I believe it's wrong to label gay, or any other combination of union

and a perversion of the institution God created.

Ah. I'm afraid I don't find your position convincing, since I'm
an atheist.

You have to admit, the God gambit worked for many years. If you wanted something to be a certain way and you
couldn't present a logical argument, you just said it was the way God wanted it to be. If you disagreed, they
labeled you an apostate.

Based upon what I have been reading here, pretty soon they are going to be saying "that is the way Trump wants
it."

And god, the supernatural was used to explain physical things that science
at the time could not. Half the town got sick and died, it was from god
to punish a witch, so they went looking for one. Now we know it was the
plague, caused by bacteria and the unsanitary living conditions. That
didn't help the witch they burned. That's an example of the bad things
that happen when you believe in things that are unfounded.
