That's probably how long it took her to read the 'WHOLE' bible.

And that's exactly why none of them will bother to read it.

Good point. As was women owning property, interracial marriage, slavery, and dozens of other societal injustices that have slowly been righted throughout the course of history.

Equal marriage is simply another leap of progress to a better world.

I think that puts rather a large dent in your argument.

Cause, you know.... being in a loving committed relationship is exactly like sexually abusing children, rape and murdering people.

Oh wait.... using an 'argument' like that is about as idiotic as a person can get.

Actually Jesus would say to a lot of so called "Christians" like you what he said in Matthew 23. Try reading it.

Yes, how dare people want to love and accept others and treat them like they would themselves...

oh wait...

Why aren't you promoting that slavery is okay? It was fine with your 'god'.

So was kidnapping and raping young girls. Want to promote that too?
