If you are against gay marriage, you are a bad Christian.

You are misapplying the verse.

How so, there's no talk of taking further action against those who have been excommunicated and in the very next verse it talks about not taking church disputes to legal courts which implies a disdain for using law to settle problems that originate from the church.

Which is exactly what she said. She said nothing about condoning the actions, she said it wouldn't be right to interfere in their lives.

Making something illegal isn't "interfering" in someone's life.

You're making strong attempts to arrest, persecute, and imprison other people for actions they don't even believe is immoral. If that isn't interference, do explain what is.

If your intent isn't to interfere, what is it?

Counter-example: I routinely eat donuts. Donuts are made illegal. I can no longer acquire donuts easily, and must go to great lengths to purchase black-market donuts or learn to produce my own donuts (while avoiding scrutiny from the FBI). The banning of donuts has thus interfered with my life.

You shouldn't have been eating doughnuts in the first place.

There you go, you're interfering. You're making something illegal, encouraging people not to do it, and persecuting them for not listening.

It's about as bad as being childless. Oh noes, Jesus was a sinner.

Because everyone must be the same, right? because people don't grow up to have different appearances, professions, preferences, etc. We're all the same.

We have a different idea of what counts as "interfering" and/or "judging" goes.

You are misapplying the verse.

Do explain.

It said not to judge someone outside of the group of believers. It didn't say to condone them, or to legislate in their favor.

It also didn't say to give them cookies. Can I not give non-believers cookies? You cookie hating b*****d!

And funny thing about legislation... it often uses judges...
