I wasn't trying to state that religion should dictate Government, rather that Government should not dictate religion. Religion has established the concept of marriage as being between a man and a women for centuries before our nation was formed. Government should not try to change that definition.
I'm not against equal rights for all. Their actions are between them and whatever they call God. Hate the sin, not the sinner. Just don't group me in the same classification as those that practice homosexuality. It is NOT the same, never was, never will be.
