Gay marriage is hypocrisy!

Homosexuals want to marry in a church and be married in the eyes of God, when they know God is clearly against it!

Come on people educate me How do you explain that one?

 

maybe their God isn't as discriminatory as yours and loves them, and they love God

 

What's the story re: church?

Gay marraige is a civil fight not a religious one.

They're petitioning the government not the pope

 

man. gay people should not be forced to not marry. thats just fucking dumb

 

ditto. that's the whole point. the religious freaks want to make it a religious issue but it isn't. The gays just want the same recognition and benefits given to other committed, married, but heterosexual couples.

 

Marriage is a religious institution that is regulated by the government. It's a conflict of interest and this shit needs to cease. And you homophobic mongoloids need to get a life.

That's right, I said homophobic mongoloids.

 

Personally, I do not want to be giving special rights and privilages to same-sex marriages.
Thats why I have an MP I vote for and the ability to vote.
Ive requested that 'same-sex' marriages not be recognised and given rights and privilages.
I DO request that 'opposite sex' unions between one man and one women, of legal age and not related (incestuous) being given a little bigger 'piece of the pie' than I do as an encouragement and support for their union.

Im not Bigamyphobic but I have also voted accordingly that bigamist marriages also be disallowed for marriage rights and privilages.
Incestuous ones too.

 

Arms dealers get married in churches too. The 'religious' who oppose gay marriage obviously think they're ok, or 'morally superior' to gays who work as doctors or nurses.

That's hypocrisy alright.

 

that is a very good point, is it just because homosexuals are been open about their sin. or is it the good ole chrisitan discrimination that kicked in and needs justification
peacex

 

I'd say it's the good old christian narrowness that's kicked in. It's because the Bible condemns gays but says nothing about arms dealers I suppose. Either way, it illustrates the fact that a morality compiled 2,000 years ago or more is not very relevant to the real issues we now face.

 

legislating bigotry and hatred.... well, that's just wrong. I don't care what reasons you give for being a bigot, our country was founded on the principle of human rights (oh, the OP is not in the US... well, I am). Not just your rights, but everyone's rights. If your church doesn't want to perform marriage ceremonies for certain people, they should be allowed to go elsewhere, but it isn't for the government to deny anyone the right to marry whoever they love.

 

homosexuality is not sex , or rather is the theatre of sex . same-sex marriage is just so . but anyones can be family by free choice and by any definition .


it does bugger me a little that the homo life-style is actively promoted as a tool for population control . i spose it works , like abortion works , and war works , and celibacy works , and cancer works , and cannibalism works , and black cohosh works....... what the hell , though . i'd prefer we act and evolve from more dignified , natural feelings of Life and balance .

sure , the sex psyche is complicated . it gets all muddled with politicalisms and enviromentalisms and consumerisms and tribalisms and trouble-isms . go on , fuck yourself in the head . but , it's not sex .

 

How so.
How do they think they are morally superior?
Explain.

 

I can't believe you need this spelled out. An arms dealer deals death and destruction, often to innocents. Yet such a person if hetrosexual would be allowed to be married in a church.
A gay person who works helping humanity would not be allowed.

That is moral stupidity and hypocrisy.

 

They must be a member of the Church and must renounce evil deeds and intend to to good.
At least thats true for any normal Church I have ever known about.
Then again, there are Churches that will marry two guys or girls together so you never know what can happen.

The issue of Gay Marriage (as in state recognised) is about MY BUSINESS and whether or not I want to give special benefits and rights to a new category of marriage.
I dont.
Thats up to me to decide.

 

Special benefits? No, man, it's EQUAL benefits, the same as hetero marriages.

 

Open your eyes then to the fact that both UK and US governments are the world's largest arms dealers, and to my certain knowledge, both Bush and Blair are curch goers. It doesn't really look like these people have 'renounced their evil deeds'.

And on what basis will you decide if there should be gay marriage? Predjudice? Some archaic and irrelevant scriptural reference?

 

hey ! gay is a movement and the behavior is becoming adopted and institutionalized . why ? what good is it as any sort of solution to our worrisome troubles of family . i think it comes from unrealistic sex-mythology and goes no where . the public discourse has become impotent , too .


anyone is entitled to a civil union or contract . my old girlfriend can 'marry' her dog for all i care . still , i got some sadness about all that ... there's goobs of frustration all around . it's not just personal .

 

I am not trying to call you names, but please consider some marriages that were not permited, but are now permited:

Interracial marriage
Marriage to catholics illegal in some countries
Marriage to non-catholics was illegal in others
Marriage between a woman and a non-Christian man.
Marriage to someone un-approved by your father.

Marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is illegal in some countries.

Many good people had various reasons to oppose these kinds of marriage at the time, but society went on and we now see laws forbiding those marrages as barbaric.

While you may not want the state to recognize gay marriage, your desire is not a sufficiant explaination of "why should gay marriage be forbidden."

As for what your God commands, well I'll do what I do and once I'm dead, if your God punishes me, then you can say "I told you so." Until then, you do (or don't do) what your God wants you to and leave the rest of us out of it.
