plenty of what Barna was referring to.

However, the study did not measure “people’s” opinions about gays as: 1. godless; 2. hedonistic, and 3. “Christian bashers”??

Please join me in asking the author to document who these “people” are. General claims are not warranted.

Am I misreading your position as being for civil partnerships and against gay marriage?

I am for civil partnerships. I am not against gay or straight marriage.

Is the church supposed to reflect the culture…or shape it?

I vote for shape it.

(I think you can use the affirmation of gay marriage to justify both positions).

Regarding “hypothetical”…Jayhuck was not being specific; I was hoping he would do so and in the process I wondered allowed, what others “classes” of persons are being denied the “same rights as others.”

And…

Am I misreading your position as being for civil partnerships and against gay marriage?

Thanks.
