I'm glad the church doesn't accept gay marriage. It serves as a reminder to any rational human being that religion is NOT divinely inspired, there is no God behind it, it's entirely man made, and made by primitive fearful bigots. If I were gay I wouldn't want the blessings of such an inhumane ideology anyway.

@GrizzlyBloodclaw Moreover, who is going to make the sandwich?

[misfitsg17]

Yes

[PappeH]

Oh, and before I forget.....if all those things you claim about me were true....wouldn't my opinion be the exact opposite...? Theology and Philosophy have NOTHING to do with gay rights, and anyone who thinks they do is still living in the bronze age. So yeah...you're a troll.

[PappeH]

...I do have a college degree actually, it's not like they're overtly difficult to obtain. You have yet to explain what's so terrible about gay marriage. I'm gonna to take the safe route and assume you're a troll based on the drivel you just spewed forth. You've made plenty of bigoted, idiotic statements....so let's see them backed? I'm pretty sure you don't have a reasonable argument to explain what's so bad about a gay person getting married.

[Rebbeccasays]

@PappeH No I'm not retarded, in fact I have a college degree. Do you? Like most gay marriage proponents you are probably under the age of 25,dropped out of high school and maybe have a GED. You are an ignorant uneducated beer swilling pothead who watches far too much T.V. and knows nothing about classical theology or philosophy. You think you area free thinker when in fact you walk in lock step with your favorite guru Hugh Hefner like a sad little sheep. Baa Baa. Sad little troll.

[PappeH]

Are you fucking retarded, or just a troll? If you reply, I'll be more than happy to show you why you're wrong. Chances are though, your baseless, illogical comment will take alot of flack....so I'm not expecting a reply.

[Midnight0Mistress]

@Rebbeccasays That's a load of nonsense.

[Rebbeccasays]

Atheists think that if you can't prove to them that there is a God it gives them a free license to do whatever they want. If there is no God then who made the laws and rules that govern human society? People I suppose. So why would people around the world outlaw rape, murder, sodomy, and other crimes? Because to not do so would lead to civil war. Plantation owners used to encourage homosexual relationships among slave men and banned heterosexual marriage among slaves. Gay proponents are dupes.

If there is a god, he's an idiot. A petty, hateful, incompetent idiot.
