Homosexuality not included.

Pretty much. The Homophobic Right-Wing always state that Same-Sex Couples wish to redefine marriage without realising that they themselves have already redefined marriage to suit the changing times.

Of course I am fairly sure that they wouldn't like to go back to the old definition? Well I know certainly that women wouldn't like to. I mean being treated as nothing more than an asset for land and title seems pretty discriminatory in my opinion.

It was because women got their rights that the original ideals of marriage were changed in such a dramatic way. It is considered to be a union of two equal, and consenting adults nowadays. What's the real difference between two men, or two women being part of the "consenting adults" bracket?

Oh that's right, it's not natural. Well sorry gentlemen, having viagra to enhance performance at the age of 50, 60 or 70 is pretty unnatural too. I don't see you all up in arms about that!

Well, of course the Right Wing women would want to go back to the old religious ways...well they want everyone but themselves to go back, because of course the rules only apply to peons, er, other people.

I agree that it should never have been on the ballot...here's why: The Bible says homosexuality is wrong, therefore, christians CANNOT vote to condone same-sex marriage. If the government just said- "Hey same-sex marriage is lawful", it would fall under the category of "give unto Caesar that which is Caesars'" and I'd be fine with it.

Yeah, and that is exactly what had happened before the christians decided that they should ignore that whole "give unto Caesar" part of the bible because it was inconveniently preventing them from exercising their bigoted superiority complex over a minority group they disapproved of.

So in other words you silence us??? You strip us of our rights to speak out against something that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for?? Not even!

No, that's not what I said. You haven't changed, have you? Still looking to be persecuted when no-one's interested.

What I actually said was that, while you are free to say whatever you like, you are not free to interfere in whatever manner you like. This issue should not be put to a public vote, just as no civil rights issue should be put a public vote.

And God did not destroy Sodom or Gomorrah because people were gay.

I'd prefer not have any further interaction with you, if at all possible. I'd appreciate it if you'd avoid responding to any of my posts in the future. I didn't move to a new forum just to continue talking to sub-morons like you.
What I find amusing is that it was YOU who introduced me to these forums when we were on myspace looking for another place knowing the forums would be shutting down. Don't you remember, you said that I shouldn't go to friendburst and to come here instead? As you wish, I will not interact with you AT. :rolleyes:

I've seen "skinny" people be gluttons so let us not assume that only "fat" people are gluttons. I've also seen fat people barely eat anything and still be fat. I think this argument doesn't hold up. IMO. :facepalm:
I didn't say "fat". I said "glutton". And the argument holds up quite well, in spite of your diversion.

Sorry, but this is not saying what you want it to say.

If I remember that part of the bible right God struck down Sodom and Gommorrah not a bunch of right wing Christian fundamentalist.

I seem to remember a bunch of passages about staying out of the world and butting out of politics however.

Christians do not have to accept it. They merely have to keep out of the way and allow it to happen, as the law and justice require, since there is no valid legal objection to it. Your church does not have to perform such marriages, but neither should it stand in the way of churches which wish to.

So in other words you silence us??? You strip us of our rights to speak out against something that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for?? Not even!

This begs the question... by what do you base this on?

luke 6
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

who are those that ask for equal rights...?
who is deafening our ears with rhetoric?
