    Usually been? Try looking at the thousands of years of human history then come back to me. However, by just acknowledging other forms of marriages have and still exist, then you admit that one man/ one woman is not the concrete "definition" of marriage. And now you start seeing that is not just marriage as you like to claim, but YOUR view of marriage.

    Is that ok? marriage should be between any adult citizens that agree to be together. Nothing more, nothing less. Unless you can convince me how to adults loving one is another is bad? or how letting other adults marriage one another affects anyone but the party involved?

    More plural than same sex.

    Admitting that form doesn't legitimize same-sex at all.

    One other form doesn't mean ALL other forms.

    Ask any child of any nation who makes a "marriage" & how many will say a "husband & a wife".

    Which are YOU?

    no, but it does end your argument that marriage IS by definition between a man and woman. many nations such as most of Europe and Canada has legalized same-sex marriage, and of course certain us states, so its not any nation, merely certain nations.

    My argument's that you'll never have "marriage", but it'll be "gay-marriage".

    Are you replying to the right post, or just attempting to set up a straw man ?

    yes, im well aware of your argument in which in attempt to assume the motive behind passing legislation. However, to be blunt in really wont matter one way or another, what im explaining to you is that marriage will always be marriage in legislation. i could care less what you think about it, because at that point it will be recognized as such through law.

    You're aware?

    But you just said it was something else.

    And you're right. What either of us think doesn't matter one way or the other, except for those of your persuasion about whom I'm correct.

    Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

    for that reason jesus died for our sins so that we may repent and ask forgiveness so that we too can have eternal life and dwell and serve the lord. no material possession on this great earth is more valuable then the mercy shown to us from god to live in his kingdom forever

    now that is what i call real love.

    Ummmm --- Religion does not have a place in this discussion unless ALL religion has a place in this discussion. Many faith groups - including Christian ones heartily disagree with condemnation of homosexuals. Many entire denominations within Christianity, plus large majorities of other denominations, in addition to the largest branch of Judaism (Reform) and various other faith groups (Unitarians, Spiritualists, Wiccans, Buddhists, etc.) support full equality for homosexuals and see neither spiritual nor moral problems with homosexuality.

    So, NO CHURCH or other faith group should get to establish law, or practice. That is what the separation of church and state is about -- and without that establishment (for which you are tacitly arguing), religion, while divided, has no effect on the debate beyond a personal level. As a secular issue - separate therefore from religion there is no reason whatsoever for prejudice. The fact that your faith group says that being gay is wrong means no more than the fact that my faith group says its absolutely fine.

    Beyond that, abby, Christian means Christ Follower, not biblio-idolator. The Bible was not the foundation of Christianity and it never can be, nor can assertion change that fact. Yes, certain fundamentalist denominations may feel di...

Yes, certain fundamentalist denominations may feel differently, but I seriously question whether or not they would have been considered Christian in the early days of said faith. Despite all the twisting and turning one can do, all the archaeological evidence indicates that early Christianity, regardless of all modern assertion, was entirely Eucharist, and by the way communal. The canon of books was not established until the Council of Carthage (397AD) acted on a recommendation of the Synod of Hippo (393AD), and the earliest codices that we have found that resemble the present canon are the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus -- neither of which dates prior to the 4th century. At the same time, we have found copies of the Eucharistic prayer dating from 45 AD. A bit closer to the source, wouldn't you say?

    Madam -- your assertion is just that, an assertion - - which was my exact point in my post. Obviously Christianity came after Christ (whether he was real or not and whether he was crucified or not and whether he was resurrected or not) -- that does not change anything else - and your subsequent assertion is totally meaningless without first proving a premise in which all of your givens are absolutely proven as facts. The division of the faith and of other faiths is exactly as I explained it -- and you can twist forever, you can't discard the people who share your faith in Christ but not the specifics of your theology. They exist, and their views are just as valid as yours. To attempt to argue otherwise you have to start with an assumption that isn't true and provably so.

    You don't even attempt that impossible task.

    I stand by the analysis I gave.

    if your justice consist of discriminatory practices and social inequality then yes it just might be.

    however, i want to point out since the last time we talked. Legislation was passed in Washington state, and is moving through Colorado, Minnesota, and Maine. Even though you may not agree with it, if you honestly believe it will never come to realization, your simply in denial.
