Gods Own Party Can’t Get Over Same Sex Marriage

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Pervs are going to perv. In the USA we have the freedom to perv.

Thank you for that brilliant and well thought out commentary on an important topic concerning the well being of children
and human rights

It apparent that you are very intelligent and sensitive to the plight of minorities and those who cannot fend for themselves. You are more than a credit to the USMB and consistently raise the level of intellectual discourse

Thank you. We are fortunate to live where people have the freedom to perv.

To a point. Perversion includes doing harm to children and families and that is not a right

Just as they have been working to water down Roe v. Wade , with restrictions on abortion, they continue to concern themselves with another, more recent decision, Obergfelle v Hodges which made same sex marriage the law of the land.

They are obsessed with people private lives and social issues, while purporting to be the party of freedom and individual responsibility.

While the country is facing numerous threats and problems both foreign and domestic, they can’t keep their noses out of people’s bedrooms. While they are hell bent on allowing Wall Street to run amok, and letting corporations pollute the planet, women, gays and other who they disapprove of must be tightly controlled.

While they are not actively seeking to overturn Obergefell- that know that even with a conservative SCOTUS- it would be a long road to hoe. So as with Roe, they are finding ways to water down the gains that have been made with respect to choice, privacy, and equality. Consider:

Georgia is on its way to creating a law that would allow state-funded adoption agencies to turn away LGBTQ couples ― or, more specifically, to turn away any parents the agencies don’t approve of based on religious beliefs.

Make no mistake: This anti-LGBTQ adoption bill is part of a wide-reaching plan by religious conservatives ― backed by President Donald Trump and his administration ― to turn same-sex marriage into second-class marriage with a longer-term goal of overturning federal marriage rights for gays and lesbians entirely.

Adoption is only one of several fronts on which they are attacking:

By getting courts to rule that wedding-related businesses can turn away gay couples based on the business owners’ religious beliefs, by allowing governments to refuse to give the same benefits to spouses within same-sex marriages as they do to those within opposite-sex marriages, and by allowing adoption agencies to say no to LGBTQ parents.

I

t is really in those three major areas- adoption, public accommodation, and benefits- that equality is being assailed. I do not believe for a Nano second that this is about religion or religious freedom. It’s about bigotry-plain and simple. It is not about concern for the children either. It is about bigotry.

Furthermore, in the Huston Texas case where the Texas Supreme Court rules that married same sex couples on the city payroll were not necessarily entitle to employee benefits is clearly bigotry because it has nothing to do with religion and clearly is harmful to the children of those couples.

Is that what God would want? These issues, along wth the myriad of so call "bathroom bills " aimed at trans people make it clear that the GOP is hell bent on making life as difficult as possible for LGBT people in order to appease the religious right.

It's an abomination to the Lord

/thread

Who cares? We're not under your christian sharia.

The OP bright God into it, moron. Once again, there is no such thing as "christian sharia"....stop making shit up

I'm curious. Is unprotected sex with a porn star OK now?
Obviously, if you follow a leader who "indulges" then you can't complain.

This word 'abomination', which the religious nutters keep bleating first appeared in the King James translation, and, like the 'virgin birth', is a clear mistranslation, and a corruption of the intent of the authors.
From Does the Bible Really Call Homosexuality an “Abomination”?
The word “abomination” is found, of course, in the King James translation of Leviticus 18:22, a translation which reads, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.” Yet this is a thoroughly misleading rendition of the word toevah, which, while we may not know exactly what it means, definitely does not mean “abomination".....
Deut. 12:31, 13:14, 17:4, 27:15, and 32:16 further identify idolatry, child sacrifice, witchcraft, and other “foreign” practices as toevah, and Deut. 20:18 says that avoiding toevah justifies the genocide of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanaites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. So, toevah is serious, but it is serious as a particular class of cultic offense: a transgression of national boundary. It is certainly not “abomination.”

The general consensus of scholars (not bible-study pundits) is that the word means 'ritually impure', and is just another piece of religious propaganda.

Yeah except homosexuality is called a sin throughout the Bible.

Moron

What did Jesus say about it?

And of course because of that , we here in secular America should enact policies and laws that punish children for the "sins " of their parents. Right? Moron

Who said that, moron? I'm simply stating homosexuality is a sin according to the Lord. You brought God into it and once again you're all over the map trying to justify yourself. You all want to be pretend married go right ahead....I don't recognize it, God doesn't and millions of others don't either.

You are against same sex marriage. Depriving people of the legal, economic and social advantages of having married, legal parents harms their children . What partof that do you not get?

I did not bring God into it . You religious perverts brought God into it. That's right -perverts. You have perverted the whole concept of God into a hateful being in order to justify your hatred.

