Stephen Baldwin (yes, that one) supports Huckabee and denounces same-sex marriage.

Stephen Baldwin, the far-less talented brother of Alec Baldwin , is memorable for movies like Bio-Dome and Threesome. Or maybe not.
In recent years Baldwin became a Born-Again-Christian. He apparently was inspired to do so following the conversion of his wife, Kennya.
After Baldwin and his wife moved back to New York, Kennya started attending a charismatic church, praying and reading the Bible twice a day. He noticed a change in her that he found inspiring.
“She became more gentle, she became less judgmental, she just changed,” he said.
Now I’ve read about this before. People say they decide to follow in the path of others who have become Christians because they see how becoming Christian “changed” the other person by makng them calmer, happier, nicer, etc. So why is it that after they convert they are something akin to Jake Busey in Contact?
Needless to say, Stephen has become quite a different person. Where he once acted in movies that contained nudity and sex scenes, he has reportedly begun crusading against them. Most recently he announced his endorsement of Mike Huckabee for president and disapproval of same-sex marriage.
I don’t believe that gay marriage is in line with God’s Word, which is found in the Bible. So, what I think doesn’t matter; what I believe is what’s in the Bible and the Bible says that gay marriage is not acceptable.
Says Bill Browning of The Bilerico Project:
So again, it’s okay to show nudity in his own movies, but he has to protest movies with nudity that have more of a plot than “Bio-Dome”. (Remember that one? With Pauly Shore? You know it’s good if Pauly Shore is your co-star!) It’s okay to rub another man’s hand all over your naked ass as long as you don’t, you know, want to marry him.
Then again, he converted after 9/11. Seriously. I’m surprised he’s not backing Guilliani since that candidate’s stump speech consists of a noun, a verb, and “9/11.” So maybe it used to be okay to mess with guys and girls and let your ass hang out for all to see, but if you do it now, the terrorists win.
I’ve had it with these nitwits who sow their wild oats, find Jebus, then become the Morality Police for the rest of America (“Dr. Laura” Schlessinger, anybody?). Religion should be a guide for one’s personal path, not a weapon to wield over others. But the “Christian Nation” types can’t seem to distinguish the difference.
