  • hello? just checking cause youtube isn't letting me post

  • @TheTCCase ok I have tried several times now to answer comments but it has been blocked

  • nicoleca0427 your a fool. know gods word befor you say something about god.

    1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,

    1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

  • @handyman6042 Translators take a lot of liberties with the original ancient languages of the Bible, both blatant and subtle. The word that was used was the Greek word "Molokoi", the plural form of Molokos, which means soft and weak or lacking courage. The modern western mentality tends to wrongfully equate those qualities with homosexuality. Therefor a translator, being influenced by his/her CURRENT society, perceives this without considering the context or history of the actual text.

  • @TheTCCase

    Gods word is Gods word.

    Try and refute this one then.

    Rom 1:26 For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

    Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

  • @handyman6042 Again read the entire context and refer to original context. Paul was speaking on idolatry and shrine prostitution. In fact he goes on for quite a long time about idolatry but the only thing people zero in on this verse. That tends to happen a lot. The entire New Testament is about loving those that you perceive as different than you and not judging or harming people even if you believe they're sinners. They may enter the kingdom of Heaven before you.

  • @TheTCCase

    2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

  • @TheTCCase

    Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

  • @handyman6042 Er.... neither one of those last two had anything to do with homosexuality.

  • @TheTCCase

    It has everything to do with homosexuals, and our conversation. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us Gods word is profitable for correction and instruction. Do you rely think that god all mighty would give us a bible that did not mean what it says for the last 1500 years? Of course not.

  • @handyman6042 How would that apply if what I'm talking about IS the original text? People only make it say something that it's not saying when they over look the entire chapter in favor of one or two obscure words that can be literally changed into other words with different meanings given the excuse of translation. And if you want to talk about God's word (Assuming you are Christian and believe that Jesus is one in the Holy Trinity with God)... cont'd

  • @TheTCCase

    And in revelations 2:2 the lord said he likes it when we test someone to see if they rely are followers of Christ. Or just liars.

  • Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye

  • @TheTCCase

    #1 Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    I do not do any judging. It is the word of God that does it. So if you want to judge me with the word pleas do.

  • @handyman6042 you said "I do not do any judging" but I quoted scripture on judging because this all started with someone saying that only God can judge. You called that person a fool and claimed that they don't know the word of God. Here are Bible verses clearly from the mouth of God saying only He can judge. And it's not just one obscure time that He says it. It is repeated frequently in the Bible. You claim I think God is wrong but I'm not the one who thinks anyone is wiser than He to judge.

  • @TheTCCase

    What I need you to do is open your mind a little.

    God the father. Jesus the son, and the holy spirit are three but one. There is not time with any of them. The book of life was written before the foundation of the world. Revelations 17:8... Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world.

    Revelations 13:8 … (continued )

  • @TheTCCase

    Jesus is with you now, at the same time he was on the cross thinking of you. With that said. For one to say we need the original text, to understand god. Is to say you do not believe in God or his power.

  • @handyman6042

    so you are to say that you are the only one who understands who God was thinking of on His final hours on the cross and it was only you an not anyone else?

  • @handyman6042 i dont think you need text to understand what's right, or what you think god would approve of

    and if you do, why the filtered and altered text with all your preferences added to it?

  • @TheTCCase

    #2 after coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus we repent of our sins. Not keep doing them.

  • @TheTCCase

    #3 you are not talking to a Sunday only christian. I am filled with the holy spirit that leads me and teaches me all truth in the the lords word.

  • @TheTCCase

    #4 I want you to look up and say, lord Jesus you are not a very good lord. Because you did not fix the bible to say what I think it should say, we had to live with these lies for the last

    399 years.

  • @handyman6042 Neither am I a "Sunday Christian". But this conversation no longer servers any purpose when you chose not to answer any of the facts I have brought forth with actual facts but by merely plugging your ears and saying "nananana liar liar I can't hear you nananan"

  • Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

  • @TheTCCase

    I guess you can ask Jesus if he has any sin. Because all I have used is bible verses.

  • well enjoy it well it is passed. cause if few years when my generation can vote then it will pass and there will be gay marriage.

    I'm sorry honey, but you have no right to judge people. Only god has that right, and he loves everyone.

