Christians do not want to limit anyone's human rights or personal dignity. On the contrary, Christians want to see the social advance and well being of our society and more than anything wants to see all people come to a perfect understanding of self and freedom from any manner of spiritual bondage by the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. who is above everything else in
@sandworm3 if that is the case then religious leaders sholdnt have imposed their interpretations on the scriptures they use to begin with and shouldnt have redefined it as between one man and one woman.. and it was polygime that was the bases for that definition, not gay marriage, but then if you want to strengthen marriage then alowing gay marriage can only do just that..
@bearsagainstevil yes to anyone who wasnt one of their own, but for some one who was it was somewhat simular to how native americans saw them as two spirited. at least if i remeber it correctly.. and besides your argument is a strawman argument.. as most acredited psycologists agree there is nothing wrong with gays, there is something wrong with the interpretation of said scriptures and the ideology and mentality behind those interpretations.. even if you arent religous. its the same process
@scorand my understanding is vikings very much despised homosexuals , some would use homosexual rape as a means of breaking someones spirit , but to be accused of being on the receiving side of a homosexual relationship was considered a grave insult
I hope that one day very soon, people will open their eyes and see the true definition of love. its not whats between the legs but within the heart. We arn't trying to tell you that your religion is wrong, so why do they wanna take away our rights?
@GodCreatesGays2 a fractured state is not a reason to water down and redefine the definition. When laws aren't working, legislators try to fix them. We should strengthen marriage, and many are beginninig to do just that. We've been down this road already, but the moral order of things is marriage between a man and a woman. One husband and one wife. All sexual activity outside of marriage is sin, straight or gay. Gay marriage doesn't somehow legitimize the behavior, it's still gay sex.
@sandworm3 writes, "If we fail to recognize what we do as sin, how does the mediator represent us with grace and mercy? I think the heart of the problem is placing sexuality as a priority ahead of God."
Since gay people are no more guilty of 'sin" than straights are in this regard, there's no valid, rational reason why they, and only they, must lose the privilege and rights of marriage, when it's the heterosexual community which is actually responsible for its current, fractured state.

Norseczar, believe me, someone like you, who has no relationship with or understanding of God, cannot hope to speak for Him.

Gay people suffer a mental problem because God didn't make man to lay with another man but to lay with a woman. Get some help queers. LOL
