government

I believe as a Christian that societies are not the ones who create law. As Christians we believe that God is the ultimate law giver and that in the beginning he set up the rules. He established laws for his creation in order to show them what he wants from them and for them as his followers. They also serve the purpose of reflecting upon the character of God, in that we can look at the laws He has established and in turn see characteristics of who he is and what He wants. As far as Christianity goes, I believe that societies do not create laws, but as for Sarah, seeing that she has a secular humanist worldview, it would be logical for her to believe that societies are the only form of law giver since they are against the belief of a divine power.

Feminity

Since the beginning women have been designed with the job of completing the man because God saw that He himself could not meet mans physical needs.She was put in place to serve as a comforter and nurturer, a figure that would complete all of mans needs and serve as his partner. She is a defensive warrior over her children and takes care of the household while the man is still responsible for the household as a whole larger unit.

Church and Homophobia

I do agree that some people are hostile and negative towards homosexuals, but i would completely disagree with the idea that the Bible teaches us to reject them or be afraid of them in any way. We are told to first and foremost love God with everything we have,and the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor. This applies to everybody and does not in any way exclude homosexuals. While the Bible disapproves of the lifestyle that they live, we are still to love and care for them so that they can see the lve of God through his servants. it is perfectly possible to love someone while still disagreeing with them. Homosexuality is a sin like any other and shouldnt be hated the way it is so much today. I find it rediculous that a person has enough hate within them to shun and mock someone simply because of a differing lifestyle. Hatred like that is not a good example of Christ's love at all and if anything gives evidence for those that call Christians hateful hypocrits. Homosexuals are people just like you and I and are every bit as much deserving of God's love through his followers.
