How can Christains call themselves compassionate indivudauls when you refuse to let other people to live free and happy lives? You slam them down and oppress thier freedom to choose. I remember the words, Life, Liberty And the pursuit of Happiness. By denying these people thier basic freedom to choose and to live a happy life, you earn yourselfs no respect, and worse, you become no better than an oppressive, burdeonsome group that is no better than the KKK or the American Fasict party.
