Question about God, and Evolution, and Gay Marriage, and Abortion, and role of Church and State?

Question

Now that I have your attention,

do you feel abortion is a church state issue

do you feel gay marriage is a church state issue

do you feel evolution is a church state issue

Answer 1

Abortion: No, it's a personal issue
Gay Marriage: No, although most state will refuse to grant a license.
Evolution: No, it's a scientific issue

Answer 2

Abortion is a church and a state issue, which both sides seem to take to a ridiculous extreme at times. I think it's an issue of free will, and should not be outlawed, but neither should it be paid for by our tax dollars. Whther you decide to have an abortion or not, It's just one more choice you make in the world and it's one you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Gay marriage is a church issue. Marriage is a religious institution. The government has no business legislating marriage, either way. In fact, with people screaming about separation of church and state all the time, I have to wonder why we have to pay the state for a license to get married???

Evolution has nothing to do with government. It's a religion or science issue. one is not necessarily exclusive of the other. I believe God made the laws that govern the universe. I think both sides need to live and let live because neither side can definitively prove their point.

whether you believe the universe was created by some all powerful being, or you believe it has simply always been, both ideas are equally incredible.

Answer 3

Abortion is a health care issue. The right of a woman to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is a personal decision that only she can arrive at. Health care providers can choose whether or not they will perform abortions as a matter of policy dictated by their boards of directors. America has a free market system with regards to healthcare, and if it is to remain that way, then the decision has nothing to do with the church or the state.

Same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue. The Constitution and Bill of Rights allows equal protection and representation under the law. That law applies to straights and gays. For the state to tell one couple that they can marry but another couple that they cannot simply based on who they choose as their partner is unconscionable, unconstitutional, and baseless discrimination. Marriage licenses are issued by the state. The church has nothing to do with marriage in a contractual sense.

Evolutionary biology is a branch of science. It has nothing to do with church or state. There is nothing more to say.

Answer 4

None of these are church or state issues.

Abortion is a private, personal, difficult decision. It's no body's business except for the woman who has one and the doctor who performs it.

I can marry whomever I wish without government or church intervention. What is so wrong about gay marriage that they aren't afforded this same basic right to love and the pursuit of happiness?

Evolution is a matter of science. As such, it needs to be taught in schools along with biology, chemistry, etc. I don't suppose the day will ever come when church leaders ask their congregation to look a little more closely at it before becoming members of the church-but they should.

Answer 5

1 no 2 no 3 no

Answer 6

already been answered correctly but it all is a resounding yes. I am not for abortion (im also not christian) but it is not my choice i choose to have my children if another woman opts to abort its not me she is harming its herself and thats her choice and it would be more harmful to make it illegal.
on the other hand religions tend to demonize the gay/lezbian /bi/trans community and this hits home for me both me and my mother are bi some of my closest friends are gay and to say we cant marry the person we love is wrong fortunatly for me i fell for the man that is my husband but what about my friend and the one she loves the church cant force who you love or force you to marry someone you hate. Also the church thinks they own the word marriage but pagans have been marrying before christianity exsisted so if a gay couple needed a place to marry there are always ordained pagan preistesses that may be able to assist.
Evolution to force intelligent design into schools is a church state issue it lacks logic as well

Answer 7

NONE are Church State issues..

There should eb a distance between church & states..

The U.S. Constitution prclaimed that state government should not get onvolved with church matters...

You may have heard the cliche' " Theres seperatipon of church and state ?".. not true but its very similar..in the constitution is proclaims:

Congress shall make no laws governing religion or the practices,

I AM A Xtian, and a Published Christian writer. My Belief is:

Abortion is the womans decision.
- personally i think its sin and murder..but I dont make choices
for my brother / sisters in this world.

Remember Hell is promised to the sinner..its their "pay" the Bible says " the wages of sin - is death! wages = payoff.

So if a woman chooses to sin or abort - its between her and God.

Gay Marriage:
Again same as above. The lifestyle is a decision a Gay/or Lesbian will work out with their personal saviour.
Maybe God understands their heart / or perhaps the Gay ppl have a demon spirit possession or childhood influence which triggered a mental state causing their gay' choice and he/she cant help their life-ways.. Again its GAYS Choice..
If its wrong - they'll get the punishment....If not, Ill be happy to see them in heaven - ( If I get their myself ) Im sure God see's many straight' people who are living much worse lifes..,.., IF God understands it - who am i too criticize it. ??

Evolution?

State issue: Darwin admitted on his death bed - that his theeory was BullS&^% !! so there you go,

Answer 8

Abortion is a medical issue & perhaps to some extent a social issue.

Gay Marriage is a Human Rights Issue.

Evolution is a science issue.

Religion should not have anything to do with any of them.

Answer 9

"do you feel abortion is a church state issue"
It's a humanity issue as any other genocide.

"do you feel gay marriage is a church state issue"
Marriage was instituted by God in the Bible. Church issue. All benefits to marriage should have nothing to do with the state--ie tax breaks etc.

"do you feel evolution is a church state issue"
Evolution is bad science treated as legitimate. It does not have to be taught at all. The state is forcing those who do not hold to it to pay for this inappropriate and unnecessary schooling. And then told to pay more for private in order to avoid it. - Discrimation.

Answer 10

i feel that abortion, gay marriage, and evolution is an issue for every Christian and those who are non-Christian. if a church chooses to discuss it....then fine. theres no problem...thats good. but to cause chaos over it...and try to stop gay marriage...that is taking away free will...let people do whatever they please...all u can do is to talk to them...but u cant stop them unless they stop themselves. evolution....its an issue everyone is talking about...churches think its wrong. it is wrong....but the scientists will not listen to us...so we have to let it be. i dont wanna ponder over the same things over and over when we have already established that it is wrong. abortion is wrong absolutely....churches discuss it....because some people just cant figure out if its wrong to have abortion becuz ur only 15 and u dont wanna ruin ur life. they dont know if thats wrong...but they dont wanna give the child to adoption. so it is still in discussion. it is a church issue... as well as everyone elses.
