But that is another thread.........
aps said:Not to sound rude, but I don't care of they are offended. Those currently living probably have no idea what their ancestors went through.

in other words...they take on this, while Issues that may actually make a difference to peoples lives....are brushed aside.
Homophobes just can't deal with the fact that everyone doesn't feel the way they do on homosexuality they need to try and have the governments invoke laws to stop it, even though these beliefs are purely religious in nature.

Navy Pride said:As I have said many time To me it has very little to do with religion.....
Isn't it ironic though becasue when someone has a difference of opinion on the issure the liberals like you start with the homophobe and bigot name calling.....
That is the sad part.....
Perhaps if you explained something other than Religious Dogme. or personal preference that was effected by Same sex Marriage, we would have a starting point for debate. If not.....then whats the point, other than spewing hatred for people that differ from yourself.

I have explained my reasoning on gay marriage many times in this forum........You are relatively new here you need to go back and read some of the threads...........
Gibberish said:What is your stance that homosexuality should be illegal if not based on religious beliefs? Most stances are that God created man and woman, not man and man; or the purpose of marriage, in its Christian context, is to reproduce. Both of these beliefs are religious in nature.
UtahBill said:The issue of marriage and bringing children into the world is hardly exclusive to the Christian world. If it was, why didn't Christ have something to say on the homosexual issue?
The OT is mostly for the Jews, the NT is for Christians. Digging around in the OT is hardly productive to any issues that were addressed by Christ, even less issues that were not. Certainly there are no Christian churches on the planet today that advocate living according to the Levitical rules.
He gave us new laws, upon which hang all the old laws. He did that because so many at that time were looking for loopholes in the old laws.
Human nature hasn't changed much in the last 2000 years.
Adam and Eve were told to multiply and replenish the earth, but they didn't know how, supposedly, until after eating from the tree of knowledge.Gibberish said:Agreed. My point is that certain homophobes use the thought that the bible says God wants man and woman to reproduce so they twist this logic to say God is saying homosexuality is wrong since the union cannot reproduce. Of course this is just one stance given by homophobes. Christianity seems the be the religion that creates a majortiy of the homophobic population, which is why I used this religion as my example.
UtahBill said:I don't presume to speak for God, or question Him, or question/judge His other children for their sins of ommission or commission. I am thinking that according to what Christ said, I would be in more trouble for that than for not multiplying.

Some chimps, they have very little conflict in the group because there is no fighting over females. One very happy troop of monkeys, from what I hear.Gibberish said:I always understood humans to be the only creatures that practice sexual activities as recreation? Though I have not researched and it is possible that I received this knowledge by my High school football coach/Science teacher.
If she brings home a chimp for you, I hope it is a female....tecoyah said:Damn....I wanna be a Chimp.....

Puts ice on his cheek
tecoyah said:Im sorry....I didnt see the insult, and if indeed you did, it was unintentional. I did however point out the irrational behavior towards Homosexual choice, if there was no Dogmatic reasoning behind it. I would also note the complete dismisal of my request, (other than to go look for myself), and can only assume this means you have no interest in debate.....no problem.
As for intolerant....uh....well look carefully at what you post, it seems obvious to me, if not blatant. The entire reasoning behind this thread is to seemingly celebrate the denial of marriage rights to a large group of American citizens, because they are different from your percieved norm. That, at least to me Shows intolerance. Seriously....reflect on what this projects to anyone who hears it, and then tell me you are tolerant of Gay people.
*Edit- was it the word "Spew" that was insulting?
