While you might think your objection has merit, remember that the
lawmakers of this country have stopped revering God's word, and have
set themselves up as the authority. You would quickly find that
adherence to Biblical principles would be considered old-fashioned,
outmoded, and in violation of anti-discrimination laws. The battle
lines will be drawn, I only hope that when that happens, we all
fast and pray that the glory of God may be revealed.
