I am a Christian and those beliefs are not in-line with mine. IMO, religion is the primary cause for all war and terrorism throughout the world and I think that ALL fanatics regardless of religion are responsible. I think everyone needs to chill out to be honest with you.

I really feel that gay people are born that way and they should have the right to be married to a partner and share all of the legal benefits. If being gay is indeed something a person is born into and not a personal choice, then how can it be an abomination like many Christian fanatics say? They are human beings born into a situation that they can not control. Just like being born white, black, female, male and so on. What would happen if you had a gay son or grandson? Would you look them in the face and say you voted against their happiness and equal rights? I understand if you don't want to go out of your way to support gays and lesbians, that is your right, but why go to the polls just to deny them their happiness?
