The current state of marriage is the reason why dating is so difficult.

If I am free to love whoever I want then is incest okay? Is it okay to make love to a 12 year old?

We really have to consider what Marriage Equality could lead to.

Divorce bad.

No Fault Divorce

Free Divorce

Marriage Equality?

What is next in line?

Nip it in the bud

I wasn't talking about any sort of ceremony. I just meant that, by baking a cake that would later be used in the wedding of a homosexual couple, those bakers' consciences would be violated, since homosexuality was against their religious beliefs. Then, these bakers were punished for abstaining, which is taking away their freedom of religion.

The homosexual couple could have simply gone to another bakery and request a cake be made. It was the bakery's policy to deny a cake for such matters, so the homosexuals should have gone elsewhere.

Comparing Christian views to those of "radical Islamic extremists" is a bit of a stretch...Simply put, true Christians want to see everyone's soul saved and to see no one practice the sin of homosexuality. We (or at least the Churches of Christ) do not wish to kill those who practice sin - just help these people so they can hopefully be saved.

The founding fathers knew that man-man sex and woman-woman sex were against natural law so they were against it!

A few years ago 47 was the average life-span for a homosexual. Now with drugs helping against the HIV virus they are living a bit longer. One can disregard the bible...the fact is it's just plain unhealthy.

Thanks - I'll be sure to use it more often, in addition to redirecting the question back to you :p

There is much scientific evidence proving that God's hand created existence; much more evidence than there is for anything else that describes how existence came about.

The design in this world is far too intelligent to have just happened on its own, or by accident.

Somehow I must have missed all of this "scientific evidence" in your argument. Maybe it's just me but all I see is one more vacuous post.

So, let's summarize your arguments so far.

1) You don't believe in the Big Bang theory therefore God, the Bible is the word of God, and nothing would exist without both the Bible and God.

2) The world is complex therefore God.

Yup, those sound like bullet-proof arguments to me!

LOL

Haha. I know you see the Bible as a fairy tale, but have you made any concrete or "bullet-proof" arguments of your own to justify your seemingly disbelief in God?

Homosexuals know what they are doing is wrong. But human beings are so desperate for love that they will choose bad love over no love at all.

Where did we get the idea that love is all about feelings? It's much more than that.

This is a fundamental reason why so many people get divorced. They say the have "lost that loving feeling."

Well you are going to feel that many times in your marriage.

Pretty much. A lot of times people marry only for the "love" or sexual feelings. They don't see too far past this. They fail to see the hardships and trials that are present in any marriage, and when problems arise, they don't know what to do so they turn to divorce.

Some homosexuals know no better. They act on desires without knowing right from wrong, and it is up to those who know the Truth to tell them and save them.

Why is it called "gay pride?" Why do we call it "coming out of the closet." It seems to me that what you do in the dark should be something that you are not ashamed of doing.

Why do you call me brah? Are you upset with me for arguing with you?

If I was your doctor would it be loving to not tell you about a cancerous mole on your neck? Maybe it would be

better not to tell you because it would hurt your feelings. I cannot say that The Gay Marriage is okay because it is not,

and it is harming those who practice it. (Yes, it also hurts society.)

Perhaps you have heard that marrying a person of the same gender is actually worshipping oneself. That's another reason it's wrong and I think that you know that. We all have had moral training. (There is more slavery now than ever in America than at any time in our history.)

It never ceases to amaze me that the people here put so much effort into being good runners and almost zero effort into dating, and then complain about their dating lives. Let me put this in language you understand: If you only ran once a month for 2 miles at a 10/mi pace, you would not be very good and you'd never win a race. Having options with women is way easier than winning a race, but you have to learn and socially calibrate yourself.

If you are the standard beta male (which you probably are because our society requires that) you've been led to believe that your job is to develop yourself into a person to be used. You are like a cow. Chattel. A commodity. You're going to go out and bust your ass and make money, and then women will use you for your money, and that's the only way you'll attract a woman. And for guys stuck in your mentality, this is true. Or at least it has been untill fairly recently. Technological displacement and the dominance of tech in our lives is changing all that. The jobs aren't there anymore. Women don't need to be supported by a man anymore. What makes a man attractive is changing, and fewer men make the cut. The good old days of every guys gets a job and works hard and his reward is a good wife, are over.

I am not sure if people in this country know where all this is going.

Elementary schools now read books to kids about a man marrying a man and show them kissing at the end of the book.

They teach second graders that there are many types of families, including man-man, with a child or woman-woman with a child. When a parent protested this they locked him up in prison for the night!

A man in Idaho wanted to marry his two daughters!

What's next? There really is no next, we are already there.

How is this similar to racial inequality where there were lynching's? I'm not seeing it.

Yes it is true that 60% claim to back The Gay Marriage. However guilt has led to this also I think that lots of those folks who claim they are for The Gay Marriage are secretly against it. When one is faced with making a public statement, often people will go with the crowd. What sounds cool right now.

People try to compare it with the blacks getting their civil rights. However it's not close to the same thing.

Do people who steal money all the time have a civil right to do so? We really need to get people to think deeper

on this issue and not to vote for it because they feel guilty because of their own actions. Yes everyone is a sinner but we do not have to act on our emotions. What kind of a society will we have if we do that?

How about a society where you don't get to define for others what a "sin" is nor do you get to tell them how to act? Sounds ok to me.

Also, I thought your use of the unnecessary preposition "the" to refer to "The Gay Marriage" and "the blacks" was either very clever or very telling depending on whether your entire post was meant as satire (I hope) or was meant to be taken literally.

Good job!

Gays used to mean happy, they are trying to say subliminal that you will be happy if you are gay, they use the rainbow as their symbol a symbol that God used as a covenant that he would not destroy the world with a flood again, and gay pride parades pride is what made the devil fall and the bible say a lot about pride being evil.

For your next post perhaps you could try using English. It works!

Ummm . . . ever heard of "consenting adults"? Challenging concept, I know.

There was a gay pride rally in Hawaii a few years ago. People were going up on stage and giving personal

testimony about their partner. Drinks were flowing and there was lots of good food for sharing.

Each person would say all the loving things and how wonderful their partner treated them. Everyone was having

a good time and there was lots of love in the crowd. People usually clapped as testimonies were given, there

was lots of crying and laughing.

Towards the end a huge Samoan guy went up to the stage and he talked for a long time about his guy.

At the end he said, "you know all of you can enjoy a relationship with him. His name is Jesus." Then he ran from the stage!

It's true we are all sinners. But it's possible to have a relationship where you can daily talk to God and ask for

forgiveness and enjoy your life. That's what it's like, it's a relationship.
