honestly, this thread imo (opinion so dont flame me or anything for it) seems like a thing of "look at these people who have different beliefs, lets talk about how stupid they are to believe in it."

Probably because they are.

Opposing gay marriage is stupid and pointless.

"People who dissagree with me are stupid because its stupid to dissagree with me!"

that's an opinion to say that, and a lot of people are expecting us Christians to change our religion so we can accommodate them. If we would, we would be going against one of the main rules of Christianity to not allow gay people to marry in our religion. We can be accepting of people and not hate them, which i agree, homophobic people are a problem that need to be dealt with, it's just that there is a majority of people who are christian and cant grasp what being accepting of others really is, and the people who accept them as people, but just dont want them to marrWe can always say that we were given a bunch of rules to follow, and we're going to follow them.
TL;DR: homophobic people are the problem, and it just so happens a lot of them are christian.

If Christians are stopping gay marriage then they are just as much of a problem as family men. Leave homoloveual people alone and let them do whatever the forget they want. It doesn't matter if it's not "spiritual" or "faithful" or whatever the forget... There is seriously absolutely NO reason to NOT accept gay marriage other than denying the fact that it is just another way that humans and lifestyles are evolving and it's against what YOU believe in.

Yes there is, we're following what our church told us to do, if you have a problem with that, well deal with it. If you think that people who are against gay marriage are subhuman in any way then you are as bad as the family men. Also, it seems you have no respect for people who are religious in any way. Try to think of that before talking to people, you "edgy" teen.

[DrJarbot]

Also, they arent being homophobic, because they are being tolerant of them, just not letting them marry. It does matter with spirituality, because we're following god's rules.
EDIT: OP, please lock the topic. I dont want this to spiral into a flamewar. Buildabox, if you have any problem with me, just PM how dumb and subhuman you think i am, and how neildegrasse sagan is the best thing that ever happened to you.

You: "We're following what are church told us to do, deal with it"
Homoloveual: "We're following our heart and pursuing our love, deal with it"

Homoloveuals could say the exact loving thing as you.  And I do have respect for religious people, but people against gay marriage just make my blood boil because... Well... Every reason I said before.

Also, you said its what YOU believe in, then why dont you just leave us alone and allow us to oppose gay marriage?

Because of the fact that you're interfering with making it even possible...

Not all christians are going after gay marriage. A lot (like myself, i try to be neutral but i understand why the church is doing it) just watch from the sidelines. I'm pissed because you're acting like everybody who dosent believe in what you believe in is dumb, and some people are trying to let gay people be gay people and not do anything about it (against or for). Let us believe in what we want to believe in, and i'll let you believe in what you believe in. It's not like i'm saying all athiests are dumb because they don't believe in god, but you're basically saying the same but in reverse.

Well you sure didn't act neutral.

I am acting neutral because what i'm trying to say ( also i'm sorry if i got the messages wrong, but i'm trying to come across as neutral, ok?) is that just let us believe in what we believe in. If we believe in something but don't publicly rant about how it needs to be eradicated 24/7, that sounds pretty dang neutral to me.

Marriage is far older than Christianity. You can't take something that is not unique to you; that your religion did not create, in a country founded on (among other things) freedom of religion without persecution, and demand that everyone follows your rules for it.

If we would, we would be going against one of the main rules of Christianity to not allow gay people to marry in our religion.

You do realize that if gay marriage is legalized, churches would (or at least, should, imo) have the right to refuse to marry them?

[Tonkka²]

I don't understand why do people even fight over the right to have homoloveual intercourse. Isn't it obvious enough that someones inability to have love with the opposite gender is none of anyone's business except the guy himself? Only reason why someone would start fighting over this would be because they would be afraid of homoloveual people looking at them in the changing rooms.

I will make this as short as possible. When you quote the bible, or any biblical tome to defend a stance against homoloveuality: you are either a hypocrite, a self-centered religious fanatic, or simply intolerant of things that are different from your perfect little world - which makes you an arrogant bafoon.

The reason being is that you cannot use a specific set of passages from the bible to defend your opinion if you ignore all the other parts of the bible. This is called cherry picking, it is an extremely common tactic to use when quoting the bible. Take for example, the idea that marriage is between one man and one woman; a common phrase to be heard around a group of religious zealots. If you took the time to actually look at the bible, or hell, even a Google search; you can find out quite quickly that marriage IS NOT solely defined as being between one man and one woman. Marriage is between: one man and one woman, one man and multiple women, one man and the girl he raped, one man and his concubines, One man and his dead brother's wife, and one man and the slave he bought from another man.. There are even rules for a man with multiple wives: (Deuteronomy 21:15).
