- This is what I don't understand -- why do some people feel threatened by
- homosexual marriages? It doesn't seem to make sense to me. A lot of
- people see gay men as wimps and sissies. If they truely feel that way
- then why are they threatened? How can you feel threatened by someone you
- consider a wimp (exception is George Bush who is one powerful wimp)?
- If all you are concerned about it "an affront to god" then let god handle
- it. Why do you feel impowered to act as god wrt homosexuality? Where
- does he give you the authority to take any steps against any sinners? Most
- Christians feel that their god's going to take care of all the sinners
- anyway.
