    Did you read my ENTIRE post? Did he have two moms or only one parent? My example had two "parents" yours has only one. My arguement (in terms of homosexuals adopting a child) is that "two parents are better then one, gender does not have a DIRECT effect it". And I also stated it was a case-by-case basis.

    So are you picking and choosing what you wish to directly respond to?

    As for the last part, did he say this himself, or did you assume this?

    I say support gay marriage. There is nothing wrong with two males being married. It is basically the same thing as a male and female. If gays want to be married and fit in with the rest of society, then I say let them! Tell me a reason why gays shouldn't have the same privleges(sp?) as straight people.

    I don't really have a problem with it.But i was just thinking that if gay marriages become more and more the world would TOTALLY change.Their kids would take the same example and then gay people would just multiply...I don't know...It just doesn't sound right...

    If your logic is like that....then who was the "first gay"? But yes, not every marriage (straight and if gay marriage becomes legal) will be perfect. The world isn't perfect, period.

    Lawl...you make it sound like a disease...XD

    And anyway, like a lot of people have been saying, gay influence does not exist. Here's a special little look into the life of Cin for you all:

    My father's best friend was gay for years. I grew up with this man. My parents and him did a lot of things togethor, and he was basically my babysitter. My brother, is NOT gay. I, am NOT gay. There's no such thing as gay influence.

    11% of the population is homosexual...in ALL of nature...even animals. This percentage has never changed at all. Because there's usually a fixed number of gay people. They don't multiply, or spread, or anything else. When you are born, there's a 1 in 10 chance you'll be gay. Gay influence, in all respects is no more then a way to end diversity for gay people. If every kid accepted gay people for who they were, simply because their parents were gay, then there'd be no such thing a dicrimination for gays.

    And you people out there who couldn't care less about the discrimination of gay people: Get over yourself, really. We're all people, and despite all our differences we SHOULD be able to at least share one planet togethor. The world is to small for us to be fighting over land, over people, and over control. What it all comes down to is that we all need to realize that everyone is equal and everyone is the same. So like I said: Get over yourself, the world will be a much better place without selfish, ignorant people like you running around.

    I think it's alright. I mean, even if you don't like it chances are it's not even affecting you anyway so I think gay marriages should be allowed everywhere.

    Good to see ya back Roxas!

    But now on topic this is how the dictionary defines marriage:1.)a.)The state of being married. b.)The legal union of man and woman as husband and wife.
    The Bible describes it too as the union of one man and one woman. And of course by law marriage is between a man and a woman. It's sorta a tradition. Why break a sacred tradition And if you think about it if gay marriage then the number of gay divorce would go up.

    You can't relate a belief like the bible as a code for gay marriages, as how do you know all gays are Christians. If they don't believe in the Bible then something like that would have no effect on them.

    I'm not saying all gays are Christian. I'm just saying the reason for some of my beliefs are the Bible.

    And like many other have stated: Don't trust the bible for the simple fact that if you REALLY believe in it, you would never eat fish, play football, or work on Saturdays. I mean come on...the fact that people point out "don't be gay" and ONLY concentrate on that whent he other things are still there, not only does it belittle the crhistian faith but it shows that you don't believe in some parts of the bible. If ou're really christian and you really believe the bible, then you should at least follow ALL your own teachings, rather then just the ones that may hurt people's feelings or their lives.

    Precisely.

    I laugh upon all the people who go against gay marriages solely because of the "Book of Truth", referring to the Bible. Let me just note, that preventing something you believe to be a Sin and yet while YOU go ahead and go against other rules from the Bible is Hypocrisy. And that on its own is a Sin, so that makes you twice as dirty.

    Only use the Bible in defense if you have, as stated, a pure heart. Which I very well doubt ANY of you have. Otherwise do NOT call on Gods name for this argument.


    And while I was searching for Bible quotations, I fell upon a very stunning quote.

    Refer to this site for meaning of Homosexual Offender.

    What they mean is all listed actions are also in violation of the bible's writings, therefore you do any of said things than you're being a complete hypocrite saying that homosexuality is wrong due to the fact that it is opposing God's will.

    You're either making blatant lies, or you didn't read their post completely. :\

    There are so many unnoticed things the Bible considers taboo...you're life likely consists of much more than that minor rule.

    Please do not insult other religions here. That isn't the title of the thread. Anyways that verse does not say don't rely on God to tell you what is right. You're just telling others what God is saying. The Bible is the spoken word of our God and those are his quotes. We're not so much as calling on his name as much as quoting him. And please if any of you here are atheist, which I'm sure many of you are, don't bash Christianity. I'm not saying I'm perfect but I am allowed to use the Bible as an argument since it's what I believe. I try my best to follow what's in it. I believe it to be all true. But the reality is everybody commits sins.

    Listen,I'm a Christian,I go to church every sunday e.t.c.I've read the bible,heck I have a copy of the bible.In my opinion,the new testament,which most christians abide to,is completely man-made.I'm a great believer in the old testament which was,according to the bible,handed to Moses by God himself.Now,I also believe in the 10 commandments.NOWHERE in the commandments does it say that two men are'nt allow to love each other in the bonds of marriage.
    And about the gay influence thing,I know plenty of gay people,I'm even friends with a homosexual,and look at me,I'm NOT gay.So whoever put that idea out here should be ashamed of him/herself.
    And Roxma,do you know of THE GOLDEN RULE.The very law of all existance is equality.Meaning,gays have the right to be EQUAL.
    I don't even know why anyone would use the Lord's name as an excuse to say Homosexuals can't be married.And I probably am a hypocrite for involving God too,but at least I was'nt the first.

    Wow, did you actually read that post? No where in that statement did she insult Christianity. :| And she's not flat out telling you what God is saying. She's telling you that you have no right to incorporate those quotes into the argument if you're going to violate their source, which is completely agreeable.

    No, you're not, because you aren't one of the people hiding behind the Bible for a reason as to why gay marriage is unacceptable.
