This speech has NOTHING to do with gay marriage. Are most people for gay marriage today? Probably so but it has nothing to do with what West said here. he has said this--"I absolutely support civil unions but believe marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman."
A lot of us agree.

The bible also says tho shall not kill. Yet your hero allen west dedicated his life to a career whose focus it is to kill others. And the right wing christian conservatives you take your marching orders from think it's dandy to bomb other countries into rubble. You must be so proud at your complete lack of understanding and critical thinking.

"ignorant bigots"
Well, in your mind, yes.
As far as "letting go" of my views, they are religiously ingrained. But that's right, you don't believe in Christianity either. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. :) It must be a big cross to bear to be so right all of the time. No?

2:43
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

anonymous at 2:43. that saying is about committing murder, not defending oneself against enemies. The Hebrew Bible contains numerous prohibitions against unlawful killing, but also allows for justified killing in the context of warfare, capital punishment, and self-defense.
