Because murder and drug dealing affect other members of society. The two examples zgendron brought up affect only those individuals directly involved.

And in general I have a problem with legislation based solely on the teachings of the Bible, as should anyone who thinks that the separation of church & state was a prime intent of the founding fathers. If we're going to vote for issues based on what the Bible says, why not just declare the US a theocracy and be done with it? Furthermore, what if my religion says nothing about the issues mentioned? Why should your religion reign superior?

I have no problem with opinions that differ from mine. It's where these opinions come from (as it pertains to making laws) that I have a problem with.
