jhild, I didn't exactly say that I wouldn't hire a homosexual in my home. I would indeed hire one if I felt like it. But if I was choosing between, for instance, a relative and a homosexual, I don't want the government getting the power to punish me for making a choice that somebody else could attempt to claim was discriminitory.
Obviously also, I very much believe that in the privacy of my personal home, I can hire or fire whoever, for whatever I feel like it, without the government getting attempting to turn the place into another witch hunt. There are already altogether way too many powerful government agencies that can, with the spagetti code of laws we have already, and at the whim of a government employee, literally destroy someones business that they spent 10 years and more building. We don't need more senseless abuses of government power.
Jesus said to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Caesar coins the money and provides public works projects, defends the country against new invaders, etc. Jesus wasn't afraid of Caesar, but rendered to him what was due him. Jesus taught and preached personal morality very powerfully, and with great authority, and he paid little attention to whether or not Caesar personally approved of his teachings. |
