Views on the Death Penalty? (a poll)

Oh, were you referring to his video about animals being gay?

No... I was referring to the link I posted here:

... and you're ok with a good percentage of the population being slighted that way?  That's something you follow by choice?

These antiquated beliefs that you and others hold make me very very sad.

How do you feel about the story/video Atheist BG posted?

Why would I ask you a question like that without posting the link? That'd be silly.

My apologies.

I saw the post and watched the video. I don't agree with the woman who refuses to give them a license. She works for the government, and it's her job to provide marriage licenses to couple's who come in. If doing so goes against her convictions, then she should look for another job. It's like a vegan cashier at Walmart refusing to ring up animal products for customers who come through her line. The cashier can have whatever beliefs she wants, but if she does not want to ring up all the items a customer brings her, then she should open up her own private grocery store or get a different job.

Very true.

But we believe we are called to try to act beyond our natural inclinations at times.

Which would be fine if that's the whole package. Unfortunately, these beliefs also call for the denial of natural "inclinations"; or worse, that people act contrary to them - in essence, criminalising human nature.

To be fair, I am sure there are "natural inclinations" that you too believe to be immoral to act on. They just aren't all the same ones as me.
