Sorry no...in the case of "Christianity" it's the whole book...or none of it ;)

Ole Jerry there knows it.

Not necessarily....I mean what do you think the whole disconnect between Catholicism and Protestant is all about?
 
Let's not wander just yet Jer....

Is your Bible the Word of your God?

At this point in the tangent you will need to show how any bible being the word of God or not is relevant to whether or not gay marriage promotes the family. If it has nothing to do with the thread then this discussion belongs in the religion forum.

I always wonder why in almost every gay thread, gay supporters try to sidetrack the discussion into a bashing of religion.

I wonder if the churches which marry gays appreciate their hate speech.

Remind me again. What are the non religious reasons to be opposed to gay rights?
 
Meaning of course you don't like being pinned down by someone who can do it;)

I get it.

IF your "Bible" is NOT the absolute "Word" of your "God"..the ONLY basis for any opinion you might have on this subject is just that your opinion based upon no real substance of anything but your own "perceived" intellectualism.

You do know that the OP didn't mention God...

SSM furthers the 50% divorce rate, and yes that's a curse against hetero-marriage as well. The institution needs broad reform, and no SSM legislation penned or supposed offers a solution even as an afterthought let alone as the main thrust.

the same as the ones to be opposed to incest and bestiality...it's gross and yucky ;)

Of the 2 of us, you're the only one quoting scripture.

Is that the best you got?

Same sex marriage does not "add" to the 50% divorce rate of heterosexual marriages because much of the same reasons that heterosexual marriages end at that rate also affect same sex marriage.

As such, your statement is clearly disingenuous, and simply lacking any substance. I'm disappointed. Try again.

Ahhh a coward....I should have seen that coming.

Poor little Religious Zealot.....you don't mind screaming it to everyone here...but you don't like being pinned.

I'm not "hijacking" anything, just trying to get you (who brought up Religion before I did) to give us the Religious basis for your position....

Now, run along and cry to mommy.

You mean how many times have pro-SSM on this forum insisted that gays are just like everyone else? Virtually every SSM thread. If they're like us, then since we have a 50% divorce rate, so will they. If you're saying that gays will not also have a 50% divorce rate, then you're saying that gays are different, and you need to illustrate those difference.

I could go fishing for specific posts tonight if you wish.

At least your answer is more honest than Jerry's. Of course, it demonstrates that this is an issue of sensiblities.

no, i don't think there are divorce stats with any meaning available on ssm. you stated they would further the 50% divorce rate, a statement with no authority. however, even if they did.......so what? we don't deny hetero marriage because a couple might divorce, do we?

I said "furthers", not "add". Notice how the words are spelled differently.
 
Is this better Jerry?

Gosh don't get hurt feelers...but do put your zealotry in perspective so that one might....evaluate it's merit.

You brought it up....you should explain..in the interest of honersty....of course.

Um...that doesn't change the fact that it is terrible reasoning. The factors that lead to a 50% divorce rate in heterosexual couples are the same as those that influence same sex couples. As such, you can't use divorce as a justification for denying same sex couples the right to marry.
