Gay Marriage

[Nostick]

I support gay marriage in everything but it name. "Marriage" carries with it religious connotations, and it's totally within the rights of the church to not allow people they don't support to use that word. Basically, change the law so civil unions have the same rights (that's something that should have been fixed long ago), bam, gay marriage problem solved.

So then you're saying that Atheist should be denied the right to marry as well? If not, what's the difference? Your reasoning appears to be flawed.

Call me crazy, but I don't think an atheist would want to get married in a church.

The current issue of "marrying" gays is very different than marrying an atheist. Nothing in scripture goes against marrying a heterosexual atheist couple. The problem here is this. If gay marriage goes through with marriage as a convoluted blend of church and state, you get to where discrimination will occur or the first amendment will be violated. It is that simple.

Let people be who they are. Who has the right to keep another person from love? If the people against gay marriage were gay themselves Im sure they wouldnt want to be controlled or stopped from being who they really are. Doing this is like treating gays like animals. There shouldnt be laws to keep some people from the right of mariage and love that everyone in the world deserves. Doing so is like depriving someone of an essential part of life. Its not really anyone elses business what people do and as long as it doesnt effect others directly then causing a fuss about gays is an unessecary reason to get people angry.

Exactly my point. If Atheists can be married outside of the Christian faith, then why not homosexuals as well?

marriage is a contract for children - don't think you can get children out of this union - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle, deviantART, ArtFire, FineArtAmerica

I beleive in God and  in the Holy Bible.  

Genesis 1:27-28 - So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; MALE and FEMALE he created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply;

God created Adam and Eve. (not Adam and John or Eve and Mary)

Gay marriage can NOT multilply, or can they? Gay multiply every day in this confused world,  but gay people don't multiply children. I understand God meant to multiply by having children.    


Ohh and I am NOT judging. THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD  Male and Female Multiply !

So......if my GF is not able to become pregnant, someone should have the right to say we can't marry?


yeah right....go *bleep* up a tree.

  You are so confused ! The topic is about GAY marriage unless your GF is a guy and I think you are a guy right?  

SOMEONE IS NOT BLESSED - MY GOD LOVES TO BLESS HIS PEOPLE. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THERE IS A MIRACLE WAITING FOR A SPECIAL PERSON OUT THERE.

If we are to take every word of the Bible literally, then we cannot eat pork or shellfish, and a woman becomes her husband's property upon marriage. St. Paul says, "Women, obey your husbands; for the man is the head of the woman as Christ is the head of the church." How many people follow these rules, especially the last two? What kind of sick, messed up society would we be if we did? As time goes by, people use their God-given brains to understand human nature and biology. We now understand that people don't choose to be gay although many of them try and try to be heterosexual. I know a gay woman who married THREE TIMES before she finally acknowledged her true nature and is now happily married to a good woman. People can believe any nonsense they choose, but their belief does not make it true, or good.

Really I don't think he is the one that is confused.  If marriage is a union to multiply, and two people are not able to produce children, then in all means and purposes they should not be allowed to get married by the reasonings that your saying.  A homosexual couple can have children by the same means as a couple who is not capable of carrying children, through surragency and adoption.  I believe the idea of basing marriage strictly off the basis of being able to carry children is contradicting because essentially you are saying that those couples who cannot carry children cannot get married.

I agree, I am Atheist and I would never get married in a church.

Using a different name would not work. Remember "separate but equal"?
Marriages are performed under every religion, and they are called marriages no matter what religion they are performed under. Some sects of Buddhism celebrate gay marriages. Not wanting to call it marriage because it has religious connotations is ridiculous, because marriages were being performed before Christianity existed.
