Herman Cain: Homosexuality Is a ‘Sin’ and a ‘Choice’

Herman Cain: Homosexuality Is a ‘Sin’ and a ‘Choice’Presidential contender and former Godfather’s Pizza executive Herman Cain was clear and concise when addressing his views on homosexuality. TMP has more:

Fresh off his keynote speech at the Faith And Freedom Conference in Washington last weekend, Herman Cain took a socially conservative hard-line stance on sexual orientation in an interview with CBS News.

“I believe homosexuality is a sin because I’m a Bible-believing Christian, I believe it’s a sin,” Cain said, adding, “I believe it is a choice.”

On the flip side, earlier this week we covered former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and his cautiousness when discussing his faith and the Mormon Church’s stance on gay marriage and homosexuality.

You can watch Cain’s comments in the CBS News clip below:

    homosexuality is a sin and choice ! well said!
    these people a cowards to strike relationship with opposite sex….it is a mental DISORDER !
    anyone can spot a lesbian or pederasta (gay) no matter how much they hide it ….there is something in their behavior that is different …..not normal………and most of these people are in our Govenment making rediculous decision …therefore our country is in a toilet…the gays do not understand that once islam or china takes over they will be eliminated….just like hitler did….false promises until he got power than he start killing all the gays and lesbians that he pretended to support !
    gays should learn something form the history!

      I don’t think that sexuality is a choice, but I know that religion is. If your religion tells you that God would punish people for something that they can’t help wanting, that brings them comfort and joy, that doesn’t harm anyone, and without which their lives would be incomplete, then you should choose a different one.

      You make a good point here. the gays should support Herman exactly because he says what he believes. They can take solice in the fact that although they will not recieve SPECIAL rights under Cains leadership they will recieve EQUAL rights. The most interesting thing I noticed about the negative posts on this story was how quickly the libs turned on herman with such vitreol. He didnt say he hated homosexuals, only that he believed the life style was a sin. Are we no longer entitled to our opinion. If there was a breed of dog that could not reproduce itself its species would only last one generation. Without the aid of technology and the immoral practice of surrogates the gays would only last one generation also. I dont believe thats what God had in mind when he said“ Go forth and multiply”.Ttherefore , does it not stand to reason that homosexuality is if not a sin, certainely a freak of nature. just sayin.

      Painesman “Without the aid of technology and the immoral practice of surrogates the gays would only last one generation also.”

      Well that’s only true if you are born that way, which makes it not a choice or something you should blame people for. So, in your inability to form a coherent and self-consistent argument you accidentally spoke the truth – Herman Cain is wrong, and prejudice against homosexuality is irrational.

      So let me understand what you are saying… Because someone believes something you do not they can’t be objective and don’t have common since? That is one weak argument. You do know that your own argument could be used vice versa… don’t you? Anyways like PerniciousD I agree that Cain was wrong to use his political platform as an opportunity to condemn a group of citizens of this county. That is a matter for God to deal with. He is running for president and the president is supposed to be a representative of the people. Does separation of church and state ring a bell?

      I agree with him, and I am smart. I associate with a lot of smart people who also agree with him. You want to be “objective”? Even aside from the moral questions, sexual intercourse, sexual attraction, and the complementary genitalia of the sexes all have an obvious biological purpose. The urge to imitate intercourse with a person of the same sex is an obvious dysfunction. It is as if you had an irresistible urge to eat by stuffing your food in your ear. I’m not Catholic, but I like the way that the Catholic Church describes homosexuality as “objectively disordered.” It clearly is.

    I like Herman Cain. I respect the way he holds his opinions and beliefs in a strong manner. I just wish he would become more tactful in his replies and think his positions through that allow him to appeal to more voters. The Gay Rights thing is something that could be back burnered right now and refocused to the problem of the economy and how to win this election. Polarizing on such a hot topic is not a good move. Why not say something to the effect that “I have strong Christian beliefs on the subject and I am taught to love thy neighbor. Whether right or wrong, the states should be able to uphold their own definition of what is appropriate for them. Right now on a national scale, I want to give the heterosexual, homosexual, bi sexau, a sexual, and non-sexual a country that provides jobs and a flourishing economy so they may provide for themselves and get the throngs of government out of their lives.

