Gay Marriage

[healthfreedom]

It's an abomination according to the bible, the word of God. God hates homosexuality. It is a perversion developed by satan to trap God's most priced creation (man) in disobedience and defiance. Satan has his day coming (going to the lake of fire). Pray for all homosexuals.

I wasn't previously aware that you were a member of the Westboro Baptist contingent, bigot.

If Satan existed why wouldn't he make Hell a reasonable place to live. You know, considering he has to be there for eternity.  Maybe put out some fires. But hey, at least he will have all the gays down there to decorate for him, right?

One would think that if it's believed that "hell" is "satan's dominion", he'd have central air conditioning and other comfortable amenities as well.



“Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.”

I am for same sex marriage. I'm not sure what the big deal is anyways. If they are two consenting adults they should be able to have that right to get married. There is nothing wrong about it in my opinion.

Get married, have a family. They seem to go together. It's hard to have a child without a male and a female. It just isn't natural. Nowhere in nature are same sex couples found, though many animals do mate for life.

Ok.. So an infertile woman and/or a man with a vasectomy aren't allowed to marry either?

Simply not true. Several species of animals display homosexual activity.

That prejudicial position had been brough up previously.  In order to eliminate the inherent prejudice, why not call the process a "civil union" for everyone participating in one and get rid of the outdated term, "marriage"?

God doesn't hate anybody.  This irrational way of thinking is why my family and I left the one church we used to attend and found another where I am accepted for who I am.  I am a lesbian and God made me this way....it isn't a choice.  To quote Lady Gaga, "I was born this way!"

[barbme1972]

I need to add to my comment about God not hating.  I looked up all the verses in the bible that have the word hate, hated, or hates in them.  None of them say that God hates homosexuality.  It is called a sin and as we all know, repentence cleans the sin.  So on that note, people need to stop saying that God hates homosexuality.  If you can find a verse that uses those specific words, show me.  Now there are some verses in Proverbs that talks about things the Lord hates.  Proverbs 6:16-19.  That is the only place that I found where it specifically talks about things that God hates and homosexuality or any thing mentioning anything about any kind of sexuality is NOT mentioned in those verses.

All for it.

I am a heterosexual woman.
The only gay person I know in "real life" is a cousin, but that side of the family and mine don't really mix (my mother and her brother just were never very close and the family has just grown apart along two separate and fairly distinct branches) and I've only talked to her a couple times. She served in the National Guard, I think, and is a lot older than me. Currently, she is married to a woman who has two children from a previous marriage. Although I don't know if it's "married married", as our state sadly doesn't allow marriage for everyone.


The stupidest excuse for why men shouldn't be allowed to marry men came from an ex of mine.
His reasoning is that men can't love. Period. That they can only lust and it takes a woman's love to transform their lust into love. So two women could get married, but two men could not because it would only be lust.
There were only a few exceptions to this - himself for one.

(Although he didn't really believe there were lesbians - only women who had been burned by men and no longer wanted to associate with them because men were so awful or whatever. Just needing to find a 'good man'.)

Quoting the bible  It also says you should stone disobedient children to death, so I wouldn't go there for moral guidance.

Anyway, yeah, I'm for same-sex marriage. No one tries to prevent Brittany Spears or Kim Kardasian from getting married, so why not give those that actually want an attempt at doing it justice a try? Why some would be adamant in preventing others from being happy is beyond me. Also, marriage is a legal contract. There's nothing special about the word. It was used to transfer property (daughters where the property many times) and consolidate power. It has no special meaning when you actually look at it through history. There's no reason to guard it from homosexuals.

I am not quoting the bible just to quote it.  I am showing those that say God hates homosexuals, that no where in the bible does it say that.  That is all.

That wasn't directed at you. It was for the very first comment. Still, the bible is a horrible place to look for guidance.
