Facebook: Marriage issue prompts 2.7 million profile picture updates

You are in the minority. As you know the population of your county has increased over the years. Many of those are hispanic. The vast majority of hispanics are very family oriented and support traditional marriage. Austin is the exception and IMO is a disgrace.

Yeah, you are in the minority, though polls show a clear and rising majority who support gay marriage. But remember that if you bring up evidence that completely contradicts his fantasy he will just say those people are a disgrace and not count them.

Look we know why you are angry and striking out. It is the end for people like you. Things are shifting, and even your politicians are backing off their anti-gay stance. So you better hope god comes here soon because if he doesn't you are going to have to live with the reality of gay marriage.
 
Okay fine link your polls. BTW I just did a photo shoot at the largest gay church in the US right here in Dallas TEXAS

Gay church is an oxymoron. just as Adulterer Church or Murderer Church is an oxymoron. Sin is sin

It is not the end for people like me. God will have the final say.
 
Look I am not saying homosexuals should be beaten or shunned. I am just saying that the holy covenant of marriage should not change. Why can't we allow homosexual couples the same rights as married couples and preserve traditional marriage.

Perhaps marriage would have more respect as an institution if there won't so many quicky divorces, children born out of wedlock, deadbeat dads, etc. The fact is, sadly, that the government became involved and decided, as one example, that you were married if you just lived together. That's about when the whole thing began to become undone. And the vows that were once made in a religious environment have come to mean little. Marriage is just an upgrade from 'going steady'.

My son is Gay, btw, but i don't think this affects my opinion. He is hoping to settle down with someone he loves as well, just as most of us do. I think it's possible that we can just build a larger tent, and embrace everyone.

Don't worry, i am cool with judgment if it comes. if it doesn't come in the way a made up book of fiction says, then you have wasted a lot of time on a load of BS.

And if it does go down the way it is written?

Ah, this old chestnut again.

Latinos reversing course, support gay marriage

Latinos are changing their attitudes about same-sex marriage, joining growing support in the rest of the country to allow gay couples to marry.

More than half, or 52%, of Latinos say they support gay marriage in a new poll by the Pew Research Center. The general public supports gay marriage, 48%-44%.

The finding for Latinos is opposite of attitudes in 2006: Pew says 56% of Latinos opposed same-sex marriage six years ago, while 31% supported it.

I see you're not going to link any polls about texans as a majority not supporting gay marriage
 
Yes, because anyone who believes that all people are created equal, and that radical religionists like you shouldn't be using the government to enforce your jesus values, is clearly a socialist.

Do you have any idea what a socialist is?

Oh, and luckily an increasingly large number of people don't give a flying rat's ass about your made up god. So we're not exactly shaking in our boots. Keep being a bigot.



Christianity didn't invent marriage, so you can't call dibs.

I'm a bigot? you must have missed the part in this thread where I said hate the sin LOVE the sinner.

Not really, you don't see them as equals, and you want to have the government enforce your religious views to deny rights that you readily enjoy.

1) Do you believe that christianity invented marriage? (It didn't)
2) Do you believe that there should be a separation of church and state in the US government? Or do you only support it when your own religion is dominant?

Calling someone a 'bigot', 'fascist'. or 'commie' doesn't advance the argument much.

Most of the polls support your position. I am surprised, We were talking about this at work last week and mostly everyone came down on the side of traditional marriage. Guess I am wrong winston.
 
And if it does go down the way it is written?

Are you kidding, I wouldn't walk into heaven. Do you know the sort of people they let in there? yeah, that is what i want to do, spend eternity with a bunch of bossy prudes. I don't like extremist religious types much in life, why would I want to hang out with them in death? You are really thinking that heaven is supposed to entice me especially considering you are claiming people like you are there, and we cannot torture you? I am not getting the appeal of heaven.

In the future if you want me to hang out with you after death, I suggest you be worthwhile in life.

I think we're all accustomed to the Right imagining that it's actually ahead in the polls. See also: Unskewed Polls.

Just a small point, your friends and people who would willingly talk to a religious zealot are probably not a good cross section of society.
 
1. This thread is embarrassing.

2. Any studies verifying that youth support for SSM is about socialist/marxist indoctrination? Oh wait, nevermind. Since the studies would only be done by the marxists and socialists in question, their results wouldn't be acceptable to you. What a great way to maintain one's biases.

3. The reason younger people are more accepting of SSM is because they have more exposure to gay/bisexual people and to same-sex relationships through their personal lives, television, movies, music and so on. It's not because of a conspiracy. It's because of plain old experience - well, and increasing secularism and scientific consensus that homosexuality isn't harmful.

4. I will pray, but I won't be praying for the "misguided youth". I'll be praying for the Scribes and Pharisees of our day. The people who claim to do the work of God while pissing on the mission of Jesus and denigrating or treating gay and bisexual people as lesser than them in any capacity simply because they want to be treated fairly and equally.


They are more accepting because they have been lied to since birth. The modern Hitler youth, the gaystapo. Moronic kids score lower than third world countries on standardized testing despite the massive amounts of money to edjewmacate them. Oh, tut they see homos on TV in wonderful relationships, it must be a good thing. The TV says so.

So I admit I am wrong about polls and you attack me. And you say I am the one who is intolerant.

They could also see televangelists, if they'd like. It's not as though there's any great lack of Christian programming on television, all brylcreem and beggars in silver-sequined jackets.

I don't think that word means what you think it means, but since you asked, you are the one with the Obama is the anti-christ sig.

How does my signature say that I am intolerant? It has nothing to do with his race and everything to do with his politics and what he is doing to my country.

before we go into this i do expect you to learn what intolerant means.

Winston already replied to this with a very good answer, but I'll add you are defending a religious definition of marriage, a definition that the state cannot uphold on those grounds. It may be hard to let go of, but it will have to happen.
 
Sigh. The irony of this whole thing is that both sides are claiming intolerance...and a unique thing on earth has happened...you are both right.