      I perceive that you or either a Jew or have studied Judaism and Jewish culture and history. The points that you raise are well founded and Scriptual. In order for Jesus to be the “Christ” the “Messiah” or “King of the Jews”, naturally He has to be a Jew and of the Royal blood line of Judah. Jesus did meet these requirements from his Mother Mary and Step Father, Joseph. Both were of the Tribe of Judah. Jesus the Jew said to the Samaritan woman who came to draw water fom Jacob’s Well in John 4:22, ” Ye worship ye know not what; for salvation is of the Jews “.

      Christian salvation comes through God’s grace and by faith in His eternal salvation plan. Saving faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD OF GOD. The Word of God comes through divine inspiration. The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, was written and preserved by God inspired Jews (the New Testament being written by Jews converted to Christianity). So, salvation is of the Jews who gave us the Holy Scriptures and the Saviour, Jesus Christ, the proclaimed Son of David, Messiah and the King of the Jews.

    Yes, he came right out and said it – he usually doesn’t try to play games like most politicians…while Mitt didn’t, knowing how controversial it is & may cause him problems. As to the subject at hand – sigh…. as a Christian, my belief is if he meant it is a choice to engage in that act, yes, it is a sin. I think, for the most part, people ARE born that way – as a type of generational curse passed down through the family lines – started as stated in Romans 1. It’s a type of genetic “defect”, not normal, but this does not make it an excuse to engage in it. Not a sin if you just simply have those abnormal “preferences”….the same as heteros – it’s not a sin to have normal preferences of opposite sex, only when you commit it outside marriage, adultery. Sadly, many Christians don’t teach it that way & I think it’s been extremely harmful. They jump to the conclusion that if that is the case, then that somehow excuses them – no. God expects self-discipline & like everyone, to come to Him to be “healed” and to deal with problems successfully. Most don’t. Everyone is born with some kind of defect/generational “curses” which are inherited – like propensities to certain diseases, alcoholism, mental problems, addictive personalities, etc. It doesn’t matter re gay rights bc gays would still want what they think are “equal rights” & a huge issue causing trouble.

    Homosexuality is defined by sex. In other words, it is defined by a perverted sexual act. Were sex not involved the relationship could not be considered homosexual. It would, for example, be a friendship like most other relationships between folks of the same sex. On the other hand, heterosexuality is defined by God. May God’s love and mercy shine like a rainbow on our brothers and sisters struggling with sexual addiction and perversion.

      Agree with Tom – as a Christian the saying “love the sinner, hate the sin” comes to mind. I wish more Christians would show love towards others. I think that’s one reason why the church in general is losing the gay marriage debate, because the church itself by it’s members actions has lost some of its humanity and compassion. Many Christians openly have no problems with calling arabs animals or less than human, and I find the behavior disgusting. Christ is love, compassion and truth.

      Listening to Glenn today, he was talking about the ..okay we’ll never agree on everything but if we can agree on 8 out of 10, then we can work together to effect change… so the question is, does my belief that homosexuality is not a sin and not usually a choice, mean that I will not vote for Herman Cain?

      If I can agree on 8 out of 10 major points with him (or that type of ratio).
      If he will not allow the government to discriminate against or even go so far as to persecute me based on my sexuality I can certainly live with and even celebrate a President Cain especially if the alternative is a President Obama

      Having said that, I’ll be looking closely at all the candidates including Romney (but he’s way too liberal for me).

      How do you consider yourself a conservative? A conservative would be true to the construction of an ideology. I.E. a judge would be a strict constitutional constructionalist. Meaning that a judge rules by the law, not makes a law by his ruling. By not at least living by a moral code, you are spitting in the face of true conservatives who KNOW what their role in society is and what part gender and sexuality plays. Adam and Steve can’t make a baby. Megan and Eve can’t make a baby. Is this starting to make sense? Herman Cain, and any REAL conservative do not care what you think. The ball is in your court. Should you understand that you and your perverted sense of self importance do not mean ANYTHING to anyone but you than you are welcome to join in and contribute. Until then, you just need to think about your life.

