In defense of Bear, he has the right to his own opinion as much as you do.

And I have the right to claim his opinion is moronic. He can claim mine is moronic as well.

But he doesn't have evidence for mine being moronic, so we're not exactly on equal footing.

Wow, that's not discriminatory at all. Seriously, it's natural and exists, even if illegal.

Are we really going with this? It's human bullshit just like every other holy book, designed to control people and make them subservient before a deity that probably doesn't even fucking exist.

And you know what, I wouldn't care about it, either, except it and other trash holy books are getting in the fucking way of civil rights. People want to believe it, fine, but don't get in the way of others having civil rights. Then I get angry, then I call them out on their bullshit.

Fixed. The USA isn't the only country that has homophobes in it. Russia and many other countries fit into that category.

It turned into one as soon as he cited religion as a reason for homosexuality being wrong and immoral. He wants to bring big guns to the table, I'll meet him at it. So unless he'd like to leave religion out of this, I won't, either.

Unless anyone has a valid, secular reason why gay marriage shouldn't take place, I don't see any excuse besides pure bigotry when opposing the union of two people who love each other and can give legal consent.

Western Europe no longer has problems with gays because they legalized gay marriage almost entirely in Western Europe. Eastern Europe is more reserved about it but is changing slowly, except in Russia they are going backwards compared to Western Europe .

my question is how are people going to believe a book taken from the jews, then changed in some parts, then translated in to greek, then translated into latin, that is alo highly interpreted, that also teaches peace. as for the quran it was also taken from the jews and changed from mohammad who couldnt read or write, so whos to say that the guy who wrote the quran changed things.
