Considering this country is "A Nation Under God", I say your point is pretty invalidated. But know one wants to accept or admit that America was indeed founded by Christians...
Discrimination shouldn't happen. But gays getting offended by someone turning them down because of their beliefs isn't discriminating. They're not a race, and turning someone down because of your faith isn't an insult.
But then again, it says that "all men are created equal". So if we are all created equal, then clearly gays are out of the norm, because if we were created all equal, we'd either be all gay or all straight.

Eww, unchristian Christians...

There is nothing in the Constitution that states the country to be one based on Christianity. On the other hand, it goes out it's way to keep religion and government separate (Via the Establishment clause of the First Amendment and the No Religious Test clause). Your point is invalid.

It is not invalidated, because I never said it was a part of the constitution. This country was founded by people who wanted to be free by government rule and to practice their own religion. The King was very specific to just one religion, so it ruled out Christians and other religions as well. Yes, the government is separate from religion, because it was intended for religion to be untouched by governing. But then again, governments forced prayer out of school, and is calling refusal to violate one's beliefs as "discrimination". So I guess that didn't really work out didn't it?

Just calling it what it is. Your point is invalid.

Lol you're so ignorant You do realize, just like the word "gender", has had their definition changed due to political correct people? The definition of discrimination, as well as its legal meaning, was purely about ethnicity. But you're young. One day your brain will grow a little bit bigger.

That's because English is a living language. Words change and develop over time, that's why Latin is used for scientific names, because it's dead. "Gay" used to mean "happy". Now it's synonymous with "homosexual". See how that works? Language and society change over time to better fit the time in which they're in.

Good to know, and your points are still invalid.

America was founded by Deists, not Christians. There's no mention of the Christian God, just a God. As of this, your post completely invalidated.
-
Not true. Most of Britian's immigrants who consisted of the Mayflower's population were indeed Christians. If you look throughout history, while you can say the God is not specified, it is indeed the Christian God, because of the teachings. If you compare their teachings to Christian beliefs, it was completely and totally centered around Christianity. For example, Witches were burned at the stake. Why? Because they were the enemies of Christianity, since they are closely related to Satanists. While this is extreme, this is one of the many things just like adultry which was severely looked down upon by Christian influence
-
"America" was not "founded" by the people of the Mayflower. This is too good.
-
Yes it was. While it wasn't a country of its own, the concept and purpose of it was. They are the ones that colonized it
-
Yes, many Christians lived in the colonies, but the founding fathers were not all Christians. And according to [b][i][u]The Declaration of freaking Independence[/u][/i][/b] if the government becomes destructive to the wellbeing of it's citizens, the government must be altered or abolished.
-
All people who showed up to the Philadelphia convention of 1787 were indeed all Christian.

Ok, and that's great, but in no legal document is America tied to the bible. If citizens of the United States are being discriminated against, it is their duty to have those laws fixed or destroyed.
-
I'm just making a point just calm down plus people are forgetting about true intentions of separation of church and state. Religion is post to stay out of government same goes for government.
-
I didn't say founding fathers, I said founders. The colonists initially started America. The founding fathers just founded the constitution and the country's liberty
