[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2947768, member: 24302"] Unless you're saying I'm anti-Semitic for believing in Jesus I'm not sure what your point is. I believe in the American system that you have a right to believe, or not believe, as you choose. I also believe we answer to a higher power and as a Christian I must comply with the laws of the land except where they conflict with my Christian beliefs. There was a time in this country where Jim Crow laws excluded people of color from the same rights as Whites. As a Christian I would disagree with those laws and refuse to honor them. And would tell fellow Christians that followed them that they were wrong and I would bear the consequences of doing so. But I do not extend that same belief to what is described in the Bible as immoral acts. They have the right to live that way under the law, but they don't have the right to force me to accept it.
