This is simply false. We are NOT telling anyone how to live. People are free to sin all they like in their private lives. We are working to prevent the Left from forcing US to accept behavior that violates our moral principles, to treat it as normal, to regard something that can't possibly be marriage as marriage, to write it into the law of the land, representing the nation as a whole. If it weren't for the Left trying to cram THEIR moral principles, such as they are, down OUR throats, there wouldn't be an issue here.
Well, this is rubbish.
No-one is denying you your right to live your life according to the primitive taboos and ignorant superstitions of a bunch of deluded savages. They are, however, proposing that your taboos should not be imposed on others by law.
By the way, how's your campaign to criminalize usury going? What, there isn't one? I guess there's only so much hate to go round.

Re: nemesis_juggernaut's moral standard refuted by Haggard ... et al
And it is one thing to talk about the general population of christians and quite another to be a self-appointed spokesperson for higher values based on a faith, and then to have the real personal behavior values exposed that contradict those publically expressed ones.
If he said "we are all sinners and we should not judge the sins of others" then that is one thing, and I would agree with you. He did not do that, he specifically targeted specific behavior and people as immoral and reprehensible ...
... behavior he engaged in ...
... and he claimed to have - and use - a higher standard and values.
Hypocrisy is the latest Christian virtue.
And whited sepulchures are the new black.
