Um.

As a Christian, this offends me to my marrow. Just wanted to let you know.

I'm very disappointed. And no, this is not Christian behavior in my experience.

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

#3 seems oddly out of place.

hahaha, doesn't it?

I think they left out the part where they say "as long as it doesn't go against *our* conscience.

Everyone should have the freedom to agree with me.

Same thing I thought.

Unfortunately, it seems to be typical of what most non-Christians see from the outside.

And don't I know it.

It's embarrassing.

I left the "inside" because of crap like this.

I was going to say that at least there's a tip of the hat to some things, like, "We call on the entire Christian community to resist sexual immorality, and at the same time refrain from disdainful condemnation of those who yield to it."

...but then I realized that saying, "Well, gee, it's better than a 'You're All Going To Hell' petition!" isn't saying much.

I signed it!

I wish I saw more of the good Christian stuff and not this. But this is all I get to see. Maybe it's because the good Christians aren't shoving their religious beliefs in my face? idk.

I still haven't figured out why people give so much of a shit about things that don't affect them. Ah well. I don't think I'll see the day where people will learn to live and let live.

**thumps Bible** They must have missed Sunday School the day of the lesson on Luke 6:42 - hypocrites, motes, beams, etc.

I'm concerned about the state of the American family, too, but how can anyone (with a straight face) state a connection between out-of-wedlock births and gay marriage? Straight people are in no position to talk about the family eroding.

(Disclaimer: I'm straight and married.)
