Gay Marriage

[Binkybobo]

This is disgusting. I can just about wrap my mind about what the issue is. Just admit that you are disgusted by homosexuals. Besides the obvious religious talk, you're just disgusted by homosexuals. Going into great details about what happens in their bedroom and throwing out hurtful stigmas and stereotypes like they got that way from trauma or they want your daughter. We have to protect our children and be on the lookout for anyone that may harm them sure..but that just rubbed me the wrong way. And preferring that children have gay aunt and uncle programs instead a real home? This is ludicrous. It is very sad. I feel for any LGBT person reading this page right now. My eyes tear up for you because I can only imagine what it feels like. I am embarrased that people would openly say some of the ignorant things that they say, but I am vindicated in the fact that I got no response which leads me to believe that I stumped you. Just another example of followers using the bible to spread a message of bigotry.
I myself think the sin of glutton is disgusting! People putting unnatural amounts of food in their bodies. Stretching their bodies out in sick ways...Pooping unnatural amounts of poop out of all kinds of openings. It sickens me,and you know they only got that way because they were molested. Yeah it makes them eat, so you better watch your kids because molested people molest others. I'm not gonna go against my bible! Obese people will have their day in hell for their sins! I don't think kids should be with fat people because they'll get fat and then they'll get made fun of. I think they should just have an assigned fat person to call them on their birthday.

My point is to say that if you truly thought all sin was equal you would be repulsed in the same way by gluttony. If not then you know how ridiculous some of these arguments are.

I guess I read what she said differently. I agree with what you said above but I also believe that God does not have to be included in a marriage to make it legal.

I agree with you too, it would obvious not be a religious marriage, but yes a legal marriage.

Leviticus 18:22
"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin." (NLT)

Gluttony, slavery, marry your rapist, don't eat pork, separate yourself for the week of and week after your period... Genesis-Revelations

You also have no place to preach to me. I will ask my husband what he thinks.

I Corinthians 14:34-35:
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.


Or do we just ignore this one and skip right back to Leviticus?

I completely understand what you are saying but it is a two way street isn't it?

I'm guessing that "some of the people who who fight so hard for tolerance" (as you say) may have been told that they will go to hell, or that their marriage doesn't count as legitimate because they weren't married in a certain type of building, or feel judged by many Christians because they are single and chose to have a child, or because they married outside of their ethnicity, or had their child's funeral picketted, or because they are gay or lesbian.

I live my life in a way that conforms to most Christian standards but there is absolutely no way I would ever affiliate myself with the Christians. For me it is the judgmental hypocrisy that sends me screaming in the opposite direction.
I say let any two adults who love each other marry if they want to. It doesn't take anything away from my marriage at all. lovethisShare the love.lovethis

Ever watched the documentary titled, "Lord, save me from your followers.?" It is a beautiful movie about how the followers preach a radical message of hate and cause people to steer clear of the church. In it a pastor goes to a gay parade and apologizes to all of the gay people for all of the hurtful things they have had to endure. It brought me to tears. Many of them wanted a relationship with God, but had been treated so badly that they never wanted to step foot in a church again.

And? I know many religions that this is still practiced in.

Many woman do ask their husband/have discussions for issues they don't understand. I can think of several families like this in my area.

Also, we aren't in the church when we are discussing it here.

Is it implemented in your home? Why are you here preaching the gospel then? It is clearly written in the scripture that you have no place.

[Binkybobo]

Contradiction and hypocrisy.

See my answer above. Every Sunday and throughout the week my husband and I do have discussions on things that were spoke of at church.

Also, there were woman in the Bible that spoke the word and discussed it.

Do you overeat?
Would you enter into a forced married with your rapist?
Do you eat Christmas ham, pork chops, or bacon?
Would you release your slave at the agreed upon age as written in the scripture?
Do you cover your hair in the sanctuary?

....Seems to me there may be a few posters who may need to take a step back and take a breather.....

This discussion is NOT going to solve the issues and I surely don't want to see what has been a wonderfully intellectual and mature debate turn ugly.....

[Heidi]

My feelings on the subject can be summed up in four words.

Live and let live.

That's pretty much my life philosophy....:hug:
