I think you summed it up pretty well..........I'm not rabidly anti-gay marriage, probably more "evolving" on the issue like our president....and my feelings on the issue have little to do with my faith but they do align to some extent....they are more to do with the fact that I've never seen anything to convinvince me that a+a or b+b = a+b.....my pause on the subject is that I simply don't or can't to this point, see the two as the same.....I do think it's obvious that many who feel this way have thown up their hands and said "just let them get married....I'm sick of hearing about it" helping along Spence's "public opinion vector" to some extent
I should note that due to the nature of my business I'm pretty confident that I've spent more time working and talking with gay singles and couples over the last 25 years that most of you combined...
I think there is both acceptance an accomodation that is possible without forever changing the most basic and fundamental arrangement from both evolutionary and creationist "common sense perspective"....
from experience...just as Spence pointed out that certain Christians are those out "protesting" the issue and others who might be like minded are silent or even fearful...I also think most homosexual folks are currently living their lives as they choose, enjoying freedom.... and probably don't like being defined by the more vocal activists and proponents

Good post. Bu tthi sissue that I posted about here is not about gay marriage. It's about whether or not Christians have the right to exist in the public square.
If Mitt Romney wants to be President, here's what he should say to Obama in a debate..."Mr President, your former chief of staff is telling Christians that they are not welcome to open businesses in Chicago. Is he correct?"
That puts Obama in a true no-win situation. No escape.