      @Mikermc….I think maybe you are mixing up emotions here. There is a wide gulf between DESIRE and Choice. If you believe and follow Christ, Your Hearts desire’s will change…therefore you will begin to make the choice Christ would have you make. Christ said that “its not what man puts into his body that defiles him; its what proceeds from his heart that defiles him, (DESIRE) Remember that Jesus also said that what ever the heart desires the mouth shall speak it. Over and over again, the Bible makes it clear that once you believe, you must confess, or speak, the thing that you believe. Even in being saved, we follow the process of believing in our heart, and confessing with our mouth. Notice Romans 10:8-10, “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” God bless.

You are free to choose all things in your life, and you are responsible for ALL your choices. I cannot and do not control you or your actions, I am merely able to let you know what God has to say on the subject. After that it is all up to you.
      That is all Herman Cain is saying. Should you choose to accept Christ as your savior, accept responsibility for ALL of your actions and repent, things can change for you. The ball is in, and always has been in your court. No one can make that decision for you….or should they.

      There! Islesfordian got it exactly right. Homosexuality is the physical attraction to the same sex instead of the opposite sex. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. People have no control over their other arbitrary physical traits like height or eye color, so why would they have any control over their sexual orientation? What they DO have control over is what they do with it. If you behave in a modest, civilized fashion, then being gay should not be a problem. If you act like a flaming weirdo and go parading in the streets with giant billboards advertising that your’e gay, then that’s different. Hold people accountable for their conscious choices and nothing more.

      Everyone will find themselves faced with one tendency or another. Many face the tendency to anger quickly. Others find it difficult to accept people of different race, faith, or origin. Some struggle with controlling their desires for those of the opposite gender, while some struggle with controlling their desires for those of the same gender. Ether 12:27 “And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.” Homosexuality is a struggle, and through the Lord can that burden be lightened. Just like it is important for us to remove anger from our lives and control our passions and appetites, it is important for us to control all forms of tendencies that are not of God.

Just as alcoholism is NOT a disease, homosexuality is NOT genetic. God created Adam and Eve to be perfect. it is because of sin that people choose the unnatural over the natural (Romans 1:24-27). I believe you commented that the majority of Americans believe homosexuality is a choice. Well in a way they are right.

      REVERE1 how can you make such a vapid comment? There are 5 states in America where they realize who you marry is none of the governments business. In other words same sex marriage and/or civil unions is legal in 5 states. In 5 states the government is not in your bedroom spying on who you are sleeping with and the government in 5 states upholds the US Constitution by not discriminating against someone based on their sexual preferences. And guess which state is one of them? I’ll give you a hint. You mention it in your comment………… Times up. Have you guessed which one it is? No sorry it’s IOWA. The Supreme Court of Iowa struck down the DOMA of Iowa in a unanimous decision that declared DOMA to be unconstitutional. Some other gay marriage information that you might find interesting. In Brazil, the country with the LARGEST Catholic population in the world, same-sex civil unions were legalized by a vote of 10-0 by the Brazilian Supreme Court. In Ireland, both Northern and The Republic of, two more countries with large Catholic populations, same sex civil unions are legal. So if you think Cain’s stance on same sex marriage and gays in general will help him in Iowa you should turn off Faux and educate yourself.

      Well, if you want to get your morality from the Old Testament then you’d better not eat shellfish (Lev. 10:10), or have contact with a woman during her period (Lev. 15:19-24). On the other hand it is okay to sell your daughter into slavery (Exodus 21:7) or buy slaves from a neighboring country.

      Please everybody and anybody, don’t start using the Old Testament as your source of morality. For every injunction you find that fits your beliefs, you’ll find another that you violate once a week for which the Old Testament punishment is death. Don’t even try. Stick with the words of Christ, or be a hypocrite.

