    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    You know nothing of this poster and act as though you do, disrespecting him at every opportunity. How do you know what he has done with his life and what he has studied? This is not the kind of attitude or behavior that Christ would have exhibited.

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    well then, if you are going to eliminate all couples who cannot have children, such as SS couples, then we would need to include couples who carry the gene for Tay Sachs, or those who have a child with trisomy 21, or any other genetically caused disease or deformity as that would not perpetuate...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Is it that Japan has gotten lax about having children or is it that they see the over burdened planet we have and are trying to decrease the amount of people who populate it. We have strained the earth to breaking points, literally. Whether our species survives or not depends more on how...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    I will concede that Jesus did say that marriage was between a man and a woman. But he also did not say anything about SSM or homosexuality. You mention the book of acts but Acts was written by Paul, known to be a misogynist, at best. And while I know it troubles some, the fact remains that he...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    No disrespect intended but are you not using these examples but not considering that the examples are forced to this mindset either by their political regime or their religion's rules? Muslims may consider this to be abnormal as you do I suspect, but that this the religion and may or may not...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    It is a conundrum, I will give you that. Perhaps they wanted to suppress this at that time. But who knows? We cannot step back in time and see for ourselves. I wish I could however. All we can do now is speculate.

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    This is a Christian blog site and has zero credibility within the scientific community. If a student of mine used this as a point of reference for any paper or essay, the grade given would have been significantly reduced.

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Can you substantiate this claim with actual statistics from a peer reviewed source that states that 'millions of other people" don't believe its healthy?

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    This is quite possibly one of the most frightening, ignorant and ridiculous beliefs about this disease I have come across in some time. I cannot fathom someone being this ignorant. I would challenge you, then, to go to an HIV/AIDS clinic and be infected with HIV. Let's see how strong your...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    The fact that this woman would have unprotected sex with her husband knowing she has HIV strikes me as one of the most irresponsible acts by a human I can think of. And the fact that this husband would not use protection, assuming she told him of her HIV status, makes this man one of the most...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Bible writers were unaware about people being attracted to their own sex? Do you think all bible writers grew up and died monasteries? Or perhaps are you suggesting that there were no gay people then? Or are you suggesting no one (even the pagans or heathens as the Bible called) thought about...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    I agree with the exception that the birth mother has a say in the religion or lack thereof prior to the adoption process. If a woman is giving up her child for whatever reasons, she does not have a say in how that child is raised. The adoptive parents could be members of the KKK, or some other...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    Can I chime in here. The Bible is a big book and contains a lot of stories about a lot of people. Furthermore there are many books that we have currently which didn't make it to the Bible but which, for some of them at least, could be argued they should have been in there. Since the estimate is...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    But here again, what if the adoptive parents change their faith? Furthermore, the biological parents are giving up this child, for whatever reasons. Do you honestly think that every birth mother who chooses to go to a church sponsored adoptive agency is a healthy caucasion female with no drug...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    No, its not. What if the parents, for whatever reason, left that faith for another, or embraced atheism? That can and does happen. People change. I was allegedly a Christian in my youth but soon after I left for an independent life, I chose a different path. What then? Relinquish the child...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    An open adoption is different from one which is simply a woman, or in many cases, a young teen, giving up the child due to age, lack of maturity, etc. In the second case, that young girl would have no right to have input into the type of family the child would be placed in. And even in the...

    Mormon Church To US Supreme Court: Ban Gay Marriage

    If what you say in your first remark is true, why then do so many Christians openly accept gays and disagree with your POV about that particular verse? There are many churches that have no issue with gays and some churches are led by openly gay men or women. How do you explain that? You say...

    What physical written accounts and proof do we have that Jesus existed?

    I agree that most credible theologians agree that a man named Jesus did exist. But I have to disagree that Jesus didn't claim to be God. For example, John 10:30-33 - Jesus answered them, “I and My Father are one.”. Now I grant you that there are other verses that seem to intimate the...

    What physical written accounts and proof do we have that Jesus existed?

    It does have support however that is a far cry from stating it is 100% factual. And the fact remains that it was written by man. It may or may not have been divinely inspired but the fact remains that the Bible contains far too many mistakes to concur that it was written by God. After all...
