Okay that's stupid.
I also think fornication is a sin. I'm not going to create laws against it.
OR adultery, etc.
We are NOT talking about laws. We are talking about what is considered a sin in the Bible.
Next you will claim we are, because of "gay marriage" blah blah blah.
Sorry, but it is not Christians forcing a change to any laws, IT'S THE GAYS.
Gay marriage has never existed the HISTORY of the world. Go back to Ancient cultures. Look at Greece where homosexuality was touted and encouraged. THERE WAS NEVER A THOUGHT OF MARRIAGE.
As a matter of fact the "normal" relationship in ancient Greece was pedophilia. YES, that's true. Look it up. Pedophilia. Guess where the word pederasty comes from. Bingo! Greece! It means quite literally "love of boys."
That's how it worked most of the times in Greece (for example, cultures like Sparta) An older man, preying on a young boy, and we he got tired of him and wanted another young boy, er I mean decided the boy was ready to "move on," he would find a wife for the "youth." THEN the boy would be married. But it was always to a WOMAN, not another guy.
It's gays who are trying to FORCE LAWS on us, changing the concept of marriage to something that HAS NEVER EXISTED.
Marriage is an institution for raising a family (and just because some couples can't have children doesn't change that. There are always exceptions to the rule, that doesn't CHANGE the rule)
I don't care how you cut it, the ONLY institution were you create a child IS A MAN AND A WOMAN. -- PERIOD!
I always appreciate people making my case for me. Let's talk about Adultery.
It's one of the BIGGIES in the 10 Commandments....but Adulterers are allowed to marry...and marry...and marry.
People even got killed (ok, women got killed)for Adultery....but there is no DOMA for Adulterers.
There are most likely MORE adulterers in the country than there are gay people....but no religious effort to deprive Adulterers of the rights of marriage.
Adultery is, without a doubt, a CHOICE....but again, no state propositions to take away the right of Adulterers to marry or have children.
Adultery destroys the sanctity of marriage on a daily basis in ALL states...but no one is doing a damn thing to legally put curbs on it.
Now you are trying to make an artificial argument about "fair."
It's not fair that one sinner can marry and someone else, can't blah blah blah.
But "fair" doesn't come into it. It's not fair I have to gain weight, get stretch marks, and get surgery scars (two C-sections) to have my children, while my husband's part of the equation is a night of fun.
There's no such thing as fair.
Fair has nothing to do with it. NOR is it only about two people wanting to ****. That's what is so self centered about those focused ONLY on sex when it comes to marriage.
Marriage is about RAISING FAMILIES, AKA FOR THE BENEFIT OF CHILDREN.
The country knows that. That's why most states (like Ohio) where they have put the pay marriage on the ballot, it goes down to defeat. (In Ohio it was a 70% NO to gay marriage. In California, liberal California, If I remember correctly it was 90% NO)
As imperfect and "unfair" as life is, adulterers can make children, a gay man with a gay man cannot. A gay woman, with a gay woman cannot.
Most people in this country are NOT willing to change the BASIC FUNDAMENTAL PROTECTION that children have which is MARRIAGE.
I mean look at the flash mobs going on right now being committed by gangs. What do most gang members have in common? NO FATHERS--SINGLE MOTHERS.
You look at gangs in this country and it becomes obvious how necessary FAMILIES are to a stable community, and how hell breaks loose when that isn't true.
Remember, Rome fell from within first, before it fell from invasions.
The last thing we need is ANOTHER ATTACK on the only thing that protects children in a increasingly dangerous (to children) world.
Most people understand this, and consider that far more important than the gay political agenda.
Because, when you get right down to it, most people understand the ONLY reason gays wanted marriage (something they never asked for since the dawn of history, before the 1990s) is to attack hetrosexual marriage because of their own selfish resentments against hetrosexual marriage.
