You sound about as intelligent as a cactus, my friend. I do not agree with what a homosexual believes in and chooses to do, but that doesn't make me hate them or disrespect them in anyway. It's a different point of a view, a different opinion. I have gay friends and family members, Ib68 don't push them away or discriminate I just don't agree with their opinion. Is that a crime? It's called an opinion.
If you really understood the bible, you'd understand where people are coming fromgranted, there are a lot of so called Christian's out there who are preaching the word one minute then screaming that someone is going to hell because they've made a mistake. Being a Christian means you love people, no matter who they are or what they do. Forgiveness plays a pretty big part if you're serious about your faith. You can't pick and choose who you love, whether you agree with them or not.
Call me what you like, dismiss me and call me a bigoted, blindsided idiot if you wantI wouldn't have anything against you or anyone else who did. I actually just came onto Maggie's page to make a post about how she looks so much like Carrie Fisher and stumbled onto this thread(:

According to a recent study published in Nature, cacti are high1c84ly intelligent. So I will take it as a compliment.
I do not agree with what a homosexual believes in and chooses to do, but that doesn't make me hate them or disrespect them in anyway.
When you willingly deny another human being basic constitutional rights, that's called hate.
It's a different point of a view, a different opinion.
Whether someone should or should not get married, that's called an opinion???
I have gay friends and family members
Tell them you are against gay marriage and we'll see how much they respect you. And if they do say they love you no matter what, they are lying. I remember when interracial marriages were illegal. How come that changed? Many were of the opinion that they should stay illegal and yet, the laws changed.
I don't push them away or discriminate I just don't agree with their opinion.
You do understand that we are talking about constitutional rights, right? Not about favorite colors.
granted, there are a lot of so called Christian's out there who are preaching the word one minute then screaming that someone is going to hell because they've made a mistake. Being a Christian means you love people
Funny how that works. When a Christian makes a mistake, they are called "so-called Christians". The real Christians are the perfect ones, the honest ones, the kind ones. In that case, every Christian is infallible because we would eliminate all the others. By the way, if you had read the Bible, the entire Bible, you would know love is not the core of it. Then again, you only accept the New Testament, the lovey-dovey one, and not the Old testament, which is filled with hate.
Forgiveness plays a pretty big part if you're serious about your faith.
The Pope protected pedophile priests with his silence. So if the very head of Catholicism is not serious about his faith, who is? He is the face of Catholicism, right? Orthodox priests are one of the same, with a slew of scandals surrounding them. -

Reread the "Christian bible" Jezus was NOT Love Love Love all of the time nor was he as forgiving as people claim. He name called, he insulted, he beat people with a whip, he fought the leaders of his time. He never said "All of you will go to Heaven"
And we DO CHOOSE WHO WE LOVE. We dont Love ugly women, we Love women that we ARE ATTRACTED TO.
CHRISTIANITY IS PRO LAW OF MOSES not anti Law -

it's not about the right to marry just someone, you fool, it's about the right to marry someone with whom you're genuinely in love. your logic (if one could call it that) presents marriage to someone to whom they're not attracted as the only viable option for gay men and women. that's asinine. your bigotry is no different from that of anti-miscegenation supportersit's just more modern.

kubrickation as has been repeatedly pointed out by many on this thread marriage has wider implications than simply being in love. Its a hollow pursuit of a perceived right that your talking about. Everybody has the right to be with who they love and everbody should ideally have the right to have that union recognised by law. Its only those who wis1c84h to remain ignorant that would perceive my points as bigotry. Instead of judging me perhaps one should stand back and look at the wider long term implications of what they are proposing to society as a whole.

I really don't know how this arguments been strung on this long cus it's simply that some people that are stopping gay marriage so why don't those people change? So that a group aren't restricted more than other groups. Marriage is like a social thing so is obviously not set in stone

I assume your referring to interracial marriage. Being gay is not a race. The argument there was to keep racial purity. Thats not an issue with gay people for obvious reasons and only an idiot would think children raised by gay people would become gay because of itso its not applicable in this situation. It is about what marriage is and it is about rootsbloodlinesancestory descendents. The joining of two families. The continuance of family. Offspring. Its not society the excludes gay people from marriage. Its that marriage runs contradictory to the gay lifestyle. They cant reproduce together. Its that simple. Sure one could say the same for sterile couples but they are not a subculture. They are an unfortunate butb68 small proportion of the hetrosexual culture. Man and woman were specifically formed and created depending on ones beliefsto produce offspring together and throughout history dynasty after dynasty has done just that. I myself can trace my family history back centuries. Marriage after marriage completely randomly occurring and presently I am the product of that. I look at my daughter and I see the many generations yet to come. When gay couples can reproduce without any outside help then they have to be included in marriage. Until then they need to accept their lifestyle choice just as they had to accept their sexuality. I dont want my daughter growing up in a world where family and bloodties are an

But just not gay?
So, to paraphrase this rather lengthy and rambling statement, you are denying gay marriage because it violates your interpretation of so-called natural law and at least partially on creationism. You believe gayness is a choice.
Okay, marriage is about reproduction FOR YOU. For sterile couples and the unfortunate but small proportion of the heterosexual culture it is about 2 people being in love and wanting it accorded the same respect as a heterosexual couple.
You are proclaiming your heterosexual, child-producing couple is more worthy of recognition and respect than any heterosexual or homosexual childless couple.
Good luck with that. Im done. -

Gayness is not a choice but I dont see why that should affect the marriage ceremony. Its good you are done because your not making any sense. You simply vaguely dismiss any point you dont agree with as self styled openminded people are prone to do.

Homosexuality is a choice. God (who is not Jezus) would not say "kill homosexuals" in Leviticus and then go make people gay. He would be leading them to death and being a hypocrite!
It is written "He made them MALE AND FEMALE FOR EACHOTHER" -

I wouldnt personally call being gay a choice but the lifestyle they lead is certainly an alternative to the accepted norm. It should be viewed as just that in my opinion instead of trying to pretend that it holds the same meaning to the wider society as hetrosexuality. It doesnt, it simply holds meaning to the individual and it is that individuality that should be acknowledged. Indeed I would see not doing that as being discrimation but others seem to see it as being the other way around. We are discrimating against gays because we are not pretending that they are in the same relationship as straight couples. Its not any less valid to be gay but it is an alternative lifestyle. Why are people hellbent on covering their ears and ignoring that?
