I dont like the idea of homosexual marriages. Anyone remember Sodom and Gamorrah? We all know what happened there (If you ever read part of the bible).
http://www.christian...r/abr-a007.html Is proof of Sodom and Gamorrah's existance. For those who dont know, Sodom and Gamorrah was not spared by God because of their homosexuality and immoral acts. Had Abraham been able to find 10 righteous people God would have spared the city. He found 1.

And how does that affect you? =P You didn't answer the question, silly!Because seeing that it's legal, more people would begin to accept it.

On topic, I think it's bad. Basically all do to religious beliefs, I think it would be alot easier to handle my issue with homosexuality if it were to stay illegal. Making it legal would put all the more pressure on me.

Edit: I forgot the main point I wanted to make...
Mariages is what I ant to avoid. I wouldnt mind if they recieved teh same benefits as being married people, but do not call it married. Call it a Civil Union or whatever.

Okay wtf. All I am saying is that if HomeSexuality were to be legal, in a debate like this alot of people would think that if it's legal, then it's probably good. Whereas it's not legal, so that thought never crosses their mind. That's why it makes it harder. I have no clue what your evolving my statement into.

I agree. And what I hate most is that those Christians never take time to look from the viewpoint of the homosexual person, instead claiming them 'immoral,' or 'a sinner.' What a great way to get them to stop! >.>If only Christians crusaded to uphold the sanctity of heterosexual marriage as much as they crusaded against the marriage of homosexuals...

Hmmwha? I was talking about some Christians, who want to 'stop the evil homosexuals,' by calling them immoral. What I meant was that it's pretty much a useless attempt for them to stop someone who they think is doing something 'evil,' by telling them "You're sinning! Repent!" I wasn't saying you can't be friends with them and still think it's wrong, I was just talking about a specific group of people.You sound just like a person I met the other day. Assuming because a christian calls homosexuality a sin, that gay person is instantly like the devil. I have homosexual friends, and I like them all, but just because I think what they are doing wrong doesn't mean I hate them. So watch your mouth.

Quoted for emphasis because I like that quote."Love the sinner, hate the sin."
- Some minister
The fact is: There are so many same sex couples out there that have a good enough relationship that is worthy of a marriage of some sort. The fact that there are very few active homosexuals also is a plus.

So? A few have thrived, that proves...?
Why must homosexual couples be considered married? Typically, that was people in the Church did to a person of the OPPOSITE sex to show their devotion. Please note OPPOSITE.
Let homosexuals have the same benefits of being married, with out the title of a "Married couple".

No... that would be something completely different. Murder is infringing the rights of a person to live. People marrying others is not really hurting anyone... except really themselves if you believe they will be punished for it. (not saying they will or will not be, I don't want to get into a fight about that). But that is why this is not such an issue to me. It isn't hurting anyways as far as I can see so comparing it to murder is quite the false analogy as far as legality goes.And just because we are wrose then we were in the past, it does not make any previous rules pointless. That's like saying because we have so many people murdered a day, the law is pointless now and needs to be tossed out. If that's what you ment.

Governor: "Well, to not piss off the mountain folks or the gays, ive decided to change the name of marriage for homosexuals, but make the same benefits."
Crowd: "---"
Govenor: "Buttbuddies. So rather than saying "Will you marry me?" say "Will you be my buttbuddy?". Instead of saying "man and man," say "buttbudies." Pretty simple?"
Posted 09 May 2006 - 02:33 PM
Yes, I would. But you're not understanding... our government isn't a theocracy no matter if Christians like it or not so I really don't believe that's a relevant question. I am talking about legality.I have a question for you (I don't need answers from someone else) Tetiel. If a person was in a burning building, on the verge of death, but you knew you had a chance at getting to them, would you do it? If someone was hanging off a cliff, and there was a possibility of saving them, would you do it? Even if you didn't know the person.
Once there are about half as many homosexual relationships as there are straight relationships, and they are still thriving like right now, I will consider taking the thought that homosexual relationships do better then straight relationships.

So basically you oppose it on no moral, ethical or logical grounds; rather you just can't stand letting gay people have the same word as straight people? <blink>Quoted for emphasis because I like that quote.

Im against it, but theres no way to abolish it, its like Communism. I believe in the Domino theory and containment.So basically you oppose it on no moral, ethical or logical grounds; rather you just can't stand letting gay people have the same word as straight people? <blink>

Yeah it is, its more the policy of containment.But is not the domino theory a slippery slope fallacy?

QFE.. lol that made me laugh..Therefore they need a new term for being butt buddies.

I think the term "marriage" applies between a man and a woman. Having "Civil Unities" does not bother me. With vocabulary out of the way, I think the government should apply the same tax laws and such to Gay Marriages as they would Normal Marriages. I think of this topic in the same way I do illegal immigration. Pay your taxes and you can stay.
