[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a black, 40-something year old Christian woman (moderate) and this pisses me off. The government shouldn't legislate morality, and the church shouldn't tell me how to vote. Separation of church and state is critical for a reason.

Let people marry who they want to marry under contractual law so they can have the benefits. Let people love who they want to love and hate who they want to hate.

Leave the judging of the moral acts and "sins" of the world to God, and each person's understanding of God.  Leave the governance of our administration's resources in this country and the protection of our civil liberties to government.

Why don't more people object with an argument that this is NOT a separation of church and state?

[b]Look there is no Christian denomination that supports gay marriage, just[/b] go be another religion. Same with Islam they don't support it either. What's the shock here [/quote]

You are wrong and ignorant, PP. Easily fact checked.

Several Christian denominations support gay marriage. These include:

- Episcopal Church (United States): Officially supports same-sex marriage, allowing clergy to perform and bless these unions since 2015.
- Presbyterian Church (USA): Permits same-sex marriages, with clergy able to officiate since 2014, following a change in its constitution.
- Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA): Supports same-sex marriage, allowing pastors to officiate since 2009, with formal rites adopted later.
- United Church of Christ (UCC): Endorsed same-sex marriage in 2005, encouraging clergy to officiate and advocate for legal recognition.
- Metropolitan Community Church (MCC): Founded with a focus on LGBTQ+ inclusion, it has performed same-sex marriages since its inception in 1968.
- Quakers (some branches): Certain Quaker meetings, particularly in liberal regions like the U.S. and U.K., support and celebrate same-sex marriages.
- Unitarian Universalist Association: While not exclusively Christian, many congregations include Christian members and fully support same-sex marriage.

Those are not Christian base churches they are offshoots of the religion.

Again whatever you want to do that's fine but don't make up a religion, how about claiming to be Christian Church but worship trees and objects e.g. Unitarian universalists. Just be atheist it's fine. [/quote]