  • rolling stone was right about this...

  • EPIC FAIL! YOU LOSE!

  • Whether you call it a right or a privilege, it's still discriminatory to take it away from a minority!

  • "The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men" (the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, delivered by Chief Justice Earl Warren in the case Loving vs. the State of Virgina, June 12, 1967).

  • Moron, also trolled

  • are you serious??... the whole world turning gay and humanity going extinct because if gay marriage?,, rational thinking is a new concept for you is it?

    ah yes, gay marriage is actually our secret gay weapon, and one day it will explode and turn the whole world gay at once! mwaha!

    hell, do we ban sterile people from marrying because if the whole world went sterile we would die?

    or paralyzed people? If everyone was paralyzed the world would stop! :O

    "vote no on cripples marriage!"... dumbass.

  • You know, if No had actually addressed the real issues the voters had...

  • Sure you can make those kinds of insane statements but if you so much as try to act on them you'll be locked up and then you'll know what it means to be someone else's bitch. That's called Karma buddy!

  • Watch the video:

    "Home Invasion": Vote NO on Prop 8

    here on you tube, then tell me exactly WHO is spreading hate? Anyone involved in the no on 8 campaign should be extremely embarrassed by such low low tactics.

  • YES ON 8 I AM THERE ION HOLLYWOOD TONGIHT AGAIN WITH THE SIGN I WANT TO PROTECT MARRAIGES ALL DAY...AND I LOVE THE HATERS I GOT CALLED NIGGERS AND ASS HOLES AND EVERYTHING BUT I DIDN'T GET MAD I JUST LAUGH AT IT THE PEOPLE WHO SAY YES LIKE SUPPOSE TO BE MAD BUT IT SEEM LIKE THE NO ON 8 PEOPLE GOT VERY ANGRY PROBLEM.....

    it's american i got to respect your feeling and belief just like you have to with me......

  • I am so confused, I have no idea what you just said. :)

  • (dreaminisfree

    1 man + 1 woman = a real marriage)

    =IGNORANT BIGOT

  • 1 19-year old guy + 1 pregnant 16-year old girl = a real marriage

    LOL

  • not to mention the sanctity of Britney's 24-hour marriage :D

  • 1 man + 1 woman = a real marriage

  • love defines marrige.

    not whats in your pants.

  • Homosexuals..you will not bully california into allowing your vile and disgusting lifestyle down our throats. This is not A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE! THIS IS A SIN ISSUE! Go away if you don't like it move to MASSACHUSETTS...YES ON 8...WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP.....TRADITIONAL MARRAIGE ONLY!!! THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!!

  • Why don't you move to Saudi Arabia? I hear they like crazed religious fundamentalists over there.

  • Thank God we live in the United States of America where the Courts will make this decision and protect a legitimate minority group from the tyranny of the majority religious fascists.

  • evryone is equal.. unless your a murderer or perhaps a child molestor... these people are wasting millions of their dollars to teach and spread hate.. they could have used these money on isssues that are more important... waayy way more important.. If you have a problem with same sex marriage, then dont marry someone in the same sex... it's that simple...

  • Uh you do realize that allowing gay marriage is beneficial for bisexuals right? Bis like both the opposite and same sex. Straight marriage is ALREADY legal...all there is left is to have the gay marriage part. Why does there need to be a bisexual marriage, too? It would just be redundant, no?

  • Someday people against same sex marriage will be commonly known as the bigots they are. They use all the same excuses that people had used to try to prevent interracial marriage. Now we recognize that people against interracial marriage are bigots. What's the difference?

  • SUX2BGAY THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY!

  • Dear Homosexual community our message is clear. We will not allow your vile and disgusting lifestyle be shoved down the throats of our children! We will fight to the death to keep gays from taking marriage. The people have spoken. We win!!! yes on 8

    yes on 8 wins!!!!!!!

    yes on 8 wins!!!!!!!

  • Loveet, I'm sorry, but you are one sad, sad, human being.

  • Actually I am very happy today hmmmm I wonder why??? Oh yea prop 8 protected my children! Thanks to all the wonderful california voters

  • protected from what??? gays are not a danger!!

