Gay Marriage

Hello conservative right wingers:

Why do you deny the happiness, that you yourself enjoy, from your fellow citizens? Isn't doing that UN Christianlike???? I think it IS!!!

You are bad and wrong for doing that. Tell my why you're not.

I don 't think gays should be allowed to marry. Not even just from a Christian perspective, I just think it's unnatural. I also think the practice of gay marriage, if legal, would be greatly abused for financial gains. Being gay is a defect, obviously. All living things have one purpose-to reproduce. Just because the times we live in now, where a person can be a productive member of society without having kids, doesn't make being gay not a defect. Obviously, if you're attracted to the same sex, you can't reproduce, and therefore, in the natural world, you are useless.

And that is my opinion, and I think YOU are wrong, excon. What, did you fall in love with your cellie or something? Is this why you are asking?

I'm am not going to join in on this conversation, because it seems to be going nowhere. BUT, I could not passby without commenting on this. I can't believe the hatred being spewed here in this comment and a few others, from someone who claims to be a Christian.

I am incensed that you would refer to a HUMAN BEING as purposeless, defective, and useless, just because they were born gay! You also made a comparison to a marriage between same sex couples to a person marrying a horse! Do your gay family members and friends (mentioned in another of your posts) know that you find them purposeless, defective, and useless? Thou shalt not lie! It was also a contradiction to say that you didn't have a problem with said relatives and friends, yet you find them to be abominations. I find this very hypocritical! The comment made at the end of your angry, right winged words, was just pure venom!

However, I would like to thank you! Thankyou for reminding me why I left the church, and organized religion. It's once again cemented in my mind, the reason I will not return to a place that is filled with people like you. You have once again raised my awareness! Your church must be proud of you for keeping another former member out! I will abide by your username, and "pass you by."

I am going to comment.

Marriage is between a man and a women. Marriage has been created for man and women. It has been through the ages within the church.

As far as if homesexual or lesbians want to have a union that is up to him or her. But as far as having that union within the church, it was not meant to be.

That does not mean that Men - Men, Women - Women can not live together and be happy.

Like I've said before in this thread: marriage has been defined in several different ways over the centuries. 1 man and as many women as he can support is STILL acceptable in some cultures.

Like I've ALSO said before: the only way to make this fair is to have EVERYONE have to have 2 ceremonies. One for the state, for the legal stuff, and one for the church for the religious stuff.

No, you can't make a church accept gay marriages, but you CAN make the state say they will not recognize legally any union that is ONLY done in a church and not through the state as well.

Hello Joe:

Happy New Year to you....

Nobody here is arguing with you or your church about how YOU define marriage. The problem comes when the GOVERNMENT starts to define it, by denying rights to those who THEY think shouldn't be married.

You do agree, that the government shouldn't take the position of the church, don't you? You DO agree, that they're NOT the same thing, that they don't serve the same constituency, and that government should abide by ITS principals instead of the CHURCH'S?
