A proper understanding of the religious position is necessary if a real debate is to take place prior to the destruction of a 5,000-year-old institution by a minority of citizens, against the will of the majority.

And that would be impossible without Paul's letter to the Romans. For example, Paul explains his view on the evolution/creation debate in the first chapter of Romans: 1:18-20

He then admonishes man for violating the 1st (commandment). 1:21-22

And because of that, Paul says "God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie...Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another...he gave them over to a depraved mine to do what ought not to be done." 1:24-28

Paul then described the USA as it exists today. If Paul's words applied to the Romans and the USA fits his description in the 1st century, then one could make the flippant argument that homosexuality will cause global warming.

The 1st Amendment is there to protect the will of the majority, but it is not there so that the majority can impose their will on the minority. Nor can the minority impose their views on the majority.

"Nor can the minority impose their views on the majority."


This religious battle is about replacing the "giver" of "RIGHTS" from the Creator to the "STATE". Secularism is a religion, and their "gods" are they themselves, they believe they are "gods".

That foundation that "Rights given by the Creator no man/state can take or give" is what separates this nation from all other nations.

This is the foundation that secularist are in the process of destroying.