  • child molestors

  • child molestors?? it's crazy! gays are normal people: there are good persons and bad persons. as among the priests...

  • child molestors? it's crazy! gays are normal people: there are good persons and bad persons. as among priests...

  • PROTECTED YOUR CHILDREN?

    from what? gays? they're still PEOPLE

    it's not their fault they are gay, it's just

    the way they are.

    and who cares if your children become gay

    let them be happy and be the way they want

    to be. they don't always have to be like they're

    parents.

    NO ON 8

  • child molestors

  • CHILD MOLESTERS!? You seriously think all homosexuals are child molesters? What about your friend?! And wow, what about all those priests who abuse their authority and the children who trust them? It's almost a cliche now when you hear of a dirty priest.

    Open-minded people want kids to be TOLERANT of homosexuals. Gays aren't about RECRUITING-- you can't force someone to be gay just like you can't force someone to be straight.

  • you asked if I feel guilty restricting her right? Ok I believe there is a helland I believe in the book of roamns were it talks about hell if you enable homosexuals. You didn't ask if she feels guilty asking me to give up my salvation in heaven for a VOTE?? See it really goes to hte heart of asking christians to deny getting into heaven..becaseu that is what it boils down to.Some believe that a vote for hoomosexuals would be a ticket to hell?? does that help you try to understand it

  • Actually, yes a little bit. I see why now it's pretty much a do-or-die thing for you. Out of curiosity, what do you think about Christians who are anti-prop 8 (I was pretty surprised to meet a few)? When I asked them, they said they believed they were doing the right thing b/c god preaches love, compassion, etc. Technically, they're doing so out of love for god's teachings.

  • Dear LOVEEET,

    Uh, isn't LOVE in your nick? I think YOU'RE vile and disgusting for harboring so much hatred. Gays want to get married B/C they LOVE EACH OTHER. Straights divorce all the time! How is more love ever a problem? Have gays EVER treated you w/ disrespect w/o YOU belittling them first? I will fight to the death to keep people like you from poisoning the minds of my children.

    FYI: NOWHERE ON PROP 8 DOES IT SAY THAT SCHOOLS WILL BE FORCED TO TEACH ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY.

  • by the way my best friend from third grade is gay and she will always be my best friend

  • How does that make ANY sense. How can you call her your best friend when you think she leads a 'vile and disgusting' life. How can she be your best friend if you wouldn't trust her around your children? I thought that if people like you met gays who you respected and cared for, your viewpoints would change. Obviously I was wrong to hope that love could transform hatred. If you really care for her, you should tell her that she could have better friends who would love every aspect about her.

  • Why do assume that I can't have my religious convictions and not be friends with gays?? It makes no sense. I have the right to believe the bible is one hundred percen the word of god and vote that way..I also respect her right to VOTE NO. i RESPECT THAT THIS IS AMERICA. I don't love her any less...My best friend is gay and I am a born again christian. We don't viloate each others right to vote how we want to

  • Yes, you both have the right to VOTE how you want to--I'm not arguing that. I'm just confused because you use all of these negative, harsh words to describe gay people and their lifestyle. Does your friend not find that offensive? That you feel the need to "protect" your children from them? I'm honestly just curious now- your friend is OK w/ you being so vehemently against something that is so inherently a part of her? Is she the one exception? Do you feel guilty at all restricting her rights?

  • Honestly here is how is went down..You have a friend since 3rd grade around 16 she started acting different and I said one evening to her these very words. "we have been best friends since that day on the playground and I don't agree with your lifestyle ..she said I don't agree with your religion(i was raised in religious home)SO WE agreed not to let a friendship end but I don't talk about god and she won't talk about her "stuff at night" if you know what I mean. we agree 2 no religion no sex!

  • Alright, if you and your friend can do that, I'm impressed that you've managed to keep your friendship mutually exclusive from other issues. But you still haven't really answered my question about how she feels about you using words like "vile" or "disgusting." I mean, has your friendship not shown you that gays are not all delinquents, just like straights are not all saints?

    I realize my replies have been "heated," but now I'm more just trying to understand how you deal with these issues.

