Are churches allowed to deny people of different religious faiths, or skin colour?

Apparently so. And I would consider it flamebaiting as well.

Fascinating...

So there are chicks that find two dudes making out hot, in the same way that there are dudes that find two chicks making out hot? Conceptually I suppose it makes sense, but given that I find dudes to be pretty friggin' ugly on the whole I guess it just never made sense that anyone would like that.

As for me...it'd probably be about like seeing some fat ugly dude run naked through said parking lot. It'd be an "Aaaaaw maaan, gross. Really?", followed by subsequent joking about the fags making out in the parking lot at some later time (like telling friends to watch out, cuz there's gays out there making out and stuff like that).

I don't see how that proves his point though. I mean clearly, as an appeal to the common perception that such things are gross it failed...because that common perception doesn't exist. Doesn't really prove much at all.

Yes (in the US anyway). A church can decide that it will only marry people with green eyes and brown hair who were born on a Tuesday if it so wishes. Hence the reason that I'm always amused when someone feels the need to make it explicit that they can also deny teh gays if they want to.

Why it's wrong

Postby Rentonburg » Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:43 pm

NO marriage it's outlined in the bible that it's wrong, what we should do it try to help those who think they are homosexual, realize that they aren't, when you mention what a homosexual does they get disgusted like we do, and then they reply, it's love, doing that IS NOT LOVE.

Oh, I am unconditionally attracted to men, and no amount of your brainwashing will "cure", aka torture out of me, me of this. This said, marriage existed long before the Bible, and will continue to exist long after the last bible disintegrates into dust.

No no, I get that. I get that women like men (though the why escapes me, I am glad they do), and I get that men like men, sometimes for some reason. It just didn't occur to me that a girl could like to watch men who like men kissing other men.

As I said, conceptually it comes as no surprise - it's just the flip-side of the well known concept of guys liking to watch two hot chicks make out. Even so, I guess I never took a moment to think about what that meant, let alone meet someone who actually thought that way.

So were you just saying that to make a point, or do you genuinely find dudes kissing dudes to be hot?

the bible is not a valid source for law. It may not even be a valid source for morality, but that's more debatable

on the rest, who is this "we"? I'm heterosexual and I'm certainly not disgusted by homosexuals.
Moreover homosexuality is pretty clearly more than a "belief" as about 5 minutes on Google or Wikipedia would have shown you. But hey, what's five minutes against the loving embrace of utter freaking ignorance.
