"My answer is that because the gift of eternal life was given to me, I am able to do works....I am not saved by any works."

We all do work (good, bad and indifferent), whether we have eternal life or not. I'm asking about "good" work and its meaning in a context without Christ. In this particular case we were talking about Gay people. ... If I am gay (through no choice of my own), am a moral person, respect my neighbor, give to my community... am I still damned? In your (prolife) case, I remain a deviant and so what should happen to me.... Jail, capital punishment.... what?

Bush to Back Gay Marriage Ban

ASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Wednesday will back a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in an attempt to halt same-sex unions like the thousands that have been allowed this month in San Francisco.

"He has always strongly believed that marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

He said the president wants to end "growing confusion" that has arisen from court decisions in Massachusetts, and San Francisco's permitting more than 3,000 same sex unions
