Stop forcing your believes on gay couples and let them do and believe as they please. If you think they are going to hell because of what they do, then thats your right to believe what you want. If you want to follow the Bible strictly, then maybe you should start trying to put gays to death while quoting Leviticus. Or stop eating pork, or touching women who are on their period, or stop allowing bastards into church, and start sacrificing animals.

all that and more.
but here's the real kicker that no evangelical has been able to answer me, yet. subsequently, I wonder if this post will be ignored. but let's just put this out there and see if anyone is actually brave enough to address it:
according to the tenets of free-will in the current dogma of most all american evangelical branches of christianity, it's a given that your deity can not force you to comply to his will. he has to allow you to choose his grace and all that great stuff for salvation.
there is no biblical mandate to force people to obey the code within it.
if there were, why doesn't the deity do so?
why do you feel a moral obligation to force people to not be sinful when your own deity doesn't do it?
