In short, God commands us to \/invite\/ others to believe as we believe (not convince) for their eternal benefit. As far as gay marriage in the US. is concerned, I feel there are other reasons for opposing it than encouraging others to live a certain way. Even if ultimately we fail to ban gay marriage, I trust that my actions will have served to benefit my country. Also, I don't see how simply opposing government support of gay marriage forces anypony to live a certain way. It certainly withdraws support, but doesn't seem to oppose."}
