Grandad:"Well, first of all, I believe all marriage is wrong"
And this is why I do not fly the collors of my religion; Intollerant, ignorant, imbiciles like you ted to be the cause of social tention, violence, and many of the past wars. And no, I am not gay, not that it is anyone's business, and I am protestant Christian, aka mainstream Christian, again, nobody's business, just for clarity. Respect, not hate.
Sure because interracial marriage led to it too just like your kind claimed it would oh wait no it didn't and none of the countries or states that have legalized ssm have even had any sizable amount of people for bestiality so try again.
your not going to go to jail if you are gay, i really don't see what the point of "legalizing" is! what is it exactly do you think you will gain? to me its just gay's way of saying "screw you" to christians!
if you feel like you need the government to give two gay couples a union certificate, fine! but not marriage! marriage is between a man and a woman! and don't expect me to support your perverse behavior!
There is someone for everyone out there. The fact that government is so used to a perfect society they cant realize that what makes the world smile is there own fuel.
They're not forcing any church to do so they're merely making state gov make it available that's it. Also not all religions are against same sex marriage so your point is moot.
well obviously you have never heard of some news where gays have walked into church asked that they get married by the preacher, then go cry like big fat sucky babies to the govermnment even though they started the ordeal
And was the church ever forced to marry them? No so are you gonna seriously judge entire group of people and an important social issue on the act of a minority of people? because that'd be like me judging all Christians as if they acted like the westboro baptists just to give you a clue on how close-minded that is.
thats a good point, but, like i said in another comment (not replying to you) gays won't go to jail for being gay, as it is, so what the hell is the purpuse of legalizing marriage, how i see it is they are trying to get under christians skin.
One for the symbolic meaning of secular marriage, two not all people are Christian therefore laws aren't goin to reflect merely just Christian beliefs and three like I said not all religions or even Christians for that matter are against ssm so again your point is moot.
but gays can already go and get a union certificate, and they won't go to jail for being gay! so i really do NOT see why they are making a huge fuss. of course its not called marriage, but why do they need it to be called marriage?
According to "webster's new twentieth century Dictionary" the definition of marriage is: "the state of being married; between husband and wife;married life; wedlock; matrimony."
One it's the symbolism of marriage, two secular marriage is marriage the term civil union is just an attempt to be separate but equal and as history tells us that never goes well, three other religions like mine for example perform same sex marriage ceremonies but some states stop us from practicing that part of our religion so that turns it into a first amendment issue in those cases, lastly that definition is outdated it's from a time when only a few religions had any sizable numbers in western society those days are gone and definitions are being tweaked to reflect modern day society.
Now as for the topic of same sex marriage I believe you have the right to not perform ssm ceremonies in your churches that's fine it's your religion and church and state are separate, but that goes both ways and you have no right to use your religious beliefs to justify not allowing others equality under secular law.
I don't use my religious views , don't believe in religion,i'm a christian a believer in Jesus Christ he is not religeon its a relationship..yes this world has changed to satisfy this modern day society where any thing goes..but one has not changed thats Gods word..he said that it is an abomination they will be judged..Homosexuality is clearly forbidden, all through the "Holy Bible"its male and female.K.J.V.bible Romans1 v24-27an Leviticus 18 v 22and ch.20 v13 challange every one to read it.Homosexuality is a choice.Do i hate gays "NO".
Your religious views have no say in secular law it's called separation between church and state that goes both ways government cannot force you to believe or follow anything but you in turn cannot force your spiritual/religious views onto society through the law. Also like I told you on a previous post I do not tolerate preachers or missionaries of any sort so I don't need to hear bout your views.
Its not my religious views..Its Gods word and views that matters.he did not create secular law that cause separation of church an state..thats government .I will stand on Gods word and uphold it.Sorry you don't tolerate preachers especially missionaries doing Gods work spreading the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ but all who don't believe will one day.Jesus said when he returnes "all" knees will bend and every head will bow calling him Lord of Lords for some it will be to late i don't give my personal views my word does not mean a thing..every thing in this life is a choice..being gay or not..believeing in God or not.. eternal life or eternity in hell everyones choice..don't know who you are..but i love you as a person will pray for you..thats the change Jesus Christ made in me when i excepted him as my Lord and Savior.
Your view that there is a god is your religious views now shove em cuz I don't sure yours but unlike you I don't try pushing mine on others like a common thug.
Have a nice day !