  • Yes on Prop 8! for our kids future

  • If 8 passes we should return to the "tradition" of discriminating against interracial marriage.

    It's traditional for us to discriminate against people based on the way they're born.

    Lets take it a step further and go back to traditional ways of not having women or blacks voting...

  • HONEYBITCH YOU RACIST IDIOT!!

  • EMANCP8, I was being sarcastic, but I suppose it was way over your head, kid.

  • So was I buddy!

  • heh, dumb.

  • LOVEEET

    If that's what you want to do, write that down and put it in a proposition, because prop 8 says nothing about any of that being legal or illegal.

    By the way, the Briggs initiative failed 30 YEARS AGO.

  • Last week kindergartners at Faith Ringgold School in Hayward, CA, were asked to sign pledge cards saying they would not use anti-LGBT language.

    Parents who felt their children were far too young for such a discussion, most at an average age of 5 who are just learning the basics of reading and writing, were not permitted to opt-out, but instead had to keep their children home.

    What is LGBT? Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender

    A 5 year old needs to understand bisexuality? NOT

    VOTE YES on 8!

  • Right because there is something fundamentally harmful about asking young children not to discriminate. What a vile and disgusting human being you are. I would expect nothing less from a bigot like you.

  • Am I willin to eliminate rights for homosexuals to teach homosexuality in school......yes!!!!!!!

    yes on 8

  • Im willing to tell you to fuck off and stay out of other peoples relationships :D

  • IT DOESNT ELIMINATE RIGHTS DUMB ASS!

  • Actually, it eliminates the right of gay people to marry.

    If you're against gay marriage because of your religion, that is fine, but this is about people outside of your religion.

    This is about your gay neighbors down the street who are say Buddhist, voting yes on 8 would eliminate their right to marry.

    Is this really justifiable as a human being to say "You can't do this because I don't like it." ?

  • no on h8te

  • NO ON PROP H8!

  • This is stupid. Vote yes on 8.

  • Here's what the arguments for both sides should have been.

    No on 8: Civil Liberties are set in place to protect minorities from the will of the majority. Thus, the judges decision was just and legal.

    Yes on 8: A legal union between a man and a woman is called Marriage. If something does not follow this equation it should be called something else, with all the rights, privilages, and financial responsibility as a married couple...AKA Domestic Partnerships.

    End of story

  • then tell all the kids whose parents are gay that their parents can't raise them anymore, see how angry they get.

  • I didnt have a mother or father, my parents left me do die.

  • Children have a right to be raised by parents of either gender. Children also have a right to be raised by a single parent. There are far too many children who don't have any parents. You're extremely bigoted and narrow in your view.

  • No tristenure the world has always had gay and lesbian people in it. It's just that your world denied that reality for a long time and you just thought that was the real world. Sorry you're wrong!

  • Yeah there have been gay people since the dawn of *time*

  • I think a good commercial for No on Prop 8 would be a camera shot outside of a bedroom and you hear two guys having sex (EE Err ee er) "oh yeah....smack it...mmmm"

    Then it just ends with

    "Equality for all....No on prop 8"

    At least that would focus more on the real issue at hand.

  • that is the sound you made last night while i fucked you in the ass.

  • That would be a great heterosexual video to hear a man and a woman having sex and doing sex games and such and then read the caption "please protect heterosexual marriage." You're such an absolute dumbass and show your bigotry just as clear as a bell minurhs.

  • You're reading my mind, That that the other commercial I was going to shoot for.

    Lets face it, sex in the butt just seems disgusting and gross don't you think? The penis is suppose to go into a vagina. Am I wrong? Or can we just stick it in anything now?

  • You're such a simple minded bigot. There are male mammals like Bison who have anal sex. It's not all about pro-creation and overpopulating this planet that is so overpopulated that we're about to ruin it. Sex is also about nurturing, connecting two people together in love and a symbol of commitment in a committed relationship. There are also straight people who have anal sex. These things are a private matter between the couple.

  • As a woman who loves women your ignorance and bigotry is vomit-inducing. Please keep your opinions to yourself. Blech!

