Do you think that we should protect America against religious fanatics who want to take away everyone's rights and make this country a theocracy based on their personal interpretation of the Bible, or should we let fundamentalist homophobic Nazi bigots like Pat Robertson and James Dobson and Jerry Falwell take over the government of America so they can usher in a new Spanish Inquisition to outlaw, imprison, torture and murder those who disagree with them?

The United States in NOT a Democracy or a theocracy. It is a Constitutional Republic in which ALL citizens, regardless of religious belief, are EQUAL. Jesus said, "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD!!!!" No religious person has any right to inflict their personal religious views on anyone else. If gays want to get married, it is their human right to do so, irregardless of what anyone else thinks about it. I am a Christian who does not believe gay marriage is a sin because the Bible does NOT condemn homosexual identity no matter how much the Fundies scream that it does. They hate gays, not because of the Bible, but because of their own personal bigotry. It is NOT shoving it in anyone's face for gays to marry anymore than it is shoving it in anyone's face when straights marry. What someone else does in their life is their OWN business. If everyone butts the heck out of everyone else's business, America will be the way the Founders wanted it to be.

When these united States of America was created by the constitution, it is Constitutional Republic, not democracy as some people think. Also, these united States of America was created to be a CHRISTIAN NATION.
Right now these united States of America is an EMPIRE. Since the uSA did over throw these Confederate States of America and the Kingdom of Hawai`i.

It's a Constitutional Republic, but with only two tastes: Red or Blue, *** or Elephant. Baskin-Robbins offers more choices.
Dear censors: as* is a normal English word, but I will settle for Donkey. Hmm, now it looks more like a Theocracy...

It's a republic - governed by the people. They have the right to their opinion just like you have a right to yours. If you start taking rights away from people you disagree with, then you are undermining the very principles of a democracy.

The US is a democratic Republic and the citizens should be fighting to keep it that way.
Considering the track records of theocracies to date, I sure don't want to live in one if I don't have to.

I'm guessing you are in favor of the Republic lol.
Hey, listen my friend, when you offer someone a choice, make it a fair one, okay? Your question is like saying "would you like a sweet gentle kiss on the cheek or shall I hit you over the head with a shovel?" lol

This is one of those "is your mother a whore" type questions that doesn't seek an answer but rather wishes to push an agenda.
It was depicted on the Daily Show too, put a question mark behind any statement and it's perfectly fine.

If you are gay and upset about it-ask for help. Don't attack people who make you feel your guilt. It is their job to point out perversion and sin. It is your responsiblity to confess your sins. You can be helped. There are hundreds of people who will be glad to help you. Why don't you just ask Jesus into your heart-repent of your sins- he will not turn you down, no matter how ugly your sin. He is waiting-------your move.
