The problem with "domestic partnership"Follow

Ok, I get it. You're afraid if gay people can get married, you will somehow catch AIDS. Makes perfect sense.


[:loony:]

I'm so confused by your analogies. If gay people get married, you're worried they're going to have a parade down your street and you might catch AIDs by watching it?

Once again, where do you get the idea you can restrict the rights of others based on a judgement THAT IS NOT YOURS TO MAKE. It is up to God. It says so right in your ******* Holy Book.

Also, the Bible puts way more emphasis on the sins of adultery and divorce. Should the government dissolve the institution of divorce, and allowing the stoning of adulterers?

You can't pick and choose what you want to follow to make yourself a 'hip Christian'. Either you're in the ******* Old-World with Sharia-like rules, or you follow the bible liberally, hoping that the wrath of God will be more painful than any sodomy your neighbor may have enjoyed.

Also, sources... as one person pointed out, you have ONE RELIABLE SOURCE.

Oh


I deleted it because I wasn't prepared to defend it, because I was not sure if I thought it was right.



Are you taking issue with intentionality or the conclusion that followed from it?

First off I have no homosexual friends. Second of all, I do know what I am talking about. Even in the New Testament, more emphasis is placed on other sins that are tolerated by the government.

Do you think the government should ban smoking on the fact that the Bible states that one should care for their body like the Temple of God itself?


Third off,if this is a matter of religion, look up the difference between church and state. If this is a matter of public health, it is common sense that if given the institution, gay men would most likely begin more monogamous relationships. Also, just don't sleep with any men in the meantime, k Haggard?

I don't see how a certain minority getting an STD affects me, a non-member of said minority?

Exodus,

They weren't f*cked up. You simply disagreed with them. And they all basically stemmed around me using the oh so dread N word.

Less than three Exo.

Elephant,

You mean besides receiving tax benefits that every single person in this country is not entitled to?

Or how about legitamizing a behaviour that is harmful to society?

These things affect us all.
