In My Opinion
you are starting to scare me.actually, I called it stupid in the first response post .... he may be a bigot (I don't know as it really doesn't go too much into his personality), and he certainly is stupid.

In homes with both mothers and fathers, great.Don't take this the wrong way, but look around at the state of things in this day and age, particularly at people's attitudes. How's that whole mother and father modality working out, really?

You should take me off of ignore, you'd see how wrong you are.pretty much .... not like it hurts anyone in any way.
I agree. But, more accurately and not so far down the slippery slope - what about polygamy? What about incest with consent-aged siblings, or mother/son - father/daughter? How could either of these be left out of "marriage", if there's no standard by which to go?This argument makes me physically sick. Children and animals cannot and do not have the mental or emotional capacity to agree to consenting sexual relationships with adult humans. The comparison is base.
While you respectfully disagree with me, does that mean you saw no validity in my arguments at all?No, none of us are saying that the only reason to strongly oppose homosexuality is hate. Except Xaquin? But the only reason I can see to actively legislate against it is.
And none of us are saying that the guy mentioned in the article is in his right mind. This guy is an idiot looking for attention and a way to cash in and he's making a mockery of the judicial system. I was responding to the unfair attacks on gays as a whole.

God's definition is clearly a man & woman, leaving their parents and joining their souls & bodies and becoming one flesh (so to speak). (Genesis 2v24 and 1Corinthians 6v16).Gods definition (which is what exactly, give the passage or don't bother) has no bearing, as (you already know) church and state are seperate entities in this country.
marriage (as I just pointed out) already means many things. It doesn't matter if you approve or not.
Government (created by God) has every right to protect the people from evil, ungodly things. Pornography, child molesters, drugs, the gay agenda, murderers, etc. Why do you think we have the Police, CIA, FCC, DEA, etc?My conservative father doesn't believe that the government has any business at all regulating marriage. Of any kind. Keep their noses out.
Au contraire. This is extremely cut and dried. There's no reason that gays should not get to enjoy the same rights/privileges as straight people in marriage and family life (i.e., adoption) aside from personal religious convictions, which have very little place in our government. Period. We don't legislate based on what gets you into hell here. Try Saudi Arabia.
Incest with consent-aged siblings or children has the capacity to result in the production of offspring with the potential for physical and mental deformities or weaknesses. Also, one of the best arguments I've heard is that heterosexuality and homosexuality are both states of a relationship, whereas polygamy and incest are actions. Sorry, that sounds kind of confusing. What I mean is that an incestuous or even bestial relationship can be either het or homo. The actions of polygamy and incest can be described by either being straight or gay. Gay relationships should not be grouped with the actual action being performed, they should be considered a category alongside straight relationships. A hetero relationship cannot be homo. But a polygamous, incestuous, or bestial relationship can be homo or hetero. Homo and hetero are just classifications for the actions based purely on gender, not on the actual mechanics of the action being performed. Therefore I think it's unfair to group homo relationships with polygamous/incestuous/bestial acts. They aren't the same type of descriptor.I agree. But, more accurately and not so far down the slippery slope - what about polygamy? What about incest with consent-aged siblings, or mother/son - father/daughter?
The classic "I don't care what they do behind closed doors, but..." If you really didn't care you wouldn't worry about them getting to wear a little old ring on their finger and calling themselves the m-word.I don't care what people do in their own private lives but giving sicko's the same right as normal people? Forget it! Obviously you're not a believer in God either. You'll fit in here very well.
after they get to call it married, how long before they push to be put on the affirmative action programs for their past mistreatments.The classic "I don't care what they do behind closed doors, but..." If you really didn't care you wouldn't worry about them getting to wear a little old ring on their finger and calling themselves the m-word.
Oh, and nahh, I just believe in them gay loving churches what actually loves their neighbor. Outrageous, I know.
P.S. Yeah, These women sure look like some sickos.

If that makes sense. =/
Funny how their rational when they agree with you.
Finally a rational thinking person....
I think the only way to bring this issue to an end is by putting it on a ballet as a referendum to be voted on by all citizens.Funny how their rational when they agree with you.
Why can't it stand by itself? Why do you worry about future problems that may or may not surface, this is as bad as DC worrying about what if's now that the Heller ruling came down.I agree.

Would it change your mind if your side lost?I think the only way to bring this issue to an end is by putting it on a ballet as a referendum to be voted on by all citizens.
history tells us that each advance to ones agenda leads to the next brick.Why can't it stand by itself? Why do you worry about future problems that may or may not surface, this is as bad as DC worrying about what if's now that the Heller ruling came down.
Funny how we're all hate mongers when we DIS-AGREE with you. Time to wake up and see the light, Libs.Funny how their rational when they agree with you.

You just don't get it do you? Behind closed doors they can put on whatever they want but their sickness is not to be recognized as normal marriage. GEEEZZZZ!The classic "I don't care what they do behind closed doors, but..." If you really didn't care you wouldn't worry about them getting to wear a little old ring on their finger and calling themselves the m-word.
P.S. Yeah....this couple of 51 years[/URL] sure look like some sickos.
dont most only last 2 or 3 minutes in a public restroom?You just don't get it do you? Behind closed doors they can put on whatever they want but their sickness is not to be recognized as normal marriage. GEEEZZZZ!
WOW! One couple lasted 51 years. What about the thousands that didn't?
Thank you! This is why God set a standard but the Libs won't see it. First, it's the multiple spouses, then the many sex partners, then sex with animals, then same sex marrying, then child abuse (NAMBLA), then what? Dayum, you people are blind and stupid! This isn't futuristic, it's happening today and we need it to stop. Leviticus & Deuteronomy is full of sexual "no no's" for a reason! God saw what the world would turn into. That's why He gave us laws; to protect us from what we can't foresee.But, more accurately and not so far down the slippery slope - what about polygamy?
What about incest with consent-aged siblings, or mother/son - father/daughter?

um .... well when you're arguing that the majority (in this case both hetero and homosexuals) should have equal rights, and some people are against that because they don't like the homos, they are being hate mongers.Funny how we're all hate mongers when we DIS-AGREE with you. Time to wake up and see the light, Libs.![]()
