There are no rights being taken away from you. Same sex weddings take place all the time. Same sex couples can also enter into any legal arrangements they wish.

What same sex couples want is to force those of us who do not agree, into accepting their lifestyle - by force and by law.

Now who's forcing their morality on others? It is the homosexual community.

Oh, and I know what you are going to say to my comment. You will say "you have no right to stop people from getting married"

So, I guess that means we should let people marry cousins and closely related family members. People can marry non humans....Dogs, cats, a tree, a car. Anything goes!

You may say "those examples are ridiculous"

Well, they don't disprove the point that we can say who can and cant get married.

So, who has the right to say who can and cant get married? The people do.

The evolution of our understanding of marriage cannot be dismissed with the same flippancy as fashion styles. Marriage laws once kept women in a lesser position. There were institutionalized gender roles. This is no longer the case. As we have moved through time, as we have fought through civil rights and equal rights, marriage laws have changed. Marriage is not the static institution it is portrayed as. So what is there to protect? We will learn to see gay marriage the same way.

Jesus does not care where the moneymaking fool in this video sticks his little pee-pee. He has bigger things to worry about.

Except you are the one who doesn't follow Jesus's teachings. You are the one who is corrupted, not me.

You can feel it all you want. But you are flat out wrong. And if you read your bible you would know.

[Rodier1128]

I fell exactly the same way ^.^

[girzwald3]

You just dont get it. Im done with you; you are corrupted beyond repair. Ive wasted more time then someone like you deserves.

[Rodier1128]

How do I not lead an example like his? I dont go around pushing people over and not feeling guilty about it. Thats kind of the point. When you KNOW something is wrong. You also should treat people like you would want to be treated. we could always just eliminate marriage, then it would be fair.

But thats outlandish.

[Rodier1128]

Im pretty sure you can legally marry your cousin in New Hampshire.

And if someone wants to marry a Cat, they go ahead (As long as the cat is of legal age though...) Its not really our problem unless we are the ones doing it. Cause then we worry about what people like you think. Now, a car is kind of a ridiculous example. its not alive.

You are not a christian. Well,acctually you are, you are exactly the kind of christian Satan wants. By name only, and not by deed or thought. You do not lead by example like Christ taught. You can tolerate sins that you have no right stop, but you dont have to accept or approve of them.I could list a whole bunch of things as to why homosexuality hurts others and society but you will dismiss them as merely "my opinion"

You subscribe to moral relativism. Possibly one of satans greatest weapons.
