Morals morals everywhere and not a thought to think

Why is it that religious zealots can't let homosexuals have basic rights without foaming at the mouth? Most of them seem to think that this government was set up to be their own, personal, moral police. Why can't the same people that rave on and on about God-is-great-because-humans-have-free-agency and about what-would-Jesus-do also admit that maybe, just maybe, they too should alow other people their "god-given" free agency. These people want the government to outlaw anything they find immoral by their church's standards. Why? I often hear that if the country gets too evil that God will utterly destroy us all. I think these people are worried that they might die if they live too close to a sinner. What kind of God can't throw his lightening bolts straight?!!!!
