There's a few things that Wattree doesn't understand. 1) Judging is NOT left solely up to God. There are several places in the bible where we are to judge. In fact, the most misquoted scripture in the bible is in Matthew where it says:
[quote]Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matt 7:1-5[/quote]
We are to judge, but not hypocritically! People stop at the first verse while the rest is ignored.
2) Wattree also doesn't understand that by legislating immorality such as homosexuality, that opens the door for Christians to be persecuted for "hate crimes" since homosexuality would be deemed as "okay." That's already happening in some states - even the bible is being considered as hate literature. Gays have taken their lifestyle from beyond the bedroom to the public arena. If they truly want to be left alone to do what they do in privacy, then it should have been left as private. But now Americans are being forced to deal with it publically! That's why it is now OUR BUSINESS!
3) Dr. Carr is correct that the Constitution is based upon Judeo-Christian ethics and if the writers of the constitution could have looked into the future and seen marriage as we know it would be under fire, I'm sure some kind of provision would have been made declaration of marriage between a man and a woman
Bottom line? Marriage is ALL of our business and we have to do something to preserve it for male/female unions!