  • you're a woman who loves woman? got any videos?? :)

  • by the way, a bigot is someone who is intollerant of someones beliefs or opinions. So calling someone a bigot and then telling them to keep their opinions to themselves is pretty hypocritical....and a sign of bigotry

  • I'm also intolerant of your horrible spelling and punctuation.

    It's not often that I tell people to keep their opinions to themselves, but guys like you (meaning homophobic a-holes who say shit like two guys having sex is gross but salivate at the thought of 2 women) make me especially sick.

  • If you didn't understand the sarcasm, that's your problem. Lighten up a bit...what, do you have something up your ass too? LOL

  • The like of you does not deserve to interact with me, OK?

    Sarcasm, right that's what it was. Uh huh. I've unfortunately come across your type enough times to spot you from a mile away. You make me sick.

    I won't be responding to anything else from you. Get your jollies somewhere else. I'm sure you have high speed internet.

  • LOL!! "the likes of you" "from a mile away"

    What are you 10?

  • Well the California Supreme Court will make that decision and they won't put up with tyranny, religious bullying and a California theocracy controlled by a bunch of "Christian control freak" KoolAid drinkers.

  • correction, VOTE NO :)

  • I'd vote no for sure if I was an american citizen, or californian, or whatever you need to be to vote... I've never quite understood what some people are afraid of about homosexuality. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

  • African American citizens were not treated equally in our country of Freedom and equality. But Martin Luther did not cry out for all African Americans to be called white, he called out for the equality that all should have - as Americans

    Vote Yes on 8 - it is a definition we are voting on here, not rights, and its not about making  domestic partnership the same, it is about maintaining traditional marriage as different.

  • Vote NO on 8

  • Stop the hate, vote yes on 8. Send miserable homos and their poor choices back into the shadows.

  • here's a closet homosexual.

  • Obama and Biden are not for homosexual marriage, and either am I. Stop the hate, vote yes on 8.

  • Hatred only brings more hatred. Stop the hate. Vote NO!

  • Not sharing the same opinion is not hate you stupid cracker. Hate is when you have to worry about facing lynchings, hangings, beatings, having your families ripped apart, and never getting an education.

  • Yet both Obama and Biden have said they would vote NO on prop 8 because it is discriminatory.

  • Well gee, I help run an Obama election office and I can promise you that he does not support "gay marriage". What are you people smoking?

  • his PERSONAL belief is that he doesn't support gay marriage but in terms of government, he doesn't support prop 8 because it's discriminatory. Separation of Church and State.

  • I love my gay friends but I will vote yes on 8?? what kind of friend are you? Don't let the Mormon Church fool you! They were "programmed" by the Church to spread hate and discriminate! We have a chance to vote for a President that will unite ALL Americans, including our gay brothers and sisters! The Mormon Church from Utah decided to spread hate and donate 9 million dollars by using innocent kids to get your vote! FEAR TACTIC! Don't let them fool you! VOTE NO ON 8 VOTE NO ON HATE!

  • New reports show that nearly sixty thousand LDS Church members have contributed some twenty million dollars to support Proposition 8, representing nearly 80 percent of all reported pro-Prop. 8 money. Don't let the LDS Church rewrite our Constitution with hate! Don't let the Mormons fool you! The Mormon Church is using innocent kids, teaching them HATE to get your vote! LDS Church=HATE!

    We can make a better world and do what's right! Please vote NO on HATE VOTE NO on 8!

  • God is the one who designed us froggiskools. If he had wanted marriage to be between two same sex people he would have designed our bodies that way too, but that's not my main point. See that commercial was cut, because what she should have said is "NO...that's why family code 297.5 exists already. They are already protected, I don't have to worry about that and I have the freedom to vote Yes on prop 8 and still make it to bbq next time maria and her partener julia show up."

  • Thank you, rave82000, for clarifying how ridiculous this rhetoric on discrimination, hate and "civil rights" is. Not a single civil right of gays is at stake with prop 8. Marriage has never been a right. The only rights at stake here are those of children who, all other things equal, do best raised by a father and a mother. I support gay rights, and I support prop 8. I love all of my gay friends and family, and I'm voting YES on 8. There's no hate in YES on 8.

