Pray for Same Sex

What in Gods great name is the deal with people and same sex marriage laws? Why is it such a big deal that a couple of people, who want to get married, of the same sex, canÂ’t do so?
I canÂ’t believe the religious pacts that are coming out of the woodwork to protest the possibility of modifying the marriage laws.
As some of you may or may not know a few months ago Ontario judges ruled that couples of the same sex could indeed get married. This caused a major outcry among those who are “right” in saying that marriage is the bond between a man and a woman, and only that. But, let’s step back a bit and look at what marriage really is. As I see it, marriage is a dedicated bond of love. Can you marry something else? Can you marry other people, inanimate objects? Can you marry your job? I think you can, maybe not legally but you can hook yourself up to it enough to constitute a phrase “married to his work.” What else can you marry? I think you should be able to marry anything that you love enough and has the ability to say yes to you. Even your dog if you so please. Mind you, there’s no government perks to marrying your dog, but at least you’ll get your leg humped. Actually, there’s no government perks anyways, but that’s another piece.
Historically marriage was an event of religion. And right so; I feel it should remain, in a way. There’s a clear line between state and religion. Any religious pact should, and will in my eyes, be able to deny services to a couple in which fail to meet their religious guidelines. Typically speaking though, they’ll marry any man and woman combo that wants to pay the fees. However, the state, the person at the license counter, the justice of the peace must not be able to deny this to any persons whom wish to bond themselves legally. It’s quite simple really. Two line ups: one for religious weddings and one for same sex. Watch and see what one becomes more popular in the future. Quite frankly, with the given results of most “religious” weddings, same sex ones could improve the divorce percentages. Of course, this also opens up the door for a whole new realm of stats, services and insanely crazy things that I’d rather not discuss because that’s the sort of thing that I shouldn’t care about.
I shouldnÂ’t care about it, because I wonÂ’t and I donÂ’t care about what other people do in their homes, with whomever or however they do it. ThatÂ’s why these religious folk should go back home to reading their book(s) and leave other people alone. ItÂ’s not their business. ItÂ’s not their right to deny others of alternate or non religion of something they so desire.
If God would like this law to remain in tact, as is, I open an invitation for him to come down and deny its progress. Just let me get my camera so I can get a few good pictures, then we can all go drink a lot of wine (he can make water into wine, right?) and forget about everything.

My issue is that the homo community wants NOTHING to do with God but yet they feel free to bring lawsuits against the chuch and christian schools for not tollerating the life style.Thats bullying!!!

Who says they want nothing to do with God? I know gay christians. I also know that if they were refused access to a church because of their orientation, that would be the biggest load of horse-shit imaginable.

gays are not christians,there are multiple,places in the word of God the states that it is an abomination,and just plain sin.Do we really have to go back to the soddom and gomorrah issue?????

I know gay christians, and you can't do anything about it.
PS: We could go back to the Soddom and Gomorrah issue, but you'd have your ass kicked again, so it's probably pointless.

Okay - we get your point. Now piss off, or find something else to say, and the grammatical skills to express it.

By george she's finally got it.God created sex,for pleasure.Between a husband and wife.Before some idiot pops up and says adam and eve werent married.They were,they had a covenant relationship with God.Thats what marriage is.Its not just a piece of paper or a religious ceremony,Its a covenant being made between the couple and God. Im sorry but God is the most intollerant of them all,that is why he destroyed those two cities I think we all know about by now.I would have to say that it was the ultimate gay bashing scenario.Thats Gods job not mine,I dont agree with the life style but I can assure you I am totally against beating or murdering them,its wrong.Like I said God will take care of that,Im just warning you.I will however do everything to protect my children from the tolleration movement and I will promote traditional marriage.This do what feels good generation is on a path to destruction.Lots of things feel good,that doesnt make them right.!!!Young people today need their mouths washed out with soap,its filthy ,do they have any clue as to just how bad it makes them look.??It may feel good to talk like that but it makes you look just plain stupid,it says nothing for your character.

Fuck you, Le Poulet.
You give chickens a bad name. I hope someone shoves a spit up your ass and roasts your sorry soul a midst a wild tri-sexual orgy.

Go random dude!
I know that I'm missing stuff when I make references to the bible (and I don't really present my arguments in a scholarly way), which is precisely why I'm now re-reading the bible, or, at least, the free copy of the new testament which I picked up during clubs week. I'll get to the old testament later.
In the mean time, thanks for your opinion - if 'Poulet' had begun her arguments as you have, then I don't think we would have had this argument.
But I will admit, it has been fun. I love a good debate/battle/war/long bout of stupidity, at times. Gets the blood flowing and the mind working...and I always have thought it healthy to question your beliefs. Questioning is what our minds are built for.
