You are all very misinformed. He uses the corporate money to make donations to groups that spread hate. Also, if you are going to take a stance for traditional biblical marriage, go for the whole thing. Not just bits and pieces. Like in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for owhat fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and pwhat communion qhath light with darkness?" And 1 Corinthians 7:39 "A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord." So that means no divorce. If you are gonna ban same-sex marriage because of biblical beliefs. Follow the whole thing, hypocrites.

Jesus did make allowance for divorce due to infidelity but He never made allowance for unnatural sex acts.'Unnatural' Is the word written in the Book of Romans in the Holy Bible about homosexuality as well as many other scripture about it. God created man and woman. With certain kinds of plumbing and said go and multiply to fill the earth. He did not say go play with each others wee wees just to entertain yourselves cause it feels good and it's a little naughty thing teehee. You will become one and reproduce! how does that work with same sex relationships?
Why are male and female made differently? Where did God say if you don't like my way then maybe I am wrong so you can choose an alternate life style to suit yourself?
You will continue to argue just for the sake of argument. The words of the Bible taken in snippets and out of context can be lawyered into any kind of story you choose to weave it into but you are warned in the last verses NOT to be adding or taking away from these words so be very careful. God is Love but He is dangerous!(words of C. S. Lewis)

If God said not to do it, why would you need any other reason?
Haha, where would you be today if your parents had been gay??

That is the oldest argument. "It's adam and eve, not adam and steve.""God said be fruitful and multiply." You didn't say anything about the first verse I mentioned. The one that basically says Christians shall not marry non-Christians. Why don't you guys fight for that be become a law? Or Matthew 5:22? No divorce unless one of them has committed adultery. And that they can't remarry because that would be committing adultery. If you are gonna ban one group from getting married because the bible says it, you should do the whole thing. But luckily we are not a country run by religion. If you want more religion in your government, move to Iraq or Iran. Not everybody in this country follows the same religion as you, so therefore, you cannot base laws off of your book. Can you give me any other reason (besides the bible) why gay marriage should be illegal?

Maybe because a lot of Americans don't believe in the same God as you. And again, that argument is irrelevant. Homosexuals make up 2-5% of the population. Even if it were more, there would still be people making babies. Also, have you not heard of surrogate mothers? Me and my partner are actually having a child through one. There are many kids with gay parents. A famous gay parent, Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother. So you see, us homosexuals can still have kids. We just don't have sex to do it. On another note, kids of gay parents have been proven to be treated better than most kids of straight parents. Mainly because we don't treat them like they are only here because the condom broke. We actually wanted them. So I ask you again. Please give me a reason, besides the bible, why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to marry.

Give me another power you should respect in fear of eternal judgment. If you don't respect the Biblicl law then there is to reasoning with you on right and wrong. Set your own rules live by them take the consequences for them influence others with them, but when judgement does come Do Not blame others for your choices of choosing an alternate to Gods commands. Why do you think male and female anatomy are as they are? fit nicely together and actually have a function without altering them. Study anatomy and how the systems work, how muscle contraction and waves of vessels cause things to go in certain directions. We should know what is right by the very nature of things. But then there is that word 'alternate'. If WE don't like it, alter it! Choose but accept the consequences. Remember to vote today, If you choose but if you don't then take the consequences with silence.

Hitler had promoted "positive Christianity", a movement which purged Christianity of its Jewish elements and instilled it with Nazi philosophy. Stalin said, "You know, they are fooling us, there is no God... all this talk about God is sheer nonsense." Stalin was a athiest. Niether ever visited a Chick-fil-A.

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed because of homosexuality. It was destroyed because they were sinful towns who have fallen into greed and shamelessness. The verse in Genesis 19 is the only verse that connects homosexuality and the destruction of the towns. They are referred to 20 times in the books. None of those times does it mention homosexuality. Ezekiel 16:49 for instance, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom, She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned. They did not help the needy or the poor." Kind of sounds like this country. And if God is indeed unchanging in his punishments and his judgments, then why aren't we following the laws of the old testament? And since all the laws of the old testament are irrelevant, why is it okay to keep quoting Leviticus 18:22? That law has become irrelevant like the others around it. But did you also know that, according to the times the bible was written, that verse didn't actually mean sex. But that you shall not make another man unequal to you like a woman. You see, back then, women were property and you consummated the marriage to "seal the bond" that she was your property and that you had bought her from her father. She now belonged to you. And even in the New Testament it states that a woman belongs to man and shall have no authority over man. So we should get rid of women's rights according to the bible. 1 Timothy 2:11-14. Like I said before. If you are going to make a law based on the bible, then you need to do the whole thing, or shut up about it.

As we all know, members of the LGBT community were considered to have a mental health problem. This was not simply because of choosing the same sex as their sexual partners but because of the other mental health issues like depression, etc. that prevail. As everyone knows the physical and mental health problems associated with the LGBT community are very devastating. Also, suicide is much higher among members of that community even in countries where that choice of behavior is considered acceptable/normal. Buzz words like "hate" are used to try to get sympathy for the "cause". Comparing members of the LGBT community to blacks is unspeakable in every way possible. Race is not a behavior. You choose the behavior, you choose the consequences whether it be those promised by the Bible or the mental and physical ills associated with the lifestyle. Trying to take away freedom of speech in order to promote the "cause" is getting old, very old thus the hostility that a group would try to suppress the freedoms of others in trying to get their behaviors stamped as "normal" which they will never be. You choose whether or not to commit sodomy. I believe when it was considered a mental health issue that you probably had less suicide because the individuals could seek therapy. Allowing a union between members of the LGBT community would be suitable but it will never be a marriage. They would like it termed "marriage" because they believe that makes it proper in the eyes of God. Good luck with that. Again, you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences. I believe the hate that members of the LGBT community feel comes from the self-loathing they feel for themselves since most were taught that this was not an acceptable lifestyle. It is not about discrimination. Most people are not obsessed about their sexuality always feeling that everyone around them is thinking about what they do behind closed doors (hopefully). Perhaps, it is the vibs of paranoia that cause more problems than anything else?

The men of Sodom and Gomorrah were the first recorded in the Bible to face punishment for their sexual perversion. In Genesis chapter 19, we find two angels that pay a visit to Lot’s home in Sodom. In verse four, we find that “all the men from every part of Sodom” surrounded Lot’s house, and told Lot to bring out his visitors “so that we can have sex with them.” The pro-homosexual revisionist argues that the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah was that the residents wanted to commit an act of rape. That the rape would have been homosexual is not an issue, according to their argument. However, Jude 7 indicates that Sodom and Gomorrah’s punishment was due to their sexual perversion. Their sin was not simply one of violence (rape) but of sexual immorality (homosexuality). As further evidence of the sinful nature of homosexuality, Leviticus 18:22, and 20:13 both describe homosexuality as “an abomination.”
Contrary to the opinions of some, the Old Testament is not the only place in the Bible that condemns homosexuality. We previously mentioned Hebrews 13:4, where Paul exhorted us to honor the marriage bed and keep it pure. In Romans 1:26-27 Paul is very specific,“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” In 1 Corinthians 6:9, Paul wrote,“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.” The Greek word from which the King James Bible gets the word “effeminate” is malakos, which literally means something soft to the touch, but is used as a negative metaphor to refer to a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man. The “abusers of themselves with mankind” are those men who engage in unnatural sexual relations with other men – homosexuals. That is also how the NASB, the NKJV, and the NIV translate that verse. Also in the New Testament is verse 7 from the book of Jude, defining exactly why Sodom and Gomorrah were punished – homosexuality.
