Well, um... they kind of do. If they have the nasty butt sex in public, they'll be arrested for lewd behavior.
It was also about protecting people from a state religion. Good thing, too, because the last thing we wanted is what they had in England for centuries, of a new prayer book every time you got a new monarch.
Oh, the first amendment says Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion. Separation of Church and State.
Okay, I wasn't going to do this... but let's look at the OLD Testament on slavery. God loves him some slavery... until he didn't.
Bible stories that show God's approval of slavery:
God blessed Abraham by giving him lots of slaves ("servants" in the KJV), insisting that all the male slaves be circumscised.
When Sarah's slave Hagar flees from Sarah who is mistreating her (with Abraham's blessing), God sends an angel to tell her to go back to her abusive owner.
Abraham's favorite son Isaac was also a proud slave owner. You can tell how great he was by how many slaves he owned.
God cursed the Gibeonites to be slaves of the Jews forever.
Rules for slave owners from the Hebrew Scriptures:
I don't have to prove the homophobic little twat "hates" anyone.
There's a law.
He broke it.
Done.

We’ll, in that regard, everyone has to practice their sexuality behind closed doors. You are apparently suggesting that religious people must keep their religion to themselves and they can’t freely exercise their cotus protected rights, so if that’s the case, the gay people should keep their lifestyle to themselves and not freely be open about it, right? I mean, why would one group be allowed to have their freedom and not another ?
Oh, the first amendment says Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion. Separation of Church and State.
Exactly, the government can’t enact a national religion. It also can’t prohibit the free exercise of religion. That does not mean religion can’t be in government, and it also means that government can’t make laws to force someone to violate their religious beliefs.
Your posting of the Bible quotes shows that people of that time owned servants, but my point was is that the Bible doesn’t teach that you have to own slaves as part of its religion.

There you go again, calling him homophobic. You have no idea if he is homophonic or not, you just assume he is because he is exercising his religious observations. As has been said many times, he never refused to do business with those people, he just wouldn’t do an act that would have been considered his participation in their celebrations.
You do realize that not everyone who refuses to do something is doing so because they hate that thing?
