gay marriage in the US

[walrus]

I do find it strange that gayness has become such a mainstream issue when it includes such a small percentage of the population. I don't think they should be discriminated against because of there sexual preference but I also don't think the definition of marriage should have been changed for what I believe is at or around two percent of the population. I don't think gayness should be outlawed or the government should pass laws that come into the bedroom but it does seem a bit out of proportion to me. Oddly, the libertarian party has been kicked out of several gay pride marches in the US. Prejudice and intolerance can be commical at times

Dont think it has anything to do with the bed room when we know the act has no effects on anyone other than the participants. Some people are in love and dont have sex both in the straight community and in the gay community would they be ok? Or would you choose to tell them also who they can and cant love and who they cant share a legal commitment with? If its a religious stance only and you are following the letter of the book, start stoning everyone cause it tells you to do that too for many other reasons not just this one.

Yes it does Andre, but do you recall that Christ put a stop to that.

Why? Had God got it wrong for a couple thousand years ? Was it justifiable back then?

No not really Beanz. It's just a theological thing. Christ payed for our sins. That of course is the nutshell. Prior to Christ the Israelites were gods arm of justice but I'm sure you are not looking for a theological discussion from me.

The idea of Christ paying for everyone's sins was the start of a slippery slope for Christianity. It soon led to all kinds of heinous things being done in his name. Not such a big change from the misguided Hebrews who made Judaism their own idol.

Interesting take on things. Is that the final say on the matter or do other thoughts hold any merit.

Men are spiritually bunkrupt to pay for their sins, you cannot drag yourself from a swamp my pull your own hairs with your hand.

This is why God intervened and provided HIS OWN righteousness.
