I have no problem with gays marrying.. I do have a big problem with them adopting kids!!


I think there it should be illegal to have children before the age of 22 and even then there should be manditory parenting classes and a written test to pass before someone is given a breeding license.

I'm not getting what I want and neither are you. But thanks for sharing.

It’s really pretty simple.The undeniable truth is that love and sex are all about making babies. All of adulthood is about making babies. And marriage is about love and sex; therefore, marriage is about making babies. There is no way around the compelling logic of that stark biological reality. For the sake of sanity, we should just keep it that way.

Same-sex relationships has nothing to do with making babies and nothing to do with marriage. It really is that simple.

In other words, you - like every other homophobe - have no proof whatsoever that homosexuality is a choice.
Next!
Does it really matter if it's a choice? It's either a choice or a birth defect. Either way it isn't normal. No one cares if you're gay, they just want you to stop pushing for universal acceptance, an unachievable goal. Calling people that don't support gay marriage bigots and haters, brainwashing other peoples kids, trying to get gay politicians elected so laws can be changed to further your cause. You can change all of the laws but you can't change a single mind.

Yawn...this again?

So are you saying that infertile heterosexuals cannot marry? Are you saying heterosexuals who don't want children can't marry? Are you saying heterosexuals who want to adopt rather than having children can't marry? Are you saying elderly heterosexuals can't marry?

Or are you just a hypocrite?

You're really not making any sense. The acceptance of homosexuality has grown year after year. Most younger people could care less if someone is gay. As time goes on we'll look back on these times and wonder what the fuss was all about.

It is inevitable.

<quoted text>
One more time.....for those that live in Rio Linda ....
Paul contrasted the nature and responsibilities of marriage back to the marriage of Adam and Eve (Gen. 2:18-24) to substantiate what has always been true from the beginning. This scripture points out that marriage is a divine institution. It was designed by and originated with the sanction of God. Also this scripture along with 1 Cor. 7:2 establishes that marriage is monogamous. God created for Adam what was needed for his marriage: one woman. Paul stated that each man was to have his own wife and each woman was to have her own husband. This monogamous relationship is not having one husband or one wife at a time. The principle of monogamy is one man for one woman for life. Marriage is a permanent bond between a man and woman and is intended to last until death (Romans 7:1-3) with only one exception found in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9.
Marriage is a divine institution with a purpose. If I were to choose one word above all others to convey the intent of marriage I would choose the word companionship. Marriage partners are to leave all others and cleave to each other. Genesis 2:18 says: "Then the Lord God said,'It is not good for a man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him'."
Procreation, the perpetuation of the human race, is another purpose of marriage. Genesis 1:28 says, "And God blessed them; and God said to them,'be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it'." Children are to be born of parents who are married to each other. The home is the basic unit of society and is ordained of God..
Furthermore, God condemned Homosexuality and spelled it out quite clearly in Romans.1:24-28:.....
"That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their female changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature, and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense which was due for their error. And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state to do the things not fitting."
It is indeed obtuse and contradictory to think
God would condemn a practise, and then allow it to flourish in the next breath...Not hardly -- God is a God of absolutes, not political correctness and oxymorons.
Regarding Polygamy -- Early on, the old covenant (Tora, O.T.) there were a few instances of Polygamy, but not encouraged by God. However, one must understand that we are no longer under the old law covenant, but the new Covnant (N.T.) established by Jesus Christ in 33CE on the Jewish calandar. Besides, the old law was written for the Jews, not the Gentiles...
Since God's original standard for mankind was for the husband and wife to become one flesh, polygamy was not intended, and it is prohibited in the Christian Congregation under the new covenant (NT). Ministers and Overseers, were responsible in setting the example for the congregations, they are to be men having not more than one living wife (see: 1Ti 3:2,12; Tit 1: 5,6))
'Stultus est sicut stultus facit."
if the one god theory is true and we are his children,he is creating gay,bi,pedophilic people,if it's so bad why is he doing this? especially pedophiles,pedophilia is the worst crime against children man/women can commit against a child,why does he allow it? as i stated in my first post pedophiles should recieve automatic life sentences in solitary so they can never hurt a child again.

you must be catholic,you have my sympathies for being duped by the church,making people believe it is a holy place when it is actully the opposite,it has committed bank fraud,laundered money for the mafia,killed and tortured people if they did not become followers of the church,out right lied about the severity of the abuse that went on,and now the man who knows everything about it is made pope,why? not because he deserves it but because it gives him diplomatic immunity so he can't be brought before a judge and testify as to how many years and how many priests,bishops,cardinals,and even popes were involved in this hideous act.the catholic church has disgraced itself beyond repair,people are leaving in droves,churches and schools are being closed everyday because attendance is shrinking more and more on a dayly basis,and with good reason too.if you believe in the catholic church that is saying you think it's ok for the church to commit theses atrocious acts.

