I am not a Christian, but I am not an Atheist either. I don't claim any specific religion nor do I condemn any certain one. I do consider myself a religious scholar who likes to fight fire with fire. Read the verse of YOUR bible above. Now how can people be active Christians without recognizing homosexuality as a sin as labeled above? Because Christians are notorious for twisting the words of the bible to their liking. How many ways can you interpret two lines of text? I've been trying to figure that one out for years.
<quoted text> Because there are lots of things in the bible that they choose to ignore. Things said even more clearly than that. However, they cling to the 3 areas in the bible that might even remotely be referring to homosexuality.

Marriage is a contract in the eyes of government. Government should not stop me from having a contact with aproximatly 50% of the adult population. To do so interferes with my "pursuit of happiness" and puts me at an economic disadvantage barred by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
And to all you religious nuts who say "Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve" do you really believe that the universe was created in 7 days? Or that eve came from Adam's rib when biologically fetuses are basically female for the first couple months? Furthermore, science is showing homosexuality to be both physiological and with genetic roots and if you can't understand it maybe it's one of "God's Mysteries".

" I want my children to be able to grow up in world with morals and values. Gary was right in saying it is not the governments job to regulate our social lives. It is "We the People" who must regulate our indivivual lives. "
--- Funny, Out of the gay people I know, they seem alot more morally sound than some of these straight folk.
"Funny enough, while all of the hype is on the equality of homosexuals, no regular media will admit that several studies have been done on homosexuality, and it has been PROVEN that homosexuality is caused my psycholigical problems. It is basically a scream for help, much like repeated suicide attempts. "
======= sounds alot like the studies that proved that parents were to blame for their children being handicapped, you still believe that?

I believe Marty's comments were a joke. He was just displaying how rediculous this dispute is about gay's marrying. What people need to ask is what is so special about marriage rather than living together? I only see two reasons (there's more, I know) One is for tax and benefit purposes. The other is adopting children. The first should be allowed in gay marriages, but not adopting children!

I do have a question for the vast majority of "straight" men. If homosexuality is a bad thing, then why do most "straight" men get so turned on by watching two women together, ie; two women in a porn movie? If homosexuality is a bad thing, then I'd think it would be in that case as well. What's "up" guys?
Or are you just that insecure or feel threatened by another guy who is gay? Be careful, watch out for that guy in the office/ the next cubical, or in the shower in the gym, or sitting next to you at the baseball game, he might be looking at "it". I can't imagine going through life feeling that insecure. Remeber, "just say no", doesn't apply just to drugs.........idiot.

By the way, all the straight guys that are worried about homosexuality out there, remember this. Just because a guy is married does not mean he's not into men. People live in denial through marriage. Alot, and I do mean alot, of guys claim to be "bisexual. That means that when you and your married buddy go on that fishing trip, golf outing,to the gym, business trip, etc., what else might he be fishing for or looking at when in the shower or locker room. You've looked at "it" too haven't you? Is that really a question?
But, I will say to all men, I really hope you're not that self-centered and think that highly of yourserlves to think that all gay men want you. If you're straight, do all the women want you.......NO. So why would all of the gay men want you? Look in the mirror buddy!
Now go get the boys together for a golf outing, fishing trip, or whatever!!!!
Later
