I think that what has gone wrong with American Christians, like Huckabee, is that we've forgotten what grace is supposed to do. Grace delivers us FROM sin; it isn't an excuse TO sin. God's love changes our hearts so that we don't WANT to do things like marry 27 wives, whether the law says we could or not. Huckabee thinks, "We must prevent gays from getting married or pedophiles will be allowed to rape kids." He doesn't see two guys that love each other unconditionally wanting to commit to each other for life. One sees law as a protection from evil, the other wants to use it as a tool in securing their love. One thinks, "I must not let gays have 'the food from the table of marriage' or something WORSE can happen!"; the other, "Why can't my lover and I just have this 'crumb' from it?" (see Matt. 15:21-28)
