[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 2151445, member: 24536"] All the gay marriage stuff makes you wonder. If the separation of church and state allows for gay marriage in our country why would polygamy be illegal? I am a republican. I am a Christian, I believe that homosexuality is a sin. I believe that people are born born into homosexuality as all people are born into sin. Your sin maybe gambling or drunkeness, it maybe lust or greed or hatred. Sin is sin in the eyes of The Lord, we were all born unclean and into sin. I am an American, I believe that the greatest thing about this country is the freedoms that we enjoy. The greatest of all freedoms is that of religion. You can believe and worship whoever you want. If you like, you do not have to believe in anyone at all. Though as a Christian I view homosexuality as a sin, making it against the law or not granting equal rights would be un-American. I cannot press upon others my views as a Christian. There is not a valid excuse that denies gays the right to wed other than those that are based off of religious teachings. People might say it takes a man and woman to procreate, but if they cannot or chose to not have kids is their marriage less valid? Some might say a child needs a male and female presence in their life, should we take away the kids of single mothers and fathers? So now that you know where I stand on gay rights, why is polygamy illegal? Is it because people do not view it as right or as "sinful." Is it hypocritical to be for gay rights but against polygamy? I am not Morman nor would I like more than one wife (god help me!). But do we have the right as society to persecute those who practice polygamy by their faith? [/QUOTE]
