Gay marriage?

[Lip Job]

Marriage is now a legal bond, you don't need a church seremony to get married. I think it's fine if they get married, but if they do it in a Church... that's completely contradicting the religion, which is retarded.

Religion's change and basically your saying gay's can't have religion? I don't remember that in Jesus' teachings. Thus you sir are retarded.

seriously dont have a problem with it

[Stylish Bow]

I think they should be allowed to marry eachother, BUT on the other hand i'm not sure if im okay with gay couples adopting babies.

Something about gay couples adopting babies that just doesn't feel right. The kid might have a hard time growing up/getting accepted etc. So im fine with people getting married, but when they start dragging other lives into their own business, i'm not fine with it.

[Paxman]

Yes, they should be able to.

Only because religious faggots find in the bible that a marriage is between a man a woman.. fuck that. Everything is frowned upon when it's looked at through the bible's views, and it still happens.

People are ignorant.

This^

Religion is made up in my eyes. I'm not dictating but it isn't wise to take words from a really old book

step by step almost like it's a guide.

Gay marriage should be allowed, human rights, we should be aloud to do whatever we want,

no-one should tell others otherwise, we're (nearly, nowadays) all born the same.

I know quite a few people whose mum has gone lesbian after breaking up with their dad, should they not be allowed to be classed as the kid's mum anymore?

I know... that's what i'm saying... he's saying people shouldn't be able to adopt if they're gay, it's the same principle as if a lady who has already given birth goes gay tbh.

[Smush]

One of my teachers is a lesbian, adopted two kids from China, raised them perfectly fine.

I know many straight parents who have messed their children up even more.

I've changed my mind in a few short months.

[Lip Job]

I think we should have a vote and whoever go's against it gets gassed.

Why not? Catholic church may be gay and say no

derp

Sorry for double post

There is no debate over gay couples getting married.

Marriage is a religious term, therefore only the church has the right to say yes or no.

Their answer is pretty clear.

NO

well, "dumb shit"

in France "marriage" is very much a religious term which is given to two people who had their union celebrated in a church

heterosexual couples can choose to not celebrate it in a church, like homosexual couples, and their union is therefore not called "marriage"

I thought it was the same for the english term (maybe it is but you are too ignorant to know, idk)

anyways, no need to be so aggressive.

faggot

Religion fails

Gay marriage should be allowed. There is no "Sanctity" to marriage. There's no such thing as traditional marriage, as marriage has evolved (unarguably for the better) over the years. Banning gay marriage would be enforcing one rule in a bible, whilst so many other rules from the bible are ignored.

[Sam|L A S T Dayz]

so if gay marriage is such a "horrible thing that is absolutely vile and disgraceful and inhuman," then why do we hear stories about priests molesting children?

is that not more disgusting and horrible than 2 men, or 2 women who LOVE each other joining in marriage? if religion is so against immoral acts then why haven't the priests who rape kids been burned at the stake yet? or will that not happen because they are "holy".

religion needs to catch up to the 21st century. the world's view on a large amount of social behaviours and issues has changed from when religion was proven almighty.

let's please not fall into those paedo priests clichés...

those priests are not "holy" and are being treated like any other citizen would be... ie prison

religion is constantly changing. Maybe not fast enough, but it is changing. However the basis must remain the same (to me)

Man+man or woman+woman doesn't belong in a church.

[Benny The Leak LMAO]

Marriage is a commitment to each other that started through religion as you devote your entire life to one another. Marriage is a Christian based tradition and Christians look down on Faggots, why would gay people want to wed themselves if it based on a religion that is completely and utterly clear about their sexuality not being acceptable anyways?.. its beyond me..

NO in my opinion

[gfdgfd]

Marriage is not religious.... You can get married in a fuckin' registry office, nothing religious about that. When I get married, i'd only do it in a church because I know the woman would want that, I wouldn't be doing it to let 'god' bond us together, and who is anyone to say what people can't do just because they follow some cult.. The church gets paid for use of their halls so they can get over it.

I would hardly class Christianity as a cult..

Also the very Idea of Marriage is from the Bible, it started through religion.

For you to say "Marriage is not religious...." is completely incorrect. Sure nowadays its mostly just about committing to each other however the very basis off it is Christianity...

[Jesus]

Marriage is a religious term that was wrongly brought into the government. Should have kept church and state separate. That's where they went wrong in the first place. But I think gays should still have the benefits of married people, and the benefits shouldn't be based on the term "Marriage" in general

It is allowed.

I'm pretty sure what a lot of Christians preach is that God loves all people on Earth and is ever forgiving, however the act of not letting people marry because of their sexual preferences in some churchs' disproves that. Anyone who has a problem with gay marriage is a fool, it doesn't effect you you're complaining for no reason.

I'm no prophet but I'm pretty sure you are going to hell for that.

no but srsly what christans think is that god created man to go with a woman (which he created too BTW).

Therefore, same sex couples were not allowed, and many sodomites were hanged in the middle ages :lol:

Religion changes with the people, but the bases stay the same:

- MAN + WOMAN =  :nice:

- WOMAN + WOMAN =  (n)

- MAN + MAN =  (n)

if they want to live together, great w/e. They can even have the same status regarding the law.

but they will never have the same status as heterosexual couples regarding the church.

but WHY was it not allowed in the first place?

they can't reproduce. not cool.

[Smush]

Here's my two cents.

Marriage = Religious institution between a man+woman.

Civil Unions = For gay people, no religious connotation on this one, just a recognized relationship by the government with the same tax benefits as marriage, but not legally called a marriage.

So there we go. Problem solved, back to my rock.
