Bush calls for gay marriage ban
One interesting thing about Christianity, as an aside: there are very, very, very few actual Christians. The vast majority of those who say they are Christian aren't, except in terms of giving lip service to the teachings of Jesus. Christians are those who believe, AND PRACTICE, what Jesus Christ taught, and the main gist of what he taught is absolute pacifism under all circumstances. If you'd vote for a war, any war, for any cause, regardless of how just it might be in your mind, you aren't a Christian. If your mother is being raped, and the only way to prevent it is via some form of violence, and you would do so, you aren't a Christian. If someone was beating you, and intended to kill you, and the only way to prevent your death was to commit violence on the person intending to kill you, and you would do so to save your life, you aren't a Christian. Clearly, there are very few people who believe and practice what Jesus taught. In part, this may because such people often eliminate themselves from the gene pool, by being killed while practicing absolute pacifism. Absolute pacifism is just not a survival trait.
Those who say they are Christian, but who don't actually practice what Christ taught, are nothing more than hypocrites. I admire the concepts of peace and pacifism, and if I ever meet an actual Christian I will tell him or her so. But I will not hold my breath waiting for that to happen; in almost 42 years I have come across a grand total of 0 such people.
