Ron said: What if a religion wanted to marry gays..

Ron,

This is the whole point (other religions have been "wanting" to marry gays all along).. The large powerful "fundy" Christians are forcing their morals on others (regular Christians and those of all other faiths and of no faith) by controlling the government (like a theocracy)..

RON: Are you guys reading this? Please let me know (and I will keep sending comments).. I cannot call in due to the nature of my job..

BIG mistake on leviticus.. The Christian bible fairly clearly lays out the death penalty for gays (I am not advocating this because I am an atheist).. Religious freedom says people can interpret their bibles any way they want to.. Our secular government should try to keep the peace (especially the killing part)..
