<p>Too bad the bible is full of lies.</p>
<p>Pi is equal to three because the bible tells me so!</p>
<p>“And he [Hiram] made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one rim to the other it was round all about, and…a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about…And it was an hand breadth thick…” — First Kings, chapter 7, verses 23 and 26</p>

<p>And how, may I ask, is allowing gays the right to marriage undermining the church? Frankly, it seems to me to me none of your goddamn business what other people do with their own lives. Stop trying to control how other people live.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, you seem to feel that because you are Christian and can marry, you should be rewarded monetarily with tax benefits. So when you vote, think about that. By allowing marriage to evolve in a legal context as well as a spiritual one, you yourself have endangered your religion - those crazy gays didn’t have anything to do with it. Take your marriage back to your church and out of the courthouses if you are really so concerned with upholding God’s law.</p>
<p>In conclusion, are we “Hell bent on taking your freedom away”? No. But you sure seem Hell bent on using your deep and profound love of God’s laws to put money in your pocket.</p>
<p>How unreasonable that you don’t let me exert my human freedom! how unreasonable that you don’t let me exert my human freedom to take away the freedom of others in the name of my religion! gosh!</p>
<p>“Take your marriage back to your church and out of the courthouses if you are really so concerned with upholding God’s law.”</p>
<p>Gladly, my friend, gladly. If I could, I would.</p>
<p>Religion aside.
People have trouble accepting this sort of thing because, well, it’s weird! It goes against nature and it’s just…weird. If people ever decide, and I don’t think this’ll happen soon, that gay marriage is not what some people call a “deviation from what is normal behavior” then and only then will they legalize it.</p>
<p>But homosexuality has actually been around for a long time. Leonardo Da Vinci, Plato, and Marie Antoinette were gay. So, it’s not something new.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>SO far Stuck-on-1700, you’re the only person who has called it “weird”. And by the way, who are you to decide what is socially accaeptable for everyone else? WHo are you to choose what is “weird” and what isn’t? Maybe if people like you ever realize that we are all people on one earth, who deserve just as much respect as everyone else (instead of being called “weird” by you) than you will realize that they have just as much right to be married than you.</p>
<p>You dissapoint me.</p>
<p>I agree with Fides – to an extent. I feel the gov’t should not force churches to marry gay couples if they do not want to. That’s why I’m in favor of abolishing marriage and replacing it with civil unions for all. Then churches will have nothing to do with “marrying” people. People can still have “marriage ceremonies” but it wont mean much, law-wise. It will also do a lot for the seperation of church and state</p>
<p>Drew00: But today, in a church setting, the marriage ceremony doesn’t mean anything law-wise. If you plan on getting married, you must do it through the courts, a Marriage Licsense. You don’t have to get married through a church at all, it is all just a traditional ceremony.</p>
<p>The point is, Gays cannot obtain a Marriage License from the courts, I’m not even talking about the religious ceremony.</p>
<p>But I don’t think that you necessarily have to get married in a church. At Las Vegas, you don’t have to wed in churches.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly, you don’t need a church at all. In order to be married and have all the benefits thereof you must get a marriage license from the courts. The fact is, gay couples can’t get marriage licenses. So the debate about not letting churches marry gay couples is pointless. But the church doesn’t want laws passed that will let them get legal, court ordered, marriages at all.</p>
<p>In my opinion, there is no argument against gay marriage. People who condemn it need to find other means of livelihood, instead of unnecessarily attacking gays. People have been gay for centuries, and gay marriage to me is perfectly fine.</p>
<p>Guys come on when you just think about it</p>
<p>when you really think about it</p>
<p>two men kissing is yucky!!1111111111111</p>
<p>What a terribly viable political argument!`</p>

maybe if you didn’t notice, I was generalizing what society says. Yes, I agree with it, and I’m entitled to my own opinion. People will not accept something that just isn’t normal. Women exist for a reason; opposite sexes get married. Same sex marriage is not normal. And it will always be that way unless you can convince the whole world otherwise.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a homophobe. If someone wants to be gay, they can be my guest - as long as they are gay away from me! I know a gay person and he knows that I don’t give a crap if he like to **** men, as long as he doesn’t talka bout it around me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hope the link of that sentence isn’t meant to imply that women exist to get married to, which is blatantly untrue. </p>
<p>Again, define normal. There have been gay individuals in every species including humans since their evolution. </p>
<p>And you proved my point:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So then, why are you against letting them get married?</p>
<p>I had a feeling you would take the woman thing out of context. I meant that women and men are supposed to get married…not the same sexes.</p>
<p>I maintain that I think gay relationships are unatural (the fact that lots of people used to do t before doesn’t make it any more natural) but I don’t care if people want to have sex with their same sex. They can do that on their own time.
letting them get married is justification that it’s not unatural, which it isn’t. straight people spend their whole lives unmarried, this could be the same.</p>
