There are plenty of Christian based reasons (including Biblical references) that, together with placing much of what's written in the historical and cultural context of the time, to just accept people and their ways of being, just as they are.
Anyway, you haven't been alone on that spiritual journey that you describe so well.
Ludwig - You put that really well too.
Cornflower - Can you tell me if I get the gist of your last post properly. Are you making the point that, if marriage for gays is legalized and all, that some might want to get married in a church. If that church is opposed (as most are), then there'd be a legal case for discrimination? Have I understood that properly? If so, I don't know what the answer to that would be. Maybe someone else would be able to say whether or not that would be a risk for churches and the like. I just don't know.