      Kook may be right about Cain and Weiner (but not Palin and pretty much nothing else I’ve ever heard him say for that matter). But getting back to Cain the problem here is what your definition of homosexuality is. And it is a shame that the media is probably going to crucify a very good candidate simply because he wasn’t aware of the subtle nuances of the subject. For if homosexuality means that you are sexually aroused by someone of the same sex, then no homosexuality is not a sin. There’s not a whole lot you can do about the things that turn you on except go into extensive therapy and/or prayer to try to change it. However, if you act on it and have sexual relations with members of the same sex then yes it is a choice and yes it is a sin.

      For the record then, there are two types of homosexuals, those that act on it and those that don’t. Cain was likely referring to the second type, not the first, and there is a big difference. For simply having homosexual desires is no more a sin than any of the other perverse desires and temptations we may all have during any given day. The sin comes in when we cultivate our perverse desires and treat them as normal.

      This is clearly what Cain was referring to and regrettably did not clarify. End result – he may be toast if he doesn’t engage in some major damage control. Hope he does.

      Not so much a choice, but more of a series of choices (JMO), combined with negative social factors. Example: Not to many folks decide to be a heroin addict, and live on the steets (who in the world would chose that life style?). Billy decides to skip school one day with is buds, and they steal some cigaretes, smoke them and get that first cigarete buzz. A year latter, he is skipping more, and as a young teen, he is drinking alcohol. By sixteen, he is smoking marijuana, and has dropped out of school completely. Ten years later, he is living on the streets, and shooting smack into his arm. No, he did not wake up one day at age 13 and say “I think I will become a heroin addict”. Series of bad choices led him there. Homosexuality is very similar. Negative factores growing up, like no strong male role model, overbearing mother, getting molested…. along with living a lifestyle that goes against Biblical truth. Not one choice, but a series of choices. The good news, is that just like any other sin, there is forgiveness, and there is redemption. Hate the sin, but love the sinner. there is a reason that homosexuals have such a high suicide rate, high drug and alcohol abuse rates, much lower life expectency, high STD rates….. They are sick, and unhappy people. Why do you think so much of the gay lifestyle is so flamboyant? They are trying to cover up the the mysery.

      Darn. herman the day you make me agree with captkook is the day we part. I know too many gay people to think this way. I would have supported you otherwise. Sorry folks, it’s genetic. Yes they then live like a bunch of horny schoolboys left alone with the girls. That is where the sin is. I don’t care if a person is gay. I am personally revulsed by two men kissing but as long as they are a real couple then i don’t care. It’s when they flaunt sexuality like a party favor that is a sin and should be shunned but that happens for all sexes. The bible says many things and we seem to interpret it as we please and forget where that bible came from. All religions think their holy book came straight from gods mouth. Are we really so stupid that we think that no man with nefarious intent ever had a say in what words were recorded there? Henry the 8th and others split the religion in half at the time. Use your heads and decipher that book for the real and the fake. If the bible does forbid something that is genetically happening then i’m sorry it does not mean to kill all the gays or to enslave them against the nature of what they are. It means that if you are not gay then you do not do those things because it is against your nature. Find the cause, make a pill to take during pregnancy and end the problem then suffer being called a euginic nazi for a while. But really.. enough of this sillyness.

Maybe people are so caught up in interpreting the Bible that they don’t believe in the Holy Spirit anymore. Well, Jesus told the harlot to REPENT (sin no more). That‘s what most of America’s church’s are leaving out: Repentance. It is the first step. Laodicea is what the American view on God and following Him.

      17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

      I hate this answer…..” Homosexuality Is a ‘Choice ” .. without the fallow up question

      ………………………………….DID YOU CHOOSE NOT to be a Homosexual ??? ………………………

      I mean really, lets see……. ennee …meaney… miney ….mo…. out goes … Y…O …YOU
      You cannot ““ CHOOSE ”” something without considering wanting to try it.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      sorry if i offended anyone, i have nothing against anyone’s private life, in fact i have met 3 people who have engaged in Homosexuality and found 2 basic reasons

      …1….. they tried to be Heterosexual but found that they were living a lie, or they never wanted to be anything but Homosexual.

