Um, right. Because the Church excludes them from the covenant. That's discrimination.Well, marriage is a sacrament in the catholic church. Homosexuals can not get married in the church.
Only thing homosexuals are missing out on are the covenant of marriage.
Sorry you feel that way. But I am a supporter of marriage and the holiness of marriage. That is why I am against homosexual marriage.
No. Your church encourages it's members to vote against the legal marriage rights
of homosexuals, having nothing at all to do with your sacramental marriages.
Deny whoever you want whatever you want in your church,
but keep your bigotry to yourselves.
All American citizens deserve equality of legal rights.
People can CHOOSE to be members of your church or not.
They can not as easily pick up and leave the country
and go somewhere they are not discriminated against.
Keep your religious doctrines to yourselves.
LOL there is no discrimination, espcially with women being ordained as priests. But that is off topic, I would love to discuss that though and show you why they can not. Create another topicUm, right. Because the Church excludes them from the covenant. That's discrimination.
And women can't be ordained priests, last time I checked. Discrimination? Yep.

Religion is widespread, and you will never get rid of it.
I guess then we will just have to waitIt's only a matter of time.[/B][/COLOR]

That is your take on it. Good thing about America is everyone is allowed to believe what they want.
That's very nice of you.
Apparently you take pride in being a thorn in the side of people
who are just trying to live their lives happily.
The christian version of love is often a pale counterfeit.

Love and charity does not extend to politics. Just because I may be not support gay marriage does not mean I am a bad person. I have no pride in "being a thorn in the side of people". I am just sticking up for something you are against. That is not my problem.
Remember you say Catholic or Christian version of love is a pale counterfeit. Especially when Catholic Charities does much for people of any color, sexual persuasion or creed.
And I and everyone else who votes against gay marriage, have the right to do so. If you do not like it, you can move.Participation in charities
does not absolve people from their bigotry.
If sticking up for something equates sticking thorns in the sides of people
who have nothing at all to do with you
I'd think twice.
You live in a country that protects freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness for all. If you don't like that, move.
Actually, it's the other way around. You're not "sticking up for" anything, you're opposing equality, plain and simple.I am just sticking up for something you are against. That is not my problem.
A "right" to deny other people their rights shouldn't be a right at all.And I and everyone else who votes against gay marriage, have the right to do so.

See how easy that is to turn around? lol
but you have to take into consideration these things you mentioned are innately deviant behavior becauseMost pro-gay people tend to make a rather weak argument for same-sex marriage, in my honest opinion. The argument is typically rooted in social liberalism: homosexuals should be allowed (have the freedom) to do what they want, because we must treat all people the same (we must give them autonomy). It is this sort of thinking which leads to the conservative notion of the slippery slope. I am staunchly pro-gay and pro same-sex marriage, but I am decidedly against the freedom of consenting adults to engage in incest, and I am against plural marriages.
Your right.
My Church teaches that a homosexual, while we should still give them love and care and understanding, but still speak the truth. Which is celibacy. But its the same celibacy everyone is expected of. They to need to confess to such sexual sins, as we all do. Finding excuses for it and wasting money on silly little "research" and "study" will do not justice for the situation.
That was not looking down. That was just what I thought. Acting high and mighty would be more rude and not like me. Sorry if it came off that way. Its just my personal opinion.
