The Moral Majority, made up of GOP members, might be pushing followers from Christ by leading a campaign to ban gay marriage. Their legislative goals only anger people by taking rights from Americans. I believe that if any group wants supporters, you don't take their rights, it wont change their beliefs. Do they realize that they may be defeating their own purpose?

You know, republicans faced a dilemma a long time ago--around the 70's. After decades out of power in the Congress and only occassionally winning the Presidency, they thought how can a party that only cares about 2-3% of the population get votes?
Their answer--genious really--was to use religion. There were other angles like using racism in the South and such, but the religion thing was brilliant, if despicable.
By the 90's they had acheived their goals. They had decent, Christian people convinced that they must vote Republican or go to hell.
Now, it is all coming unraveled on them. Lots of Christians, although not a majority yet, are starting to question whether Jesus would actually support greed, selfishness, intolerance, assault rifles, and unecessary wars (or any wars for that matter).

Well in a land without G_D, you could be right. But since the founding of this nation it was ingrained in society, and assumed that people would follow a faith or at least follow the simple Ten Commandments. Now in this new century, People assume G_D doesn't exist or question such existence.
The fact that you could say "might be pushing followers from Christ by leading a campaign to ban gay marriage". The people who have fallen from "Christ", that demographic are the people in danger for their immortal souls. Not the Christians. So am I to understand that because one group says something is a right. That they are right. Or perhaps like the others that kept slavery legal were they right because a majority of people said so.
And those same people fight against the Boy Scouts and others in the name of some imaginary constitutional issue regarding "separation of church and state" yet they want to infringe on a 12,000 year old religious tradition, called marriage. Evil won't stop until G_D is not taught and is driven from society, and yes I believe some of these groups and their supporters are Evil.
So in conclusion, Marriage is a Religious Institution, and Sodomy is against religious principles. So ergo no gay "marriage". And most of this country still believes what I have said. Not because we are the majority, but because it is G_D's will.
Besides California, New York, and other "Blue States" will not vote Republican anyway so no great loss.
BTW I am a Muslim but this doesn't change a healthy respect and understanding of Christendom.

Realistically, 'rights' and 'regulations' are practically inappropriate thus. the youngster has no technique of implementing any 'rights' he may have less than the regulation, the same reason the regulations must be inappropriate if each and every of the regulation enforcement organizations ceased to operate. The police can't (and could no longer) intervene in view that no offender code violations have befell. Social facilities will call this a non-concern in view that no violence is in touch and they are overwhelmed through authentic situations. I doubt a minor has the flexibility/supplies to sue for any such minor concern. Its on premises owned and managed through the parent, so the regulation provides them some rights in controlling what they enable to happen on the premises. In different words, the youngster has practically 0 recourse.

The majority are evil. Most of the GOP is immoral.
Democracy is a bad Idea. Christians should only vote for the true Christians in the meantime and not just for GOP members.

"Their legislative goals only anger people by taking rights from Americans."
Many states do not allow gay marriage, so you aren't taking a right away from anyone, you're just reinforcing the ban. Clearly, it's not angering that many people if this move on their part gets support.

more and more of our rights are being taken from us. We might as well have a dictator in office, nothing we say means squat anyway. The guys have the say. They have made a mess of things. Time to give women a chance. They can't screw it up any more than what it is .

The Moral majority never been a majority, disagreeing is insulting the american intellegence.
They have broken every christian vow they preached, the most flagrant one their drums supporting KILLINGS, WARS and PEDOPHELIA.

Yes it has. Moral does not exist in there camp. They use the term Moral to rally the ignorant for filthy lucre.

Yeah, I've always wondered that. What's so moral about subjugating your fellow citizens to being second class citizens anyway?
They're neither moral nor a majority.
