And i would imagine that you have had a personal conversation with God. Why do you think that these individuals aren't worthy of having the same rights as you have? You may not agree on this religious idea, but shouldn't they have the same rights as you when it comes to inheritance etc. I can't find anywhere in the bible that God speaks about gays. All of these religious crackheads always pick out a couple of verses and go with it. THese are same folks that wouldn't allow Blacks in their church and the discrimination against jews. It may not be today, but in the future I think the United States will allow these individuals the same rights under the constitution that everyone has. it's easy to hate isn't it.

Could someone tell me how heterosexual marriages are so great? Given the proportion that end in divorce and/or with screwed up children, I am very reluctant to condemn gay marriages.

Well it does say in the Bible that same sex should not lay together. But i go to Church and i do believe in God, but i have very good friends that are gay and they are the opposite sex as me. They treat me better than my own children do and they are like my sons. They have compassion for others and respect. So please don't judge gays if you don't really know any personally.

To hell with god, to hell with marriage, and to hell with you! Not everybody cares about your ancient, outdated book!
Why do you care what someone else does with their own life? It can't hurt you.

It is disguisting and immoral.

I don't have to explain, it's my right to be against it, no matter what my reason is.

I too, have friends that are gay, but I still think it's wrong and a sin against nature. Human bodies were created for hetrosexual sex, they is why it takes a male and female to creaate life. No matter what your opinion is on this issue, everyone can "find" reasons to either support or oppose. This is just my feelings. The homosexual people I know are wonderful, caring human beings, I would never be anything but nice and respectful to them, but my feeling on the issue will remain the same.

I don't care what people do in their own homes, but I do not think it should be a legal marriage in the eyes of the law.

Then it's my right to despise everything you and everything you stand for. This country would be a much better place if they would just abolish christianity and make going to church a crime punishable by death. the only thing religion accomplishes is creating weak willed fools who need the threat of eternal punishment to make them be good.

How is getting on topix and calling the life they live wrong and immoral being Nice and respectful to them?

They are human, just like you. And just like you they should have equal rights.

What they do, no matter if you agree with it or like it, is there right to do it.

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

its not your life to live, no matter if the religion you follow permits it or not.

Thats is forcing your religion on others and your way of life on others.

I didn't force anything.

Why do homosexuals (non-christian) want to have a CHRISTIAN marriage anyway?

At least your sincere, but would your feelings on the issue keep them from getting basic rights. i often think that the marriage act may be more than our society is willing to accept, but at least they should have the other rights that would be important to them such as inheritance, survivor benefits etc. im speaking about people that have been in long term relationship not these i met johnny last week kind of situations. my only concern here is the hate and anger disposed at them. i know we are all judgemental to a point, but with hate included it's not good for society as we can see from our past relationships with other groups that we as society didn't think had a place. well anyway your not one of those hating rating types of people. i don't have any problem with people embrassing their religion, but when they wish to take rights away from other people i beleive in separation.

I don't judge anyone on how they live. I myself would never do it but I will not condime those who does

WTF, are you really that ignorant? you do know people of other religions and faiths get married right?

Right?

People get married every day that are not of religious nature.

You ARE trying to force your beliefs on other people claiming marriage is christin in nature.

You also realize people got married LONG before the bible came along right?

My question was why do homosexuals desire a christian ceremony? You're avoiding the question.

Marriage in america is a secular insitution- not allowing same sex couples the right to marry is a violation of there constitutional and civl rights. The same arguements trhat are used against same sex marriage were used against interracial marriage. It is not the concern of the governemnt or private citizens what two consenting adults choose to do with each other. One day soon are great nation will be ashamed about how we discrimibated against same sex couples. There is no logical or rational reason that government ought to not allow same sex marriage.
