Seriously, how many times do you have to tell a homosexual that marriage is a religious rite and thus between a man and a woman. They want the same rights as a married couple and they can get that with a civil union. I cannot see why after it has been explained a trillion times on city-data that the same question is repeatedly asked. Christians believe that homosexual acts are sinful per the Bible and let's face it people, it is not like eating shellfish nor does it do the physical and psychological damage that homosexual acts inflict. I see no way to make it easier to understand that those that oppose it for religious reasons do so because they feel it is sinful. I believe it is sinful and a mental health condition which needs to be addressed. It is so simple. You choose the behavior; you choose the consequences.

For the trillionth time: Secular society should give two craps about what religious people feel is a "sin."

Your "sin," YOUR problem. Not anyone else's.


Oh, and save us your armchair psycho-babble. You aren't qualified, and Lord knows (no pun intended) America doesn't take its educational direction from KANSAS.

Comprende hombre?

Most people that don't believe in chirst, couldn't care less how those that do feel.
The problem is when the religious people, some but not all, try to force feed their bible beliefs and say that all is wrong, you are wrong, your life is wrong and so on.

That's my source from an article that says HOMOSEXUALITY is not even mentioned in the new Testament -!

ROMANS CHAPTER ONE is another source! I can quote many verses in new testament that say it is WRONG!

Oh that's right!(sarcasm)- god doesn't even exist ( you can't possibly prove that).

FACT: the lands of Sodom & Gomorrah are inhabitable Just as God Promised; Nothing can grow there after the destruction of those two huge cities because of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is the downfall of every civilization that adopted it!

ROFLMAO Looks like your wrong again and again and again Nephler! And how many children do you have mr. expert?? You teach your children gay is OK?
This is for you:


Gay Marriage : Foamy The Squirrel - YouTube

Also "Thou shalt not judge"

Learn your commandments. Thanks.

It's called cherry-picking. It's what religious people do to make their ancient religions still relevant in a modern society.

Yeah the whole book in case you haven't understand it is.. Man rebels against God and they do things that are wrong!

Everyone in the bible - was a murder in case you hadn't noticed yet! The whole book is about the Redemption of Mankind through a savior!!

Its that simple! but you keep pointing fingers and saying.. look at what he did! Of course... God says (concerning mankind) The whole head is sick - the whole heart is corrupt - there is none that doeth good - no not one. (this forum is proof of that). So why are you so surprised when you see an illustration of the depravity of man??

In fact you even agreed with it; by stating it was "family values? Even you knew that was wrong! Or was it allowed then? Remember Cain married his sister and had children (because it was allowed to populate the earth). The first people(s) lived for many hundreds of years then it was dropped down to 120 years and Moses died on his 120th birthday.

The depraved you speak of are rewarded and protected by God.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for your version of what is "Godly."
