    Oh my god XD I was looking at it the wrong way~ my bad.

    EDIT: Er no, I take that back. I just went and read my Bible just to double check.

    Adam and Eve had 2 sons, Abel and Cain. Cain killed Abel, then God banished Cain to the land of Wandering, something like that. In the next phrase it just says he has a wife, who just kinda pops out from no where. So...we don't know if that's his sister or not, since it was never mentioned Eve bore a daughter.

    ...Okay I am suddenly SO confused.

    People judge one another in the principles of the Bible, but the Bible was written by men to dominate over others by saying God spoke to them. Shouldn't the Bible be a work in progress? What worked 2000 years ago is certainly not going to work today.

    In reality the Bible men sought to control by putting fear into others. In this they saw herd-conformity, where many are lead by a leader, having false hopes. If people learned to think as individual and free their minds from guilt feelings when it comes to same-sex sex, we wouldn't have so many unhappy gay men;

    By the way, I'm not trying to offend christians.(If I did then I apologize) I do believe in god. But I tend to try not to forget that during those ages (2000-500 years ago, bible being written and changed), the church kinda controlled everything. And didn't they decid wether people go to hell or not, by the amount of money given to them? :rolleyes: Eh, it was even written that if you masturbate your eyes would bleed. ( Anyone who laughs at this in an imature way definitely doesn't deserve to be debating about this right now)

    I see what you mean. Yeah, when I made that statement in Roxma's quote I was referring to their offspring.

    After a while the genetic relations become so loose you just can't consider it to be incest. Most people mark this at a range outside of cousins. I know it sounds like a desperate answer, but it's rather logical if you think about it.

    And/or be blinded. Hairy palms as well.

    Thanks for correcting that.

    This thread has just become a debate about what the bible says and how people interpret it.

    Well the thing is that is some people's explanation for being against so I guess it was inevitable.

    *I had school so this reply is PRETTY LATE*

    Hey, just a little information, that IS my opinion, I'm sticking by it and if anyone has any opinions based on others, ITS YOU, WHO'S STICKING TO THE BIBLE AS THEIR MAIN DEFENSE (a majority of your posts aslo revolve around it being 'wrong' and saying that as long as they aren't near you you're fine and then you claim you're not homophobic as well as they you don't like their 'arrogance' in their sexuality which I persoanlly have never SEEN, so yes you have contradicted yourself). That and do you get off making such unfounded claims? I've stood by my opinion BASED ON what I have seen and I will stand by it no matter what! By the way, you just made a direct attack on me by calling me gutless. Way to be a hypocrite when it comes to "OH PEOPLE ATTACK ME BECAUSE OF MY OPINION!!!" nice job. But I digress.

    How was I unintelligent in stating that you sounded like you were making a big deal, last I checked you people considered SATAN a VERY BIG DEAL. You say "make no big deal of it" then you tell people to MOVE TO CANADA as your solution?! That sounds rather unintelligent there. What if they don't want to move to Canada, WHAT IF THEY CAN'T? Not everyone has the funding to do so, nor the ability and that's not even the main point! They have as much a right to be in this country as your or me or any other CITIZEN. Of course, if I wanted to be REALLY technical, I could suggest the same half-baked solution to you, you don't like it here in the US with the prospects of gay unity/marriage? Well then YOU SHOULD MOVE YOURSELF! See, not much of a solution is it? Or if I really wanted to be harsh, I would say "y'all should just wait until you die cause in your heaven with God there won't 'be' any homosexuals up there, so why are you causing them grief now?"


    And in reference for the thread itself most recently, it became an off-topic when the Bible was referenced even more as an arguement. Hence why there're so many tangents. Come to think of it, does anything aside from the Bible (and people who study the Bible or those who're homophobic) who really have anything against gay unity/marriage? :\

    This for sure is the last time for sure I'm posting here. I don't care where it goes now. I'm not admitting defeat it's just getting so boring. I just feel there's too much hate in this thread and some people don't try to understand what I'm telling them. But this debate will suffer with one side so somebody might as well close it. One of my friends always debated about social security. And now she doesn't want to even hear that word anymore. Same thing here. Yall already know my point of view on this so I wont repeat myself. (Now you may insult me as much as you want):D:D:D I love you all. And on a parting note for the record I am in no way sexist, racist, or homophobic in any way. I am also not in the KKK. As some of you may believe. Good bye and may a mod please close this thread?

    Roxmas, quit saying you're leaving because obviously you're not. That's the 3rd time that I've seen in this thread that you said you were leaving. Anyway, I've never hated you Roxmas. I just think it's wrong that Christians want to be so close to God and do what's right, but yet they still judge people WHICH IS A SIN. Only God can judge. You are sinning right there. You're living a sin as we speak.

    Yeah. That's kinda what I didn't want when I posted this. Oh, and by the way, Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship with God.

    Christianity really is about a relationship with Jesus. Christians ask Jesus to fill their hearts and forgive them of their sins.

    As long as it is between two consenting adults I think people should be able to marry whom ever they wish.
    And if the bigots don't want to let go of their precious word than the government should create something with all the rights and protection of marriage for homosexual unions.
    Gay people deserve to be happy just like everyone else.

    Okay, I didn't really read the entire 24 pages of this, so I'm just going to state my opinion.

    I don't understand why so many people absolutely HATE gay marriage. If you are in love, you should be able to get married with whomever you want. And also, you shouldn't have to move away from your friends/family to get married.

    America is made up of ignorant people, who don't take the time to actually look at and understand something. They are just told something is wrong, and will argue against it. If these people just thought something over, and realized the LOVE is LOVE, no matter which orientation. Also, another thing that confuses me is the fact that people think that being gay or straight is a choice. Someone doesn't wake up one morning and decides to be gay. I'm not sure if it's a genetic or a learned trait, but it is not a choice.

    And to the religion part of the argument. Not everyone believes in the same thing that you do. If you can live with people of different religions, different races, different anything, then why can't gay people get married?

    So, people should be able to get married, even if they are gay. If you don't like it, then deal with it. These people are going to love each other no matter how much whining and protesting against it happens.

    I'm not sure if this post even made sense, but that's just how I feel about gay marriage.