  • Children's rights AREN'T at stake, because prop 8 does not mandate who can or can't raise children, or that every child MUST have a Mom & DAD. This is another false irrelevant point. Prop 8 discriminates people due to gender, and under CA's Constitution, THAT IS a violation of civil rights. NO on 8!

  • Hundreds of rights will disappear in an instant for same-sex couples on Nov. 5th if this misguided prop passes. From denial of workplace spousal health insurance coverage to making life-and-death medical decisions for a sick spouse across state lines, so many significant rights are reserved ONLY for marriage.

  • Constitutional amendments like Prop 8 that have passed in other states have been used as a wedge to begin stripping away whatever domestic partnership rights gays and lesbians have. Prop 8 will be used that way too if it passes. Don't try to legislate your religious views onto others. Vote NO ON 8.

  • No is right! NO on Prop 8 because it's unfair and discriminatory to take away the rights of families. I'm going to vote NO because as a person of faith, I believe in equality for all.I That is what God stood for.

  • It pains me to think that anyone's equal rights are being put to a popular vote. Please vote down Prop 8 and treat all people, and love, equally. Some people suggest civil unions would be best suited for gay couples but I say "separate but equal" has never been the American way. It's wrong to have different laws for different people. Vote NO on Prop 8.

  • NO on 8! Equality for ALL.

  • Great ad!

  • Yes, needs to be stronger. compare the pursuit of justified prejudice against GLBTs with Apartheid. Underline, it happened there and it's STILL happening here!

  • Excellent video!!! Also, congratulations to the State of Connecticut for joining California and Massachusetts as the 3rd State in the United States of America to allow for same-gender marriages! Hooray!

    California - Vote "NO" on Prop. 8!

    Arizona - Vote "NO" on Prop. 102!

    Florida - Vote "NO" on Amendment 2!

  • Bravo!

  • no on 8 is taking the high road. commendable

  • Make the ads more personal.

  • The ads need to be more hard-hitting. How about an ad highlighting Mark Buse, McCain's gay Chief of Staff. The ad would ask viewers if it is right to strip McCain's most trusted advisor of his civil rights.

    The same ad could also feature California Congressman David Dreier and ask the viewer if it's right to strip a gay Congressman of his civil rights. In the final scene, you see Mary Cheney and her wife Heather Poe (with the rest of the Cheney family by their side).

  • Prop 8 is about changing the meaning of a centuries old word. Are we going to start calling Apples and Oranges both Apples? I have given my employees equal benefits. I have voted for GBLT rights, but don't change the meaning of a word that had religious significance long before it had a legal meaning. Restore the definition of Marriage. Vote YES on 8!(And as a group, quit taking my yard signs, do the people you represent even know the meaning of bigot?)

  • The definition of marriage has changed many times (polygamy used to be common in marriage, marriages used to be arranged or only between people of the same race).

    The only changing marriage are those voting for prop 8. You are giving marriage a static definition that it has never had. You are taking away rights and for the first time in US history, discriminating against a group of people via the constitution.

  • The definition of marriage, until recently, has ALWAYS been between opposite sexes. Yes, there have been laws on who could or could not marry. Interracial, Polygamy but the spouses have always been of the opposite sex. Arranged marriage between same-sex couples? I dont think so! We are not trying to discriminate against same-sex couples. We are trying to Protect & Preserve Marriage which has had deep religious meaning far longer than its been a legal shortcut to Federal tax benefits.

  • The religious meaning for marriage for you is entirely different than it is for me. Should the government not recognize Hindi or Buddhist marriages because they are not the same religious meaning as yours? No.

    This is marriage in the eyes of the state, not in the eyes of your religion.

  • If religion has no place in state affairs, then what about the other way around! Why did government STEAL our sacred word and use it to establish a legal union to give out tax benefits and such? I can answer that in case you dont know. This country was FOUNDED on religious principals and FAMILY values. The founding fathers wanted freedom from having a particular church forced on them but they still believed in God and HIS laws. Give back our word and go make up your own!

  • Marriage didn't start with religion.

    Marriage started as a contract.

