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?

I don't see how that is that hard to answer. They think that society is better living non-sinful life. Also, just because someone has to choose their own salvation, doesn't mean that they cannot be guided.
Now, I have a couple of questions:
What is wrong with someone using the tenets of the Bible as their moral code? If someone has the same beliefs, but they didn't come from the Bible would they be any more/less valid?
Also, I define homosexuality as the ACT of people of the same sex having physical relations. Why should that act gain special status over any other behavior someone chooses? And if it is fine, why not polygamy, or get rid of age of concent laws?
