Gay Marriage

[Denny347]

apologies, as I believe I was the one who first did so. My intent wasn't to begin a religious discussion, but instead to find the basis of religious opposition.

Marriage is a religious ceremony for a man and a woman. period. If the gays want a civil union to somehow "justify" their feelings-fine-but don't try to convince me it should be a marriage. They can't reproduce-they can't be like a man and woman .

Sorry if you don't agree ,but no one will ever convince me that gays are "born gay" any more than thieves,rapists,child molesters,liars,etc.,etc. are born to do what they do. We are all sinners,but choosing to change or continue our sinful ways is what makes us human.Free will lets us choose-not blame it on----"I was born that way"----.

So if you are a straight sterile couple who cannot have kids it's not a real religious marriage either?

I disagree that nobody is "born gay." There were a few kids in school that looking back now, I realize they were gay even back in elementary school. What I mean is, they were gay before they even knew what it meant to be gay.

To the OP -
Did you really expect a Straight answer for such a Gay question?

Marriage is not a government concern there should be no legal definition of marriage if a church wants to recognize a union between people then that's fine or if they want to not recognize a couple that's fine but her the gov out of it

Get the government out of the business of licensing ANY marriage.

Government licensing of marriage was designed for one purpose - to attempt to control the genetic race of the US population by preventing marriage between white people and minorities (look it up - antimiscegination laws). Let's get rid of every vestige of what is a clearly wrong government plan.

They should have the right to give half their crap away just like everyone else!

Nope just curious... I posted this as a political question and I already knew how it would go to the "dark side" (nothing against the religious people just a slight that religion is a no-no on INGO) It just proves to me more that religion and politics should have nothing to do with each other. The whole civil union vs marriage debate is a joke it's the same thing call it that!

This thread is good for post count & trolling

I am morally opposed to gay marriage, but I do NOT believe it should be illegal. The Duty of government is to protect people's right to life, liberty, and property. That's it. Marriage should not be defined by the state.

I think there may need to be another option in the poll to reflect this opinion accurately.

Interesting question... If a man wants to have multiple wives (or visa versa) I mean as long as the wife/wives are okay who am I to stop them? I have one wife and always joke about getting a "sister wife"... but I have 1 wife and 2 daughters and I couldn't imagine another woman in my house telling me what I can and can't do...

I do want to say that this has been a very civil and controlled discussion considering the topic and the fact that it is on a forum.

Kudos boys and girls!

Can you imagine being in a house with 4 Women nagging in Stereo...
