No one asked for the point of view of a bible thumping christian. The point is for you to express your point of view. If the forementioned POV isn't yours, then please feel free to share your own views with the rest of us.

you know I think if people like britney spears are allowed to breed and get married and then divorced within 24 hrs. then it shouldn't matter. People like her make a mockery of marriage already, why not allow people that really care and love eachother the same right?
that comment reminds me of something i saw on a tv show

GOD (the chap who created everything) cleary is against it, whether you
are a JEW, Muslim or Christian. Each of these religions holy books have numerous verses condemning "the discusting thing".And seeing all our laws are based on these religious teachings.. obvious really.
You could have the liberal approach "it´s not thier fault, they were born that way" so were mass murderers, child molesters etc.. should we tolerate them as well?
I recon Gay people should do thier own thing in private and not be allowed to have children, influence other people or get married.
Marriage itself is also a gift from God, how can people recieve this gift if they go against Gods rules.
Read the first ****ing ammendment, Religion shouldn't have any influence on legislature, by your logic, atheists are felons.

The words "religion" and "fact" should never be used in the same sentance, unless it's for irony.
Your argument is fundementally flawed to the point of being laughable.

as Capt_Fantastic said..i hope this was sarcasm. marriage a gift from god? its primarily a government thing right?
religion shouldn't be seen as a fact.
i myself am bisexual and i have a boyfriend. i love him very much and would like to marry him someday.
marriage is a gift yes- but not from god.
its just something that is there to help u in life. and to (most importantly) announce ur love to the world.
i doubt god really wanted to give something like that to everyone. plus, marriage is something that is in many religions and it also can have nothing to do with religion. it depends on the couple.
oh yes, god gave marriage to Adam and eve listen to this: "Then the Lord God said, "It isn't good for man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him."So the lord God caused the man to sleep very deeply. While the man was asleep, God took one of his ribs from the man's body. Then God closed the man's skin at the right place where he took the rib. The lord God used the rib from the man to make a woman. So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife. And the two people will become one body. It has been prov en that a woman has an extra rib than a man.

1. homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.2. heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.
3. obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since britney spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.
7. gay marriage is not supported by religion. in a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. that's why we have only one religion in america.
8. gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. people may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. that's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. gay marriage will change the foundation of society. heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or longer lifespans.
12. civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name, are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. separate schools for african-americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
i somehow missed the humor in all that. 😕

i agree. what a racial, sexist, out-of-date, closed-minded, offensively ignorant think to say... 🙄
i don't really agree with homosexuality, but why does the govt have the right to say who someone can or cannot fall in love with, let alone spend the rest of their lives with?
one of my best friends had a homosexual experience and i don't view her any different.
I'd prefer them to marry, then ithere'd be a lesser chance that they'd have sex with a normal person making it less likely for them to pass on the "gay gene" if it exists at all. Basically wiping them out in a few hundred years.
Us normals would still have to tolerate the "trendy gays", but usually they grow out of it after they see how disgusting it is.
But, whatever, I'll tolerate gays only as far as I'm legally forced to.
