“It won’t stop until there are no more churches, until there are no more people who are spreading the Gospel,” Huckabee said on a right-wing radio program while discussing the backlash against anti-gay religious-freedom legislation in Arkansas and Indiana.
"I’m talking now about the unabridged, unapologetic Gospel that is really God’s truth," he said.
Huckabee made the remarks during an appearance on the conservative Family Research Council radio program “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins."
The question is a false question. Christianity's survival is not based upon defeating SSM. That is a ludicrous false claim.
Many Christians, certainly on the conservative side, are linking the survival of Christianity to their ability to discriminate against gays. They need to discriminate against gays in order to be true Christians.

I think you can if time permits edit and add a poll. Nor sure.
And the Hucketser is just that and a freak as well.

It's been a while since Huckabee has announced he wants people to sign one of his petitions to Congress - along with a donation of course. That's his money-making routine. Yes, he uses religion for those personal fund raisers.
You do know that many Churches are splitting apart due to this- And that includes conservative & some would say Liberal Churches as well.
I would like to see some numbers on your point?
You'll need to define many.
What numbers are you looking for? Do you think that I'm in error that many Christians think that being anti-gay is intrinsic to the scripture?
He misuses religion is my opinion.
A wingnut.
Many is open ended.What numbers are you looking for? Do you think that I'm in error that many Christians think that being anti-gay is intrinsic to the scripture?

You don't understand how most of Christianity works. Fornication, adultery and divorce also are against scripture. Does that stop anyone from being Christian?

I would believe you if Christians cared as much about adultery and fornication as they do about gays and finding ways to legally thumb them in the eye. Mind you, having gay sex isn't even on God's top ten things not to do. Yet it is first place in the minds of many Christians on the conservative side.
Many is open ended.
Numbers, i am sure there is research out there. But before you make a claim of "many" it really should be quantified as best as is reasonably possible.
Possible the Pew Institute may have some stats. I do not know.
Many members of the Christian Right consider homosexual acts as sinful[41] and think they should not be accepted by society.[42] They tend to interpret biblical verses on homosexual acts to mean that the heterosexual family was created by God[43] and that same-sex relationships contradict God’s design for marriage and violate his will.[44][45][46][47][48] Christians who oppose homosexual relationships sometimes contend that same-gender sexual activity is unnatural.[49]
I do not see it. Just because Huckabee is making a statement here such as this does not mean he speaks for all of Christianity in this regard.
I agree with that. The reason is because it still most is about "them." Adultery and fornication ceased being a focus because it was too much about "us." To get a church to change is stance would only take about 10% of the membership openly being gay. Then, while still having doctrine against it like there is against adultery and fornication, they'd stop talking about it.
