Do you support legalizing gay marriage?[W:667]

Gay sex is an abomination, and gay marriage is nothing more than institutionalized sin. And anyone who thinks otherwise needs to wake up and become more cognizant of what God considers right and proper.

Consensual gay sex is not an abomination and gay marriage is no different than traditional marriage and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to educate themselves on sexuality and stop misinterpreting and misrepresenting God. He doesn't like it.

The slippery slope fallacy with the appeal to the absurd on top just for good measure. In other words, there is nothing credible about your post.

NP... you are digging yourself a DEEP hole here. Those places are not against religion. The completely support Islam. Just because they don't support YOUR religion is irrelevant to your argument.

VERY EASY. The bible does not say anything against consensual homosexual relationships. NOTHING. Therefore, I follow that biblical concept. I recognize that the mistranslations and misinterpretations of the bible throughout the centuries was based on a lack of understanding and bigotry. I do not subscribe to those things.

And, with all due respect, I don't know how anyone can be a strong conservative and be for government intervention of personal relationships.

LOL. What is humorous is that you do not seem to be able to see how you would be a much better fit there than anyone that is actually tolerant of those that differ from themselves.

Huh??? Surely you jest. I mean if you disagree with it that's your opinion but to say the bible doesnt say anything against homosexuality is just dishonest.

Against consensual homosexuality? It doesn't. I can quote the accurate translations of biblical passages that demonstrate this. I've done it many times before.

I am one of the most religious people on this forum, so, as usual, you are wrong with your assumption. And, understanding religion, faith and the complexities of them, I recognize that right and wrong are subjective. If you really understood them, you would too.

Defending homosexuals and SSM is no way to show it. IMO.

The Bible is fairly clear.

yes, we know you cant understand it.

Your mind is so rigid and locked that you dont seem to be able to open it to consider how other CHristians and religious folks think. It's just 'your way or the highway.' BTW....that's not what God intended. It's not up to you to judge. Only Him.

Consider this: there are good Christian homosexuals. *POW!* I just blew your mind. lol

Are we splitting hairs? To the best of my knowledge it doesn't even address "consensual" homosexuality but it does address homosexuality and definitely labels it a sin.

Again, put up for a vote in Nov. as a state constitutional amendment proposition.

If the people of Texas vote it's OK to support depravity, I'll never say another word on the subject.

You don't vote on Constitutional rights, and you shouldn't have to vote on human rights. We have a Constitution, and a Supreme Court, specifically for that reason.

Many states voted to defend marriage as between one man the one woman. Texas wasn't alone.

Should all those people be alienated? Do we need to secede in order to live by our own laws?

There comes a point where allowing small groups of people to seek accommodation in your life becomes unproductive and dangerous. IMO we have reached that point.

I've heard the argument over whether the Bible is actually talking about homosexuality or not. I also know there are many denomination from different churches that have overlooked certain tenets to satisfy cultural pressures. [and no doubt fill their coffers]

CINOs JINOs PINOs but very few MINOs or FINOs

Gov. can pass a law saying that all firstborn children be sacrificed. Such a law will be struck down in court (and rightly so). You can have a referendum calling for the same thing and if it passes it will be struck down in courts as well. (and rightly so).
Should peoples rights exist only if they are in the majority?
Is this how you see democracy?

It isn't gay marriage that should be banned, it is religion. For as of yet I have not seen a married gay couple murder people that do not believe as they do, religion however ….

Most of my sisters are highly religious. They are Wiccan and I've a brother who is a Druid. All are for SSM as their religions do not have any issues with homosexuality nor believe in any restrictions to marriage. Face it. Not all religions have prohibitions against all things gay.

It's their marriage and is not in your life. Any more than my sister's pagan marriage is in your life.

If my granddaughter looks up at me after seeing two dudes getting married on TV and asks "Why?" it's in my life.

BTW: I'm going to tell her it's an abomination against God when she old enough to understand.

Same thing when a black marries a white? After all we made the moral abomination legal too.

No, the logic is somewhat different. But if you were interested, you would know what the logic is.
