Wagner >a confessional Lutheran. The anti-discrimination laws are only supporting sin as defined by one group of Christians. The civil law is not failing to reflect God's law, rather it is failing to reflect one group's interpretation of God's law. I thank God I live in a nation where I am not subjected to the tyranny of one group's definition of morality legislated into law. I pray to God that this will not change. I love all my Christian brethren but I do not wish to submit to the tyranny imposed by some of my Christian brethren. Maybe, it is time (as David jokingly put it) for some of these would be tyrants to move to a different neighborhood. NO, now I am only joking. Insert obligatory ":-) :-)" here. -Jeff Fields