Lastly, I don't give a rats hind parts what you think of me,or what you belive I am . You are beyond contempt

Like so many others here, theregressiveprat, I find your posts very amusing.

Also it was only a couple of weeks ago that you said you regularly start threads on a wide variety of subjects, I haven’t seen anything fitting that description, but here is yet another one in an endless parade that is basically about LBGTQ ‘issues’.Lol.

And you’ve had plenty of coherent and rational responses from me and others on the other LGBTQ thread - you know - the one where you were slaughtered. Lol.

I’m sorry if the fact that your obsession with all things gay amuses me and causes you discomfort, but there’s nothing funnier than a septuagenarian SJW drama queen who is constantly damaging existing good feeling toward LGBTQ’s whilst remaining firmly in the closet himself! Lol,
Do you OUT people who don’t want to be outed too?

Change ONE little letter to Parriage, give 'em the same rights and you got a deal. Up to you to jigger the other terms like spouse, husband, wife..

Separate but equal ,Bubba? That worked real well in the civil rights era. And don't forget that many of those religious bights were opposed to any form of legal recognition.

Sorry you feel that way.. You got a great marching slogan there, but it does not wash. Same sex marriage does have other implications for the law. And how divorces, domestic violence and "violence against women" statutes get adjudicated.

It's a simple proposition to acknowledge important differences. And actually to the benefit a class that wants to be "special".. Got nothing to do with bigotry. It's got to do with biology and semantics and tolerance of tradition. Wouldn't hurt anyone to simply call it something different.

This word 'abomination', which the religious nutters keep bleating first appeared in the King James translation, and, like the 'virgin birth', is a clear mistranslation, and a corruption of the intent of the authors.
From Does the Bible Really Call Homosexuality an “Abomination”?
The word “abomination” is found, of course, in the King James translation of Leviticus 18:22, a translation which reads, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.” Yet this is a thoroughly misleading rendition of the word toevah, which, while we may not know exactly what it means, definitely does not mean “abomination".....
Deut. 12:31, 13:14, 17:4, 27:15, and 32:16 further identify idolatry, child sacrifice, witchcraft, and other “foreign” practices as toevah, and Deut. 20:18 says that avoiding toevah justifies the genocide of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanaites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. So, toevah is serious, but it is serious as a particular class of cultic offense: a transgression of national boundary. It is certainly not “abomination.”

The general consensus of scholars (not bible-study pundits) is that the word means 'ritually impure', and is just another piece of religious propaganda.

If you do not want to believe that God considers homosexuality to be an abomination, then, have at it. You have the religious freedom to believe what ever you want to believe. You do not have the right to tell the rest of us what to believe, or not to believe.

Personally, I don't give a tinker's damn about what any general consensus of scholars (not bible-study pundits) think a word might mean.

As consenting adults, homosexuals have the right, to do to each other whatever they please. It is a reasonably free country. Homosexuals do not have the right to insist that I, or anyone else, must approve of their behavior.

 

[ABikerSailor]

You know, there are several things here......................

First off, Leviticus is actually a manual for the Jewish priests in the Temple. And yeah, Leviticus is going to say that if a man lies with another man, it's an abomination because if you are a priest in the Temple, you are supposed to be focused on your duties as a priest, not shagging each other in the back room. I mean, the Catholics tried it, and look how well it worked out for them.

As far as homosexuality being a "sin"? Really? There are only 2 places in the Bible where I am aware of God giving mankind commandments, and both of them say basically the same thing. That is either the 7 Noahide Commandments or the 10 Commandments given to Moses. I challenge anyone to show me where there is a commandment against homosexuality. For that matter, I challenge anyone to show me a Bible verse that actually calls homosexuality a "sin". There aren't any.

So, you good Christians on here are totally against someone being gay, but you are cool with someone who steps out on his wife who has just given birth to have a 6 month affair with a porno star? Some values you guys have there.

I agree, but there doesn’t seem to be much appetite for anything other than hijacking established tradition.
Just like there seemed to be little appetite for having ‘their own’ bathrooms.
I remember a trans poster here said s/he was willing to shoot anyone who tried to prevent him/her from using whichever bathroom they wanted to use!
I know that’s just one person and anecdotal, but there are quite a few articles expressing the same kind of sentiments (without the shooting threats).

Gods Own Party Can’t Get Over Same Sex Marriage

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Oh, look! Another TheRegressivePedrvert pro-child-sexual-abuse thread, just like all the many others that he's previously started. Perhaps he imagines that this time, he'll actually be able to convince sane people to agree that handing children over to sick sexual perverts is a good idea.

What was that cliché about doing what has been done before, and expecting a different result?
