No. I do not believe that everybody is entitled to their own beliefs. Was Hitler entitled to his view that Jews were an inferior race? Are racists entitled to their view that blacks are inferior?
Actually, come to think of it, everybody is entitled to their own beliefs as long as they keep it to their own backyard. If Hitler hated Jews in his mind but never did anything about it, I would be perfectly fine with it. But religion constantly enters, influences and juggles with state policy which influences everyone. This is completely unacceptable. I am simply asking the reason for your beliefs, and so far, I have not seen an explanation which satisfies me.
Once again, this thread was made to see the reasons for the beliefs of both sides.

Im pretty sure i showed a way in which they could be compatible. you kinda ignored all my previous posts on that topic in there...
And in some ways, it's not religion, but common sense that goes into politics. And you're assuming everyone in the church feels the same way. Plenty are ok with gay rights, for example.
If NO personal beliefs were in politics, how would they exist? There would be no reason to run, no reason to pay taxes, no stances on any position; religion just influences moral values. i dont see how there's anything wrong with that. It's a moral line you should draw, not a personal-social one.
EDIT: posted before i saw your post.
No, it's more of that he can do too much, not a lack of being able to do something.
It's the nature of sin. not any choice made by anyone. Original sin passes down from person to person. it's of no personal fault of anyone.
And i answer you one last time, they can co-exist. He CAN change it, but he knows he wont. Therefore, he wouldnt be violating anything. he CAN but WONT. he knows he never would and wouldnt have the reason to, therefore, he CAN but knows he would never have to.