      …2…. they were Sexualy confused….<—- these two people were both Suicidal, one guy said in a meeting that even after 5 years of Sobriety he found himself sitting on the edge of his bed with a Gun to his head. He also said it that meeting that he had a lot of $ex while he was drinking and many of his partners were Women …..lol …. so i guess this guy has a right to say he " CHOOSE "
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      And as far as '' SIN "goes …well do you use a " CONTRACEPTIVE " to avoid a Pregnancy ( i have )
      and didn't god want us to Multiply ? So is it not Perverted to Pleasure yourself ?
      " He Without Sin "
      ““““`
      O great!! i just thought about Bisexuals

      I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years experience and an Evangelical Christian. I am not certain that homosexual attraction is a choice at all. Some people have their sexuality altered or misshaped by child abuse or rape. That is not thier fault. Some people hold an early and lasting sexual attraction to people of the same gender. That is not a choice.

      Sexual behavior that is not coerced is ALWAYS a choice. God says that sex outside of marriage, a marriage between a man and a woman in fact, is sinful. That settles that! At the same time, Jesus said that if a man so much as looks at a woman with lust in his heart he is guilty of sin. Rats, that includes me big time. So I , like you, like people who have homosexual sex, are sexual sinners. We all need God’s forgiveness, and NONE of us are good enough to look down on anyone else. Now God tells me to avoid habitual sin, and being a Christian and engaging in proscribed sexual behaviors as a lifestyle is certainly habitual sin. But again, we are all sinners.

      Too many of us like to get all upset about homosexuality when we are comanded to look at our own sin and be most concerned with that. Worrying about my sin is a full time job, so unless you are gay and looking at your own life, lets put the focus on our own self control and need for grace.

      Have a wonderful weekend.

      …..For the record then, there are two types of homosexuals, those that act on it and those that don’t. Cain was likely referring to the second type, not the first, and there is a big difference. For simply having homosexual desires is no more a sin than any of the other perverse desires and temptations we may all have during any given day. The sin comes in when we cultivate our perverse desires and treat them as normal.

      This is clearly what Cain was referring to and regrettably did not clarify. End result – he may be toast if he doesn’t engage in some major damage control. Hope he does.
      ————————————————————————————————————
      I agree with you JV and have tried to explain this exact position numerous times. ALL sin is sin, there is no sin that is better or worse than any other. We ALL have free will in order to make a CHOICE whether to engage in sin. We all have temptations in our lives whether it be sex outside marriage, the desire to beat the crap outta someone, not admitting that you were given too much change (same as stealing), etc. We then have the opportunity to choose either to give in to the temptation to sin or not. Also, just because someone gives into that temptation, doesn’t mean that they cannot be forgiven. We all have something(s) in this life that is meant to test the strength of our faith and/or resolve to live as Christ. NO ONE

      Hey KaptainKook, there is truth in what he says. Nobody knows for sure, of course, but there are a heck of a lot more “homosexuals” and “bisexuals” out there than biology can account for. Again, difficult to prove, but anecdotally it would seem that a good percentage are choosing this trendy lifestyle. Anne Heche is a fine example of this. On the other hand, there are (and have probably always been) effeminate men and masculine women for whom this is a matter of biology. But look around and you’ll find these to be the minority of gays nowadays (even if they represented the ENTIRE group 40 years ago).

      That tells me that an awful lot of so-called homosexuals have chosen this lifestyle. Which is why we now see them popping up all over the place. It’s “cool” to be gay now. And VERY politically correct. Sell anything well enough and people will inevitably buy it.

      Herman Cain is right and I would not have a problem with him as the Republican nominee. We could do (much) worse. And already are…..

      If you believe that homosexuality is choice, you must also believe you hold the capacity to make this choice. Is that what you fear? I am confident in my heterosexuality. I love women. I have no desire to be attracted to another man. I don’t see any capacity within myself to make this so called “choice” which is why I don’t believe it is a choice. I didn’t CHOOSE to be attracted to women, that’s just who I am. No amount of outside influences can or will change that. That‘s why I don’t believe sexual orientation is a choice.

      Who of you can name a time and date when you woke up and said to yourself “I think I’ve my my decision; I will be attracted to the OPPOSITE sex from now on!”

