re: Are all the objections to same-sex marriage religious?
My Methodist Church welcomes Homosexuals. Yes, most churchs view Homosexuality as a sin, but like I said yesterday, we are all sinners and no sin is worse than another. So someone’s sin of being gay is no worse than any sin I commit. If the church cast out a member for sinning, then there would be no members in the church.
The Methodist church also realizes Jesus would welcome gays, for he loves all of us sinners.
So gays are welcome in my church.
As for marriage. Most Christians I know do not have a problem with a legal Civil Union for Homosexuals.