God didn't create robots, he created man and the Angels as free moral agents. The first couple were admonished not to eat the fruit of a given tree in the garden for their own good, and there was penalties to pay for their disobedience. Satan challenged God's sovereignty by introducing SIN to Adam and Eve,(not Adam & Steve) therefore, it was passed down to all of us as inherited sin (Rom. 5:12). IOW, God didn't makes us the way we are now, that's Satans destructive influence over the masses here on earth.

Over the millenniums we have become more sinful and corrupted by Satan's influences. And this is why.....

"If now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, among whom the god [Satan] of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ who is the image of God, might not shine through." 2 Cor. 4:3,4.

Long time no see.

Charlie, we live in a world that has a population of over 7 billion, which is growing at a rapid rate. Countries such as China as encouraging people to either not have children, or to limit themselves to only one child. We live in a world where there isn't enough food and water to go around, and the lives of everyone would be better if there were less people around. The human race isn't going to die out any time soon, stop worrying.

Secondly - you mention the whole purpose of sex is to procreate, not true. In the animal kingdom there is a very high homosexuality and bisexuality rate, particularly among lions and bats, for example male lions have intercourse within the hunting pride to strengthen familiar bonds before hunting, and in the same way bats undergo acts of homosexuality to keep warm when the temperature drops.

Thirdly - children, in my opinion are a hassle, i've never wanted them, and a lot of heterosexual people will share my view, many people simply do not want children. So why should that hinder them from getting married? Many straight couples get married and they are never able to have children, either through old age, or infertility or from simply not wanting them.

Lastly - if a same sex couple truly wanted children, they can have them through other methods such as IVF.

Not everyone believes in your religion, though it's an interesting point of view.

Anyway - being gay isn't a moral choice, it's just a factor of who I am, such as having blonde hair or blue eyes or being a certain height, i'm unable to change that, no matter what I did. Sure I could go and buy brown eye contacts to hide my eye colour, but why should I if i'm not doing anything wrong by having blue eyes?

(The eye colour is just an example)

So god gave man free will and then said you'll be punished if you don't do exactly as I say?

Your god sounds like kind of a jerk.

But now the government at every level from local school district on up to the presidency is promoting faggotry and deviance to OUR KIDS, 24/7/365, on OUR dime!

You are confusing indifference with acceptance. Most people of any age couldn't care less if someone is gay. It's not until you start messing with the kids in public elementary schools and getting laws changed that benefit only you. It's holding ridiculous 'kiss-ins' at Chick-fil-a and those childish signs you hold up at those 'demonstrations.' It's defacing property with silly graffiti that said "tastes like hate" on one Chick-fil-a. It's attacking churches like the one in Lansing Michigan. It's marching down Main Street USA in your R rated 'pride' parades. Your side is beginning to piss people off with your intrusive methods. It isn't going to win you any friends and those people that were indifferent will start to work against you just as they did last Wednesday at an amazingly strong showing in support of traditional marriage.

[QUOTE who="Well...Crap"]Re ally, don't all you folks get tired of fighting with each other. Don't you wish everyone could just be proud to be Americans and let it go? Honestly, I think Obama has intentionally pit Americans against each other. Why would be do that?[/QUOTE]

How is that "letting go" going to work?

Do you think gay folks can just stop fighting for equal protection for their families? Would you?

And, sadly, those that want to harm our families and kids often do it under the guise of a personal religious belief.

The only solution is for one side to "win".

Sadly.

And a large number of folks are rooting for the families and kids.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Cancer

The question of who and what you should believe is never far away today. Someone could easily mislead you, although it's a moot point whether they do this intentionally or not. Or there could be a communication glitch that means no one knows what's going on. Be very careful when handling money because there could be lots of silly mistakes, and if you're really unlucky there might also be some double-dealing too.