      None of you made this choice, it’s who you are. Subsequently, it is who they are as well. You may call it a sin, an abomination, disgusting, whatever, but this is America and they are free to be who they wish to be. You don’t have to invite them over for brunch or thanksgiving dinner, but you have to allow them to live their lives as they see fit.

      Yes, AmSol, I do believe that many so-called homosexuals have chosen that lifestyle. It’s most likely the majority who have done this, though not all. As I also believe that there are some people who are clearly oriented that way biologically. But it’s a minority now – the rest are just trying something new and trendy that society is telling them “is cool”.

      As is the case in much of life, the answer isn’t black and white but shades of gray. That said, I applaud Herman Cain for laying down the law and finally speaking out about this (rather than pandering),

      Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Hate the sin and love the sinner.
      This issue has no business in a political environment. Morality cannot be legislated (although God knows we try at every opportunity). Why do the people we otherwise admire as political assets have to stoop to the level of those politicians who we revile? I admire Mr. Cain as a person who could have a chance helping to turn this country around and return us to our Constitution. But when he finds it necessary to make such obvious voter-block comments he reduces himself to the level of the current administration who, while speaking to Latinos, calls the rest of us “the enemy”. I know that’s how politics works, but I am a lot more interested in the details of his economic plan for us since that is the most pressing issue in my life at this moment. Others may have more pressing issues in their lives right now but I don’t think this item is one of them. I don’t need a politician to tell me that all life is sacred. I need them to tell me exactly how they will govern. I need them to prove through their actions that they are who they say they are. Then I will make my “choice” as to whether or not that person is worthy of the most valuable asset I have in government – my vote.
      I also have a problem with his “choice” statement as a generalization covering all homosexuality. I honestly believe that it may be a choice for some whose moral compass is missing. But that is none of my

      one thing Mr. Cain is going to have to get better at is articulating the entirety of his thoughts… if you listen to the audio it seems what he is saying is that homosexuality is a sin and their choice as in they are free to make that choice, this will be played like he said he’s going to ban homosexuality, which is not the feeling you get listening to his audio.

      at least the feeling I got was, yes I think it’s a sin but they are free to sin and that is going to be between them and their maker.

      but I love just about everything I know about Mr. Cain right now, he is sooo refreshing to have someone just tell it like it is. PC be darned to heck!

      I agree with hermann cain homosexuality is a sin and it is a choice. Homosexuality is not something genetic that we are born with and can not control. I am tired of hearing excuses for it. If someone can be arrested for stealing and go to prison then why do they not arrest individuals for homosexuality and put them in prison. In God’s eyes both stealing and homosexuality are sins and with God there is no degree of difference-sin is sin period. America needs to stop tolerating and pacifying sinful behavior individually and collectively. God will not bless us and protect us from our enemies if we continue to tolerate it in our own lives and the lives of others. We must be a God fearing nation, period!!

      Yes, I agree with Cain that the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin, therefore God could not create someone a homosexual, that goes against his perfection. But, God did create us all, He loves us all, and he wants to reconcile us all to him through the shed blood of Jesus, the Christ. All of us who claim to be “Believers”, “Christians” or “Christ-followers” need to remember that while yes, homosexuality is a sin, it is no worse than our own personal sins. The Bible clearly states that there is only one unforgiveable sin and that is to deny Jesus as God. See John 14:6

      There are a lot of beliefs that I have that I would not “impose” or “push” on others……especially as POTUS. Since we are not a theocracy..yet……….the POTUS must respect all people. That does NOT mean accepting something different than “a marriage between a man and a woman”.

      While I agree with Cain’s frankness, in our day and age of communication (and political correctness, too), how does Cain plan to accept the person but not the “sin”? How does Cain feel about “civil rights” of gays?

      I again, of course, see Romney bashing on the Blaze. However, it was studying out http://www.evangelicalsformitt.com the last time that I saw (and then remembered things I had heard in the news before I imagined Romney running) that Romney DID stand up against the tide of gay marriage (as well as the sanctity of life.) So…….when casting stones at Romney, one should consider what he was able to do in office protecting marriage and life, while still not condemning the individuals.

      I think Cain is a remarkable man and appreciate his voice in this process, though!
