Wow..

How about TWO CONSENTING ADULTS...

See.. in your ridiculous Pedophile argument.. one of the participants is not an ADULT and probably isn't CONSENTING...

I mean using your wickedly out of this world futile argument.. Why do we let heterosexuals get married? Aren't there heterosexual Pedophiles out there?

Holy crap that is a weak argument..

Do ya really believe that only clothes make the man?
That a man who wears dresses can only be homosexual or bisexual?
Or are ya saying that a woman who acts butch and macho can't be a heterosexual woman at all?

I was just trying to make a point that tolerance for devaint lifestyles would mean tolerance for all...not just for some. Sin is still sin no matter how we try to sugar coat it...get my point? We can't call evil good when God clearly tells us that it is not.

Like I said in an earlier post...I don't give a mouse's behind what people wear or who they sleep with...that is their business. If that guy wants to run around in his frilly lingerie and look like an idiot, more power to him. I do, however, have a problem with him professing to be a "Christian" and living a sinful lifestyle that is totally against the teachings of God while claiming that lifestyle is acceptable to God. That is the problem I have with him...we are not be tolerant of anyone who continues living a sinful lifestyle especially when they've been shown that it is sinful and have no intention of changing their behavior. This is an extremely offensive witness to me, and should be to anyone, who proclaims to love the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

And I'm simply pointing out that your "point" makes no sense... at all.

I'll say it again:

Gay marriage would have zero affect on the legal status of pedophilia. Why?

1. Pedophilia has nothing to do with Gay marriage
2. Gay marriage & heterosexual marriage (also know as opposite marriage to Miss Carrie Prejean) is between TWO CONSENTING ADULTS.

Pedophilia is between 1 Adult and 1 Youth. Its understood by law that the "Youth" is NOT CONSENTING.

So your argument holds no water because the introduction of what you call "deviant" behavior having a legal status does NOT.. in ANY WAY.. overturn existing legal statutes..

now.. if you believe that we as a nation will somehow become more accepting of pedophilia BECAUSE we ultimately accepted and legalized Gay Marriage.. then you might have a leg to stand on. And by leg I mean a tack made of balsa wood submerged for 10 hours in water that has gasoline poured on it and then lit on fire... so suffice to say.. no leg to stand on.

We have an infrastructure in this country that does nothing to PROTECT children.. youths.. what have you. To even think that this country would somehow legalize.. pedophilia is absolutely reprehensible in my book and anyone who uses that as an example of why Gay Marriage shouldn't happen.. should be ashamed of themselves.

Guess what.. U.S. Law is not predetermined based on what is written in the bible. What you think is a "sin" has no basis for legality in this country. U.S. Law really doesn't care what your beliefs are. U.S. law is predicated in basis on the Constitution..

I mean good god we have criminal laws out at a FEDERAL level protecting against this..

I guess you think that if Gay Marriage is legalized all these criminal laws will magically just disappear.. ~poof~

ZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM....did you see that point that went totally over your head and past you?

OMGoodness....we are talking about Gods rules here not secular society. We already know how corrupt and ungodly our laws are, there is no need for a reminder.

so what non-secular society rights were you referring to in the above quote?

but you are right..

ZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM.... your own comment went right over your head. Congrats.. I hear that is a difficult thing to do.

No. How about you quit witnessing to those people that aren't interested in your brand of crazy? If someone shows up at your church, feel free to witness. If someone knocks on your door and asks you for religious advice, feel free to witness. But don't witness without an invitation or you just look like an a$$.
