Explanation:

Should Obama have Picked Rick Warren for Inauguration?

On January 20, Barack Obama will become the new president of the United States, but the upcoming inauguration is already making headlines. Scheduled to give the invocation speech is evangelical minister Rick Warren, whose comments comparing gay marriage to incest and beastiality have made him a highly controversial figure. Will Obama's choice to ring in the new year unite America, or further fracture an already divided country?

Proud to be a Bible-thumper

You want to know who deserves better? The good people of the United States! The people who have been lied to and decieved by liberals for too many years. Proposition 8 was the one time the tables got turned and real progress was made this election season! So stop your whining, with the new leftist, socialist, moral-lacking president, and his cabinet full of people only slightly better than himself (on average, that is) and our house and senate filled with more left-wingers than we've had the displeasure of seeing in a long time. Our country is headed down the moral tube to the direction of "anything goes" and toward the Canadian realm of not even being able to say that a homosexual lifestyle is wrong without getting slapped with a fine! It's a direct violation of our constitutional rights, but give it until the end of the next four years! I think we're all in for an unpleasant surprise... It's just that some of us won't know how unpleasant it is until it's too late.

  Explain to me what's good and moral about forcing your religion on a group of AMERICANS and keeping civil rights from their otherwise legal relationship? Isn't America all about freedom?

  - No One's Forcing You.
    
    "No One" is forcing you to listen to Christan's or any other person of religion. I'm not a Christan by no means but, I do respect their right to their faith. I do not push my morality toward anyone and I do not expect anyone to force their beliefs or morality upon me. However, when it comes to homosexuals that is where I draw the line. I "DO NOT" believe two men or two women should be allowed to get married and have all the advantages of a regular married couple (Man and Woman). This type of behavior is tearing down the moral fiber of America. If gays
    and Lesbians want to practice their animalistic style of sexual perversion then please return to the closet where it belongs.

    - Really, now?
      
      I'm sorry, but yes, yes you are, and yes, yes they do. You begin by saying that you are not pushing your beliefs on anyone yet you end your paragraph by doing so.
      
      So please, give me a logical argument WHY you should be allowed to force your beliefs on people, why they should not be given the same rights, why their legal relationships should be held to a lower standard, and why this is tearing the moral fiber of America. Explain why you should be allowed to force your beliefs on the private lives of others, and why I should not be able to do the same to you without giving any legal or logical reason.
      
      Go on. I've heard them all before, torn them to pieces, and still people like you refuse to acknowledge reality.
