Religion and Gay Marriage

Are you ready for a Nerdy Valentines Day? http://bit.ly/WekHqK
In which John discusses marriage equality, what a traditional marriage actually is, and what role (if any) theological understandings of marriage play in the legal definition of marriage. Let's continue this conversation in comments, but in doing so, let's remember that nerdfighteria is about respect and generosity. Thanks.

Thank you for bringing up intersex people! It really burns me when people completely dismiss them when referring to "one man" and "one woman." Since there are about 7 billion people on the planet right now, that means there are approximately 35 MILLION intersex people, and they have every right that anyone else has to love, be loved, and make commitments.

I never understood why other religions are always imposing their beliefs on others. If you don't believe in gay marriage, that is your opinion to keep to yourself. I don't see why the entire society needs to be restricted by that belief.

Where is Hank's video?

It makes me sad when people use God as an excuse to be homophobic. I'm pretty sure God doesn't want to be used as ammo for discrimination.

[cthulhucallscollect]

WOW,....I think he was REALLY clear that this was not a debate on the existance of God.Only equal rights.

[donbsea]

You might as well switch the word "God" in your rants for Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, or King Broccoli, because they are all a, well...fairy tale.

To date is no proof of a god ever existing , and the bible is like Aesop's Fables, just a bunch of stories. Nothing more, nothing less, but stories used to control groups of people who were very uneducated, and not at all literate. And goober like you line up today to spout what "God" said about this or that. You bible-thumpers are pathetic.

Who pays for your arrogance, your superiority complex, you who have put the word "right" twice in your nom-de-plume? We all do. All who are hammered by the same tired, I'm-saved-you're-damned rhetoric based on ancient, primitive, self-contradictory dogma. Let's define "oppression": My way or hell. Show me my misquotes. I'm ordering no one; I am asking that you now kindly depart. We know what you're going to say. That makes what you say meaningless. Let the reasoners carry on the conversation.

[theRightizright]

Unless you are God, you don't get to exclude others from expressing themselves.

God says homosexuality is a sinful choice. And He exposes their emotions as lust, not love, in Romans 1. All of your denial and tantrums won't change the facts.

[theRightizright]

Interesting how you're 'being oppressed' when you can't have your way. Interesting how you misquote God's word to suit your agenda or your latest snit. Interesting how you think you can order someone around on the internet, pretending to be better than others you don't agree with.

Jesus Christ died to pay for your arrogance, superiority complex, homosexuality, heresy, and all your other sins. Accept God's forgiveness by trusting Jesus as your Savior, while you can.

[theRightizright]

They're not married.  They can never be married. Trying to bypass God's design for marriage won't work.

[theRightizright]

Believe in God or not, He is the Creator of this universe, the Giver of life, and the Judge in the end times. EVERYONE needs to see the light of God's word.

Better to change one's thinking and believe the overwhelming evidence of His existence and authority, bow the knee to Jesus Christ as Savior, and be forgiven and saved.

It's not a matter of 'argument'. It's a matter of believing the truth.

[ohlunas]

OR MAYBE HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GOD.

SO HE DOESN'T NEED TO SEE THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD.

Can you even come up with an argument that doesn't involve religion? Nope.