  • I would have to disagree. I believe marriage is far more than a simple contract. I believe it is a covenant between God, a man and his wife. Covenant and contract are similar, but I think of contracts as a legal document enforced by manmade laws. The Marriage Covenant is much more. Its a solemn agreement between God and heterosexual couples. If we obey that covenant we will be blessed spiritually & temporally. I believe God married Adam & Eve long before man created contracts.

  • I feel that you have the write to enter just a covenant with God. But you cannot possibly claim that the current legal definition of marriage includes that. Celebrities and their 1 week marriages? Marriages between atheists?

    Clearly "marriage" as legally defined does not involve God.

    So unless you wish to ban atheists from marriage, it is hypocritical to ban homosexuals from it. You SHOULD keep your covenant with God if you chose to. But don't confuse that with "marriage" as it stands now.

  • But the word Marriage has had sacred religious meaning before it was used as a legal term. If the law wants to come up with another word for Civil Marriage thats fine, it can even be the same word as for Civil Unions. Our founding fathers were religious and our ancestors didnt mind them applying legal meaning to the word Marriage but its going too far. I think most in the US want to restore the definition of Marriage to mean opposite sexes.

  • Yes, the word "marriage" once meant something different. So did most words. Including words we use regularly, such as "abandon" which meant "subdue", or "Sabbath" which meant "Saturday", or "toilet" which was a bag to hold clothes.

    Words change over time. "Marriage" is one of those words. Perhaps you need a new word to describe a religious ceremony? Because "marriage" no longer does any such thing.

    Or, as I said, you will have to ban atheists from "marriage".

    Come up with a new, religious word.

  • Many of the important founding fathers were DEISTS actually. This country was founded on religious freedom, not religion. The bible did not create marriage. Marriage has been around in almost every society. The constitution makes no mention of marriage actually.

    Also, ideas such as "do not lie/murder/steal" have not been tolerated in any society, they are not unique to your bible.

    Maybe you should consider opening a text book not made in the 1950's.

  • Pt. 1) If you really study the founding fathers religious beliefs youll find that virtually ALL of them had strong Christian upbringing and values. Take Benjamin Franklin for example, a self proclaimed Deist was raised by parents who left England because of persecution. He was baptized & raised as a Presbyterian. Shortly before he died he said this of Jesus Christ: I think the System of Morals, as he left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see. continued...

  • 1&2- I have many similar "Christian values." I was raised in a Christian home, but I am not a Christian and neither was Franklin. As for everything else, those were all "I believe" statements because there is no concrete evidence to lead you to that conclusion.

    Just as a PS: JC never condemned homosexuality. It is condemned in the Levitcial Laws and by Paul (which he states "this is my opinion" at the begging of Romans)

  • Pt. 2) The reason Franklin fought the religions of the day, he felt they were all corrupt and I would agree. I believe in Apostasy and falling away from Christs true teachings (the dark ages), but I also believe that God inspired the founding fathers to prepare the way so that Christ was able to restore his true Gospel to the Earth. The Covenant of Marriage existed before this world was created. MAN later took the word Marriage and used it as a legal term. Please give it back!  continued.

  • Pt.3) Text books were MUCH more accurate in the 50s than today. Textbooks on EVERY subject today are filled with errors, half truths, misconceptions and even outright lies. The SAME data is being used today to substantiate global warming that was used in the 60s to substantiate and warn of the coming ice age. Textbooks are a joke! The mistakes have been increasing dramatically since the 1950s. And many publishers feel it will get worse before it gets better. Dont trust modern Textbooks!

  • 3- Wow. Just wow. Your ignorance could fill the grand canyon shut. There is not much further I can do with you. But I will tell you that science is constantly correcting itself and constantly gaining new data, all of which suggests that global warming is caused by man and needs to be fixed.

  • Wow is right! The largest convention on Global Warming ever held was made up mostly of politicians & journalists plus a few scientists. They overwhelmingly voted that Global Warming is real! Oops, when count came in 100% of the scientists said it was a joke, 100% of the journalists & most of the politicians voted that it was real Remember the video talking about the huge iceberg that melted? They found it BEFORE the movie came out and it was actually BIGGER! Are you listening to liars?

  • Heaven help us if you ever have a leadership position in our nation. You're truly screwed in the head and need to see a doctor.
