You cannot force people to agree with the tenets of God. It just doesn't work that way. And if God doesn't try doing that, why should we? However, we are supposed to preach His Name everywhere go and to speak about His unfailing love and eternal law.
We are allowed to vote against gay marriage, especially when the very definition of marriage is required of a man and a woman.
This is absurd. In one sentence you say that Christians cannot force their beliefs on others, and then in the next paragraph you say that Chriastians can prevent homosexuals from marrying? Here's a clue: using your
faiths teachings to restric another's lifestyle through law IS Theocratic! Your point would be valid IF allowing gay marriage forced Christians to marry same sex partners, but it doesn't - it simply allows it for people who obviously don't share the Christian belief that it is wrong.
Do you see the disconnect? Do you see why you're being bigotted and hypocritical?
Theocracy = forcing religious rules on everyone, including non-believers.
Restricting gay marriage = forcing the Christian definition of marriage on those who do not share the same belief.
Since the restriction of gay marriage has literally zero societal benefit other than not meeting the
Christiandefinition of marriage, the restriction of gay marriage is, in fact, a form of Theocratic rule. Remember - the US government is not Christian - it can't be. We have a seperation of church and state so that all faiths and people who have no faith can all be safe and free from persecution and undue restrictions. This means that the state's marriage license is a nonreligious contract, nothing more, and the religious component of marriage is up to the church. Christians can feel perfectly free to refuse to marry homosexuals in their churches, but to make it actually
illegal for them to receive a marriage license is Theocratic.
