Scotland to legalize Gay Marriage

[Gaelic Celtia]

It is also not invented by the liberal" media. It was a concept drafted by the Founding Fathers and expressed in the Free Exercise clause, among others.

Just because it is not stated in black and white doesn't mean it isn't in the constitution.

That was my point, the term exists outside the constitution, specifically from one of our presidents. the idea however exists in our Constitution.

That was mostly directed at Phoenix, not you

[Othelos]

I'm sorry you had to go through that...

Thanks. My point was that knowing god does not in some way ensure you know happiness and safety. It is not some sort of shield, nor is it some sort of cure all.

Agreed. People idealize it because it feels better that way. Unfortunately, ideals don't always pan out.

MS?

I'm so sorry.

No, brain cancer. I was, in some ways a very religious person at the time.

I used to be religious at the time my grandmother began to slip away. Prayed a lot, and for a moment I thought it worked. Her passing didn't really affect my faith, since I didn't really believe in miraculous recoveries anyway.

Good on ya Scotland.

Good to see more countries getting more freedoms.

Australia should legalize it next...

Sometimes it hard to tell over the internet.

It doesn't help when I quote the wrong person either

Yeah. Noone did that kid. Calm yourself. Many even expressed admiration for your position

I am not righteous. I am a sinner like all. God is righteous.

Then why do you place yourself on a high horse, and spit on everyone else around you and act like you are god and pass judgement?

I'm not trying to come off that way Sorry if I did. I am not trying to passing judgement or spitting. Just sharing what I believe as a result of reading God's word.

[Othelos]

Phoenixfox, you still have yet to provide a single valid reason that gay marriage should be banned.

I have provided numerous reasons. Whether you consider them "valid" personally is up to you.

Your reasons are completely subjective. You have yet to provide some legitimate objective reasons.

Just....let it go.

First of all, don't flame.
Second of all, opinions have to earn respect.
Last, but not least, the phrase is "don't shove your beliefs down my throat", and that's hardly what we are doing. Criticism is not censorship.

Unfortunately, it did. Sometime's how you say something is bigger than what you say.

[Luveria]

Why are you against it?

I just find it unatural.

Enjoy. Now you are aware it is natural.

Im not a homophobe I'm just not in support.

Homophobia is defined as an irrational aversion to homosexuality. It's quite a wide range of behaviours that fall under being categorized as homophobia.

The issue is do you have a reason to be opposed to same-sex couples being allowed to marry each other?

But they don't infringe my rights so they can live thiers i live mine.

Same-sex marriage equality results in you having less marriage rights? It doesn't work that way.

Well, I suppose that means you checked out my link, then? After all, those were facts and not beliefs.

You passed judgement. You said SSM is offensive. And the basis of your beliefs is that you think homosexuality is wrong.

I...hoped. The reason it affected me so badly is because of the way in which he died, not so much that he died. It changed me in a few ways, it made me question, in a way my religious studies class never did. It also made me decide that even if god did exist, it was me who had to take action, that whether or not it existed, I would have to be the one to change my world.

[Phoenixfox]

Hmmm...I admit you may be right about this. I don't want to treat LGBT people as second class citizens, but I also don't want them to defile marriage. I am conflicted... What should I do?

Mind your own business.

No one is forcing you to get married to a person of the same sex.

Do you think God would approve if I just sat back and let sin win? It seems like the easiest thing for me to do, but the right thing is not always the easy thing.

He would not disapprove.

According to you it is sin. Other Christians, including homosexual Christians, don't believe that homosexuality is a sin. You don't get to decide what is a sin or not.

Your beliefs oppress others' beliefs. Keep your god's word out of the legal system and I won't bother you.

I do not think god approves of passing judgement, or assuming to know what he wnats.

Feel free to revel in your victory. I did not read through the thread. In fact, I didn't read anything other than one post on the page. You didn't beat me to anything. We both reached the same outcome independently by our own doings.
