The issue I have mixing religion and politics is that religion chokes political debate.
Want to know what is the "correct" position on an issue? Just do what T_Samner has done here -- quote some scripture. Bang, it's done. Homosexuality is bad.
Now, that is not to say that Scripture is not open for interpretation, it is. But that is a
religious debate, not a political debate.
If you want to argue that homosexuality is bad in a moral context, that is your right, and we have a right to hear your voice. That's what democratic debate is all about. But speak to us, give us your reasons. Don't just quote some ancient text that some might believe in, others not.
