I find the biggest problem with people who come to me trying to push gay marriage is that they're like the Jehova's Witness, you practically have to chase them away with a gun. They claim to be all tolerant and junk. I find that the people who take the most pleasure in being tolerant are the most intolerant.

BTW: I'm a serious Roman Catholic. What of it? I was against Gay marriage before I really believed in my faith.

hmm yeah thats how i see it as well
another conundrum is the female male standards
which one are we obliged to treat them as?

can we tease them like a male, or should we respect their sensitivity as a female chimera?

can we be physically rough with them i.e tackle and punch or do we have to treat them as more sensitive to pain and aggression being female chimeras?

That's right; I'm sure they're dolts.)

Gay people should not be allowed to marry, for one simple reason: Marriage is a Christian Ceremony, and the Christian bible specifically say's homosexuality is wrong. I say, let the homosexuals have civil ceromonies, as they are government ceremonies, and the government has no right to deny it to anyone. For this to work, however, I believe the government needs to do two things: give the exact same benifits as Marriage to Civil Ceremonies, as well as backing off completely of controll over Marriage. The government should not be "banning" gay marriage OR allowing it: they should be handing it off completely to the church and letting them handle it. By even getting involved, this would be like if the government passed some legislature to officially re-write the bible. We need to maintain a sepperation of church and state.

So just because you think that it's wrong, you don't think it should be allowed? Not every Christian thinks that same sex marriage is wrong. Just like not all Christians give something up for lent. And do go trying to say that they aren't real Christians, because that isn't your call.

I can really agree with this statement.

I believe I have mentioned my girlfriend is/was of Roman catholic up bringing. One of her sisters is here from out west visiting & one of the oldest sisters was talking about going to mass, & the visiting sis says she has been excommunicated for going forward with a divorce from her husband.
W.T.F.
She is not allowed to go to her church and participate in all the hoopla.
I could tell that this is something that really bothers her, and even though the husband caused the rift & was caught cheating, the priest believed they should 'forgive & move on'. She though ,had enough of him & got a divorce.(smart girl in my mind, that's why I'm divorced)
I cannot at this time think of a better reason not to be involved with such a fucked up group of so called religious people.

Cuppa, not everyone believes the same things as you. And weddings are joinings of two people who love each other. And I know 2 gays who are married, not religious at all. If they are happy, I say my peace.

Most people who think gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry just sounds like idiots. There is almost never any good arguments, and the underlying tone of hate for gays is so obvious that it isn't even funny.

Christianity did not invent marrige, nor does Christinaity have single rights on marriage today. You can't control others people's lives like that because you don't like how they live. What are you going to do if gay couples marrry out of country? Go to war?

In about a hundred years, Christians will claim that Christianity was the champion of gay rights and science.

You think?

And weddings are joinings of two people who love each other.

As well as religious ceremonies.

And I know 2 gays who are married, not religious at all. If they are happy, I say my peace.

If they aren't religious, it's pointless to get a religious ceremony. If they adopt a kid, will they baptize it?

Gays are an abomination to God. When Judgment comes, they will be awash in a sea of flames, forced to spend eternity bathing in everlasting hellfire and brimstone. Their unholy unions are an affront to The Most High and befoul the sanctimonious union of marriage which is most holy in the eyes of Jehovah, the One True God.

Think you're pretty clever...

You are so fucking funny it is untrue. I'm not being scarcastic or anything. If you atcually believed that stuff it would just be pathetic but that is really genuinly funny.

I mean honestly abomination to God? You don't go to a electronics store or a factory and say "This CD player you sold me doesn't work but I think it's my fault"

Religion has no right, or authority (nor does anyone else for that matter) to say what couple (regardless of sex) can get married and who cant. UNLESS they couple in question are apart of these religion groups who bash gays in which it is their own dam fault.

Jesus. People, why do any of you care if a gay couple gets married or not? Is gonna affect you? Not really. You guys talk about the stupidest shit, I swear......If gay people want to be as miserable as straight people, then let them get married. Who the fuck cares? It's not like YOU PERSONALLY are being forced into a gay marriage. So just shut up.....goodness....

OH but its a sin against God, they will go to hell and bla bla bla

You make a fair point, the only reason why they don't want gays to get married is because they simply hate gays and most of them use religion as an excuse. They claim that gays will go to hell if they get married but if God hates them that much then they are going there anyway, and why do people care about strangers souls? You could try to save my soul but I could be a murdering psychopath.

Totally agree with you 100%

Religion is indeed an excuse. But the real problem is the people that are religious may be against gays, fusing it with their religion, people start to become against gays. Now I am not a gay supporter, but I still have the right to not like the idea.

You have every right in the world not to like the idea, but the debate is whether you have the right to oppose it. Which some say you don't and others say you do.

It was but it's so materialised and pointless that the religious celibration is lost. All they are celebrating are the coming together of a couple which is why people from different religions and races are getting married. Religion has no opinion in modern society.

Lets use an example. Pretend it was written in the Bible somewhere that Ice cream was banned. Do you think it's going to stop people from eating it? Of course not.

Not from the state. Marriage can't be all that religious if it allows two Atheists to marry under the state. Churches can ban marriages of people they don't want to marry in their churches... but their influence should not invade the state's responsibility to serve all people equally in respects of the law.

A male, seeing as that's what they are.

can we tease them like a male, or should we respect their sensitivity as a female chimera?

Depends on the person. Just like straight men, they don't all have the same level of sensitivity.

can we be physically rough with them i.e tackle and punch or do we have to treat them as more sensitive to pain and aggression being female chimeras?

See above.
