Poll: Gay marriage- your thoughts?

[Aqualung]

I like how all the buildings in Washington D.C. are built in the same style of the pedohpiliac Greeks. Ooo, little boys.~

 

[Darkdawn]

You have no idea what your saying. I'm quoting God he'd know whats best after all

Wow.
Yes, of course. Because someone who lets people commit genocide, let Hitler kill so many people, and let so much illness run rampant throughout humanity definitely knows what's best.
Remember; saying God knows what's best to an atheist is just asking to be laughed at.

You fool jesus christ said Even the devils know god's name and in mark 4 the devil himself quotes scripture so anyone even you, can say you're doing stuff for God. Hitler was Wrong but none of that was for God
and illness is not caused by God it is caused by mans corruption when he disobeyed god in the garden of eden and let me remind you there is a devil lol you fail at Atheism Pm if you want more answers

I wonder if anyone could sound more retarded.
First off, God doesn't exist. Neither does the Devil. They're excuses humanity made because they were too retarded to figure things out on their own. Same thing Romans did, same thing the Greece did, and the Egyptians. Man's corruption is man's retardation. The only disobeying is that of common sense that a person is a person and that you are an idiot.
Simple enough.

I think I made a post last night concerning this and i'd be glad to again so hear it is right from the holy book itself

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse, which basically means Since you are here to tell me I'm wrong proves that i am, in fact right

Oh yes and let me remind you that Atheism [at least the form You believe] depends on the simple fact that inanimate objects somehow became simple singe celled life forms so to argue the fact that my basis for creation is weak would be hypocrisy

I'd love discuss this with you But pm's are easier to respond to so please PM me

Okay, so let me get this straight.
You think that everything popped straight outta God's ass.
Okay then.
What seems more likely? Everything popped into existence which is physically impossible, or that chemical reactions between elements and molecules became so complex that they created life from the right conditions?
If you can prove to me that "God" exists without that Encyclopedia Dramatica clone called the Bible, or anything that doesn't make logical sense, I might actually consider you smarter than a tree stump.

 

[Chickenlittle]

I really don't see what the big deal is.

So long as they don't try actively and persuade others to join their lifestyle, I'm perfectly alright.

To everyone who stated that every religion is against homosexual marriage, you are far from the truth. The Church of Satan has been for gay marriages for as long as I can remember (and is probably the longest running religious supporter of it). Also, within a two hour drive of my current location, there are two churches who perform same-sex marriages (same-sex marriage, already legalized HERE. Federally, in fact)

Do your research.

12 reasons why gay marriage should be banned:

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or a longer lifespan.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

Hm. That was either very clever sarcasm, or the most retarded rant I've ever seen.
I'll either die from the hilarity of the sarcasm, or from committing suicide because of the possibility that someone could be that retarded.

Don't want to piss you off but can you prove without a shadow of a doubt he doesn't?

As a glasses wearer myself I have to agree. ROFL.

Gay marriage, is plain just SICK!! Period!! If I hurt your feelings well too bad.

how long does it take to ban lol couse i did the same to you you are officialy a troll ironys a ***** isnt it

Um, no. See Trolly, I can articulate, and spell, and I guess I just generally make more sense then you. Therefor, I would have to say that the majority of people here would choose to report you, for, you know, being stupid.

You see, the report button works by many people reporting the same person, which bumps their name up a list which the mods look at, and then investigate whether that person should be punished or not.

So no, I'm not going to get banned. Have fun while you can though.



Yeah I feel kinda immature for responding to this, but I felt like he should know the sacred truth before he gets banned.

[akIceman]

It's ridiculous that we still have legal unions and religious ones intertwined several hundred years after the supposed divorce of church and state. Fix that, and the religious folks can keep their ceremonies gay free while gays can enjoy the legal status of marriage. Everyone's happy, and homosexuals can continue to try to be accepted as human beings.

Seperate civil unions and marriages is how the state of Alaska solved that problem. Marriage is now defined in the State of Alaska to be only between a man and a woman, but civil can be between any 2 people. Oh, and people that co-habitate for like 2 years or something like that are afforded the same protections as a civil union I belive. And Jesus isn't dead. He is hiding.

 

[sineamora]

I dont understand the point of it, why are the trying so hard to be Hetero? .

Is there a special benefit to being married or something??

because i dont get this craze for marriage.

Marriage means tax breaks and other legal benefits as well, and would make it easier to adopt children. OH. WAIT. I just went there.

The state would also gain revenue from the dollars that go into the marriages (or unions) as well as divorces (or bad split-up time). Mostly it's just the want for equal treatment, call it a marriage, a union, a zubat, whatever. It's just a word.

So thats why I aint a millionaire yet...damn you mother! Why didnt you find some random douchebag to be my male role model! I could have been rich by now! Rich I tell ya!


Anyway to stay on topic. Yes I'm for gay marriage, I cant see how it would destroy the world to let gay people get married...
