Not everyone in Escambia County are christians. I am pagan. Your bible & your religion have nothing to do with me.There’s a lot more of us Pagans than you think.

After reading every comment, I can’t help but make one myself. First of all I am a sheltered, close minded, in a box, small thinker and using Jesus Christ as a crutch. That helps me be a Christian. I am sheltered by the Most High. I am closed minded to the things of the World by choice because God said to be and I see why. I am in a box because Christ said to stay away from those that do not do his will. I am a small thinker because I don’t want my way, I want His. I lean on Christ because He is the only one to trust. I was not always a Christian, I have lived out there in the world and had little regard for God. I broke every commandment even though I was not trying to go against God, I just didn’t give it a lot of thought. I was just trying to survive. In my heart I knew things were wrong but until I began to read the word (that was inspired by God), I didn’t understand what I was really doing. I am not here to argue with anyone. I do believe homosexuality is wrong because the Bible does say so. You do have a choice to make and it is your God given right. Jesus will never make you do anything he just offers Himself. I am only saying this because I would never want anyone to make a bad choice, if it is stealing, adultery, murder or whatever, it is all sin. I don’t hate anyone no matter what there choice is, I’m just trying to repeat the Bible. You certainly don’t have to believe me or even read the Bible. Christ died for us to have a choice and you are making yours. I do hate sin because God says to, but in no wise do I hate you if you choose to be homosexual, or a murderer, or a thief, or whatever. I group it all together because God does, not me. I love you, Deborah

@ Chris- I guess you missed the part in the Bible about not doing armed robberies/theft/auto theft/ and indecent exposure in public. Heck of a record.

Get over it. Marriage is a civil matter , a license is required, a bible isn’t. All this sky is falling, wringing of hands, Bible quoting, just makes Pensacola seem like a backward, small minded southern town of decades ago. It’s embarrassing.

“The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government.” – Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice appointed by James Madison.

@Chris in Molino,
No, I’m not crazy, nor am I perverting the Bible.
We have no idea what was in the minds of the writers of the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence other than what they wrote in those documents. Since they wrote that all men were equal, we have to think that is what they meant. Considering that homosexuality was around for thousands of years before their existence, it is very possible that they thought such an issue would arise. It is not up to you or I to try to read the minds and intentions of those who passed long before we can’t into the picture.

As for the Bible quotes, I’m not concerned with those from the Old Testament since we are told in the Bible that after Jesus, we are to follow the NEW Testament. Jesus told us that His greatest command was to love thy brother.

The Lord settles his own scores, of that I have no doubt.

As far as St Matthew’s comments on the blood flowing to the horse’s bridal, I doubt if it gets much over knee deep.
