Marriage laws are identical to both genders. They always have been. No one seemed to have an issue with it for thousands of years....no one seemed to have an issue with it in 1776 when our country was born. Yet, somehow THIS generation seems to think we're smarter than every generation before us. I find that to be arrogant.
Some would call it spiritual and moral evolution.
But obviously, fundamentalists have yet to evolve and likely most won't.
"Typical fundie" - believes in the Bible, pays their tithes, prays for others, helps others in the community through various ministries, believes respect and kindness should be shown to all people.
"Typical atheist" - enjoys bashing and mocking Christians, actually thinks mockery and bullying are a good thing as long as it is against Christians, enjoys tearing down the Bible and people's faith, completely negative if you don't agree with them 100% and believes respect as to be earned first which usually entails bowing down and agreeing with them.
Sorry, I think you got it backwards.
MIRROR mirror, has anyone looked?
Time for a new definition...what good is it to love those who love you? Even the VIPERS do so...
Why, with the large numbers of non-believers on this forum are believers not taking the opportunity to try to win some souls? Missionaries are roaming the world spending precious resources to spread the word of God but on this free forum with a target-rich environment of atheists and fence-straddlers the primary activity of believers seems to be belittling the infidels. There is a multi-page thread of non-believers begging for evidence/enlightenment. Are the atheists here beyond salvation or is this too difficult a playing surface?
Why don't you do it rather than just talk about it?

logic, common sense, and reason. Both believers and non believers are welcome. unlike what some fundies claim, all are welcome in learning and understanding.
Funny, but the highest court in the land thinks differently.
And I am over it, I'm getting MARRIED on the 31st.
Congratulations. God bless your marriage.

Thankfully you do not determine what is and is not a valid marriage.

Amen! The lack of agape love in such views is legion and, therefore, the lack of God in them is as well. How sad that so many otherwise well-meaning human beings have been led to so thoroughly misunderstand God and our purpose on earth. Christian fundamentalists carry a heavy burden.
