Religion, Secularism and Homosexuality

[Eric the Green]

Quote: (Radind) I don't have homophobia. You do like labels and you make too many assumptions about others. My concern  for people is based on a Biblical worldview and I have never said anything about 'repelled'.  The shooter was absolutely wrong and committed an evil act. 

You are repelled by the idea of gays getting married. According to your post, you consider this an attempt to change or defy the nature of humans.

Quote:We do have a different worldview and it is my contention that a Biblical  worldview is needed for a Christian worldview. I don't have any silver bullets to convince you and there are already millions of articles and thousands of books on this subject. No amount of information is likely to cause any change( and I never expected you to change).

Not likely, because it is incorrect. A Biblical worldview differs depending on how the Bible is interpreted. You don't have any right to claim that your intepretation is "the Biblical worldview."

Quote:It is quite clear to me  that the secularists are in the majority and the courts will pass whatever laws they want. I fully realize that I cannot change this. I just don't have to agree with what the secularist majority imposes. I am still convinced based on barna.org and my observations that the per-centage in US with a Biblical worldview is ~ 10%. 
In my opinion the US is in a similar situation as 1930's Germany as described by Bonhoeffer.

Barna is not valid.

If the US is in a similar situation as Germany in 1930, it is because of the fundamentalist (barna-like) Christians and the economic libertarians. They want to impose their worldviews on everyone, and have kidnapped the Republican Party and the Congress through gerrymandering and money-based politics, in order to accomplish this aim. Now they want to make the xenophobic Mussolini-reincarnate our president.

Quote:My concern  : Will there be any tolerance in the future for Christian values?

Will there be any tolerance in the future for socialist, greenpeace, or hippie/new age/counter-cultural values?

You have shown me zero evidence of any desire by "secularists" to not tolerate Christian values. You are free to oppose abortion and gay marriage, and that's as it should be.

Can you quote me anyone who says people like you should NOT be allowed to oppose abortion and gay marriage?

You can't.
