Iceland passes gay marriage law in unanimous vote

Why is it that the attorney general of the United States can't place Islamic terrorism at the feet of Muslims? If that's isn't Liberals defending Islamic terrorism, then what is?

Some conservatives are christians. Some christians are child molestors. Therefore, conservatives support child molestation.

(also, not using the phrase "radical Islam" is not "defending terrorism."
 
The fact that the country has a state church isn't as important as the make up of that church and the devoutness of the citizens. From what sources I've seen, only 10% of the population attends church at least once per month. Now that may not necessarily reflect the devoutness, but it does give us a clue.

I think it has more to do with a culture of tolerance than it does with religion. It's the same reason why you can meet some religious people who are very open minded while there are others who think doctrine should be made public policy.

Canada also has a lot of Christians but the gay marriage debate lasted a very short time at the Federal level. Now that the decision has been made, it's a non-issue. Churches don't have to perform ceremonies if they don't want. This is about civil licensing. The ceremony and religious affiliations are an auxillary factor.
 
My post was an attempt to show the absurdity of such an argument.

Very weak attempt...

Oh, and btw, the US Constitution is not nor was it ever intended to be a suicide pact. The founders could in no way have contemplated the needs of today nor the depth of this evil. They couldn't even begin to fathom the death of 3k at the hands of 19 in half a day, Mod
 
So if I understand your thinking:

Some people in Palestine are terrorists. Therefore, being sympathetic to any Palestinians is being sympathetic to terrorists.

Ok, I can play this fun game too!

Some Americans are terrorists. Therefore, being sympathetic to any Americans is being sympathetic to terrorists.

Some (group) are (adjective). Therefore, being sympathetic to (group) is being sympathetic to (adjective).

It's conservative mad libs!!

LOL do you have any idea who rediculus your example is?

The Palestinians elected by popular vote a group dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Thats WAY beyond a few folks supporting terrorism.

America has never once elected a president that supported Christian terrrorism as laughable as that is.

Enjoy your fail. Again.

Well for one, Muslims aren't responsible for Islamic terrorism any more than Christianity being responsible for these: National Abortion Federation: Clinic Violence: Arsons and Bombings

Don't confuse the actions of radicals with the religion. Islam and Christianity are both prefectly acceptable religions to practice; however, far be it from me to interrupt a "my religion is better than all the others" pissing contest if that's what you're seeking. So by all means, carry on.

No but to blame Israel when the Palestinians vote in terrorist shows who libs support. Remember how Gaza celebrated 911?
 
No, if you had any evidence that liberals defend terrorism you'd have posted it by now. The fact that you cling to such a silly notion tells me all I need to know. Perhaps in the future you'd fare better if you steer clear of such partisanship - especially unfactual rhetoric like that.

Whats to prove look at any Israel thread here
 
I love how people say that those that want to keep the definition of marriage traditional are "motivated by religion" as if somehow saying that anyone that is motivated by religion is somehow not as worthy of opinion than those who are not. I wonder what Martin Luther King Jr. would think of such a statement, since those on the other side of his debate were saying the same thing.

I have. Show me a specific example in one of those threads where liberals are defending terrorism.

I'll save you time - you won't.
 
Rock On Iceland!! YES!
 
I spent some time in Iceland. I found it a beautifuly place but a pagan country, and it's people were very immoral. Somehow, this newest abomination doesn't surprise me. Since there is now an active volcano going on., I wouldn't be surprised if the whole island goes up in smoake, soon.

This explains it: Pagans Rock! :)

They defend the Palestinians. The same people that voted terrorist to govern them annd the same people that cheered at 911 when the towers fell

As I expected, no link to a thread supporting your position specifically. Just more partisan rhetoric.

I thought this thread was on gay marriage in Iceland?

You'd think so wouldn't you. But we all knows gays support terrorism, especially gay icelanders... and we all know gay marriage is destroying the fabric of American Marriage. Personally I think it's alcohol, infidelity and gambling. But hey... I'm just a crack pot right :p

So do you think Palestinians should be happy with the USA and all?
 
It's funny you leave out CC, why?

Partisan? No could not be. :roll:

Ah, yeah, this is an excellent point. My position is similar to BD's and texmaster's. I do find it curious that Hoplite nailed the two conservative posters, but not the liberal one who said the same thing. Not good.
 
It's important when the religious philosophy of the church can be influenced by the government.

The key word in your statement is "can". That is not a definitive statement, and unless we know for sure, it really doesn't matter.
 
Captain the religion that is prominent in Iceland is Christianity. However their are many religions in the country

From what I see, about 90% of the population self identifies with an Christian affiliation. The INTENSITY of their beliefs actually means more, though.

Amazing how an issue can be so divisive in the United States but in Iceland someone said "Hey let's legalize same sex marriage" and their entire legislature said "Hey yeah let's do that."



ATTACK ON ARE RELIGIOUS FREEDO-oh wait.

Why can't America be this tolerant?

edit: Comedy option: The volcano eruption was God preemptively smiting them.

What if someone wants to marry their parrot? :shock:
