why not allow gay marriage? I might have changed my mind
The reason FOR traditional marriages really only has one thing in its corner - religion.
Right? Thats it, that's all there is to it.
Yet, more and more religions are allowing *****s as members, leaders, pastors etc. We got this touchy touchy feel good accept the *****s into your church thing going more and more. Its as anti-God as anything you can possibly imagine, even worse than the Catholics and the molestors in them becuase they KNEW it was wrong and covered it up - hid it behind closed doors. This new kind of openly accepting those committing sin is a new era in bastardizations of God's churches.
Lets face it - a "marriage" is a piece of paper by the state you live in saying you're married, right ?
What does God have to do with that?
nothing
Marriage is a legal, agreement that allows two people different criteria for taxes and insurances. Its a document by the state giving two people a it of an edge because they're probably raising a family, got the car and house things going etc.
Lets face it, most marriages don't have God in them.
And if you don't like your legal agreement? Divorce, another legal avenue of taxation and seperation of the former agreement.
No God in there either most often.
In fact, you don't have to put God anywhere in your "marriage" do you ?
And because of that, I'm starting to think that a "legal" marriage isn't a marriage at all. Sure its legal, and stamped with your state's approval, and all that comes with it ....... but God isn't anywhere in there and doesn't have to be, right?
So let the *****'s "marry" because truthfully, there marriages aren't any more a "real" Godly marriage than most men/women marriages, is it ?

IMO they wanting to impose thier morality on everyone else, thats is unacceptable, from what I have heard civil unions have almost the same the rights. That tells me thats its just them forcing thier view point on everyone.
RE: why not allow gay marriage? I might have changed my mind
Dangermouse what morality? Do you mean the kind of morality that binds traditional marriages? With a divorce rate of 50% average how can we say anything about morality? We can talk about adultery too, but that would end up blacking the eyes of "moral marriage" even farther huh?
And heck, how can you talk morality when the guy who's marrying you is *****, or deacons in his church are *****?
Marriage is a doucment by the state you live in. God has nothing to do with that legal document, I think thats pretty obvious and people prove it day in and day out. []

Why stop at gay marriage .......? Why not allow brother and sisters to get married? Or allow polygamy? Or let someone get married to their pet? Why stop anyone from doing anything?

Presumption is the only sin in the bible that has no sacrifice for it, why would you flert with commiting it?
Do you really think history has nothing to sayabout this subject?It's nothing more than the cheapest sex. An afliction of the basest kind. As common as flies.
I just can't believe people have elevated this subject past taking a dump. What a load.
What kind of pathetic country would have such a hot topic as what people do withtheir pecker. It's a freaking Monty Python episode. What a bunch of loosers we are.
That in and of it's self is at the heart of why it leds to the downfall of civilizations. While they should be focused on living their concernded with how to please a pecker. So pathatic it's hilarious."The Shwarts Be With You".
GET A GRIP AMERICA! Prosperity is so hard to live with!

Why oppose those things is the question?
Morally, a Godly person WOULD oppose them, wouldn't they?
But I think we can conclude that people aren't Godly anyway, whether they say they are or not.

What history? Roman's and their homosexual ways maybe? Perhapsthe many cultures that practice polygamy? Maybe you want to talk Old Testament and the way women were treated and the laws of theJews back then ?

Most Americans are opposed to these things. Im not sure what you mean by Godly but most people are morally sound. Most Americans do dont agree with gay lifestyles yet it get pushed down our throats. We have a few libs that want to tell everyone what we should be doing. They want to change our moral beliefs and tell us we are wrong. I dont need a man telling me whats right or wrong.

Really?
The same "most Americans" that allow abortion to continue and never stand up for anything?
The same "most Americans" that account for >50% divorce rate?
The same "most Americans" that have created an internet porn business like no other?
The same "most Americans" that have created an incredible illegal drug demand?
The same "most Americans" that are ok with ***** unions but not ***** marriage?
Yeah, that's REALLY standing up for your beliefs aint it ?

Morality comes from God - without God there isn't morality.

Ungodly,immoral,and disgusting,whats this world coming to?[]
yes, and the consistancy of it would be to allow the *****s to marry - we've yet to really take a moral stand have we?
RE: why not allow gay marriage? I might have changed my mind
Its not just religion Brad, its just wrong. I see it the same as a child molester, only with the child thing, you have a victim. About as wrong as beastiality. There is many more reasons than religion.
