Gay marriage is wrong, I think any educated and thoughtful person in their right mind knows that. But too many people support a "compromise" (code word for stepping stone) amendment to the Constitution allowing for civil unions. Unfortunately, those of us with political foresight understand that this is simply a stepping stone amendment that will ( Read more... )

Why are you so opposed to gay marriage again? I just don't see how it is any of your business who someone else marries. -Rob

It's not a matter of who's business is who's business, it's a matter of what is right and what is wrong. We don't allow people to murder other people just because it doesn't involve us, it's obvious that murder is wrong and so we make it illegal. The same thing goes for gay marriages. Anatomy is the biggest evidence of that. AIDS is the second biggest. If the United States is going to be a respectable country, it needs to ban gay marriages as soon as possible.

Laws against murder are there because of the average person's fear that it COULD happen to them, not that it is wrong in general. Hence, it isn't relevant to the gay marriage situation. I personally agree with you that gay sex isn't natural and involves some sort of emotional defect in a person, however, I just don't think that depriving the gays of something of so much value to them and so little effect on me is the right thing to do. I think the fact that people are making such a big stink about it is kinda retarded. And this civil union bullshit is just reinstating "seperate but equal." Next gay people are prolly gonna have to sit in the back of the bus and use different bathrooms. I happen to believe that a lot of things that happen in this world are wrong but opposing such things just disrupts the peace. Let the faggots get married. That is all.

I wish it was that easy. I'll leave it at that.

i suppose you think your right in judging these people and telling them what they want to do is wrong. Well did you ever think that you are not cut out for the job of judging? Don't you think you could leave the judgement up to someone who is a LOT more expierenced then you? Let them live their lives in peace and when they die let Him decided what is right and wrong, where do you assume you get the power to judge? Are you saying you want these people to live their lives in misery just because you think its wrong? Where do you get off telling people what is wrong and right? What these people do has NO effect on your life, so just leave it be, and concern yourself with yourself.

Interesting, you have a concept of God and judgement (though no concept of common courtesy by letting me know who you are). Now wouldn't it be YOUR duty as someone who uncerstands the way God judges to uphold a moral standard and not encourage sinfulness? I think you're confusing judgement with being steadfast in my moral convictions. At no point did I say anything negative about a homosexual person. I am against HOMOSEXUALITY, not HOMOSEXUALS. In fact, I hav several friends who are openly gay, people dear to me. That does not mean I support their actions, that does not mean i support their lifestyle, and in fact, I fulfill my Christian duty by maintaining my Christian values (it is EXPLICITLY clear in the bible that homosexuality is wrong, Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, etc.) and by making my stance clear and encouraging homosexuals to act in accordance wtih nature and work on the arduous task of overcoming their sexual sin. My stance opposing gay marriage is one that should be held by every Christian who believes the bible ( ... )

I suppose i might find it my duty to uphold morals standards, and to share the gift.....if i myself was a christain, which i am not, so that solves that. I believe in equal human rights for EVERYONE though.

Re: Leave it be uhohlostaneye March 16 2004, 17:50:53 UTC

So I should have the right to murder. Oh wait, I live in America where abortions are legal, I do have that right. We fail to realize that rights only go so far. Not everything is a "right." I don't have right to do whatever I want in the name of human rights. Have some decency man (or woman).

By the way, why would you hold me to a higher moral standard than yourself and expect me not to judge when you're obviously not bound by the same set of standards as I am? That seems hypocritical. Just an observation.
