Man I am a Christian but you are dead wrong here. Our government is secular and our Christian morals should not be used to segregate a segment of the community. Allowing a group of adults to get benefits legally and financially because of sexual orientation is wrong.
I don't think government should be involved in marriage anyway. If they were not, this whole problem would disappear.
Unfortunately for you,
with or without religion homophilia is a negative behavior for the human species. This is my point, and this my point is to identify what is homosexuality in the first place. We see other species which indeed show some sexual activity between males, and between females, but they do not have anal intercourse. Do you understand?
No one of the species but humans have anal intercourse.
This is to say, that other species know that the function of the rectum is solely to discard sh*t from their bodies.
What about homosexuals? Lets be honest here. Their sexual anal intercourse cause them several diseases and anal bleeding. Their sexual activity is comparable as if they were cutting their arms with fine blades every time they have such kind of intercourse. Now well, police found you cutting yourself your arms with a fine blade and you will be under detention to determine if you want to kill yourself, if you need mental treatment, etc. Is this right? You know that sure it is, because the Constitution was made in a way to preserve the human body's integrity. The same law must be applied if it is known that people is making others to bleed and people allow others to cause them bleeding. Police must make the same detention and find out if these people are trying to kill themselves or if they need mental treatment.
No religion is involved in my point but scientific facts, psychological cataloging and the US law.
By the way, lets see the Christian position by using the book called the bible. For to be fair, we will use both testaments, and you will see that both sides agree that homosexuality is a wrong choice and must be condemned. your Christian religion also condemns homosexuality. If you read carefully
the first testament, the god mentioned in the bible called "dogs" to homosexuals.
Deuteronomy 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Now, go to the last book of the Christian bible, and find out that Jesus revealed that only
righteous will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs (homosexuals), and the sorcerers, and the fornicators. (Revelation 21:14-15)
So, what now my dear Christ follower? Are you going to follow and agree with what the "dogs" say to you, or you are going to follow what Jesus is telling you? Check that if your god agrees that homosexuals are born homosexuals, why is he condemning them? The god father and Jesus are condemning homosexuality because such is the wrong choice, even more, for them such behavior is an abomination.
Now you have more than two witness telling you that homosexuality is wrong from several points of view, and I ask you, if homosexuality is ok for you, then tell me what good comes from homosexuality.
Tell me as well, what kind of "Christian" are you when Christ himself is not accepting homosexuals at all?
I think that you are not a Christian, at least a true Christian, because for to follow a religion denomination it requires submission to what your religion is about, and Christ is against homosexuals, not only homosexuality (the sin) but homosexuals (the sinners).
Learn it, live it, and love it.
