 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1948&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Cerulean Spark&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;ceruleanspark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I think I may have responded to this in a different dash, but I can't find it on my phone. 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.</html>
