Okay, you vote on homosexuality, and we'll vote on whether your vote matters. I vote "no," since denying other people their free will as a Christian counts as hypocrisy as well as showing a lack of faith in God's ability to make and judge His own without your help.

If I make a stand for or stay neutral on homosexual marriage I take a stand against God. You completely misunderstand the free will given to a person by God. Making a stand against God is not how Christianity nor free will works, I suggest you read the Bible and specifically look for all verses that pertain to free will. You are not the dictator of the U.S., and until you are I will vote my beliefs as my Constitution gives me the right. Why are you so bigoted against Christians right to speak for what they see as good for society.

Let's not digress any farther then.

This subject should not be open to vote, constitutionally speaking. Certain fundamental aspects of the constitution are not open to change via popular vote - which is why the courts have the right to strike down certain changes as unconstitutional - and this subject should be considered as one of them.

I agree it should not, but the gay community is pushing for the vote and the court has no right to make constitutional law.

Voting against it potentially changes the law from secular to religious. As far as the concept of Separation of Church and State is concerned, you really don't have any right. Do you have any secular motives to vote against it? If so, then I'm all ears.

No it does not, I have the right to vote on anything from my POV and you have no right to keep me from it, so I will continue to vote as I see fit. The separation of church and state guarantees me that the state will not interfere in the way I vote. If you do not believe this then you might as well through out separation of church and state, because Thomas Jefferson upheld both of these beliefs.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
