I have one question that I wish that a fundamentalist Christian would answer for me. So far, no one has been able to answer the question:
How does the marriage statues of people who are not part of your religion degrade marriage within your religion?
For example: polygamy is also a sin, and not allowed by Christian belief. How does the fact the many Muslim nations allow polygamy effect marriage in the Christian world?
it isnt about your relegion or my relegion shaky. its about THE relegion, the truth and the light, jesus christ {and his band of merry outlaws}!!!!!!!! all other relegions are false and handiworks of the devil. all people SHUD follow the right relegion and if they follow the wrong path, they MUST be guided onto the path of righteousness or destroyed without pity as evildoers. seeing as some christians have sway over these NON christians, the right laws SHUD be implemented on them. AMERICA is a christian country dammit dont you heathens know?! {its even in our constitution, really i swear!!!!!!}

Well then, they should not allow gays in there religion to get married. However, why should they stop gay Buddhists from getting married? Buddhists are heathen in their minds, so why should it matter to them what we do?
in terms of a christin "NOT IN MY BACKYARD YOU DONT!!!!!!!!!"
"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!" {im sure you can think of plenty others}
besides, were doing a GOOD thing by stopping those evil doers from sinning, its what god COMMANDED us to do, and his laws will rule in this world {through us christian lawmakers ofcuorse} as his will rules in heaven, and after all, were only saving them from the hell fire so its a good deed on my resume, so really, why NOT do it {apart from me not liking it, heck if it were upto me, id stand em in a line and execute em}

Now, if I can just get a Christian to be that truthful. 😉
^which is kinda ironic seeing that i was being UNTRUTHFUL there as i am not a christian. so technically, the christians are just as truthful as me! lol. oh no wait, they arent, seeing as i atleast am truthhful about their motivation{not to steretype but what the hell 😛 } while they falsify even the motivations of atheists and beleifs other then theiur own on top of lying about their own motivations and beleifs, so theyr twice as bad.
{lol, ok so not every christian is, obviously, just a lil humour}

In my response's defense, we're both Mormons. Mormons believe that the "founding fathers" were inspired by God.
They also believe that the garden of eden was in Missouri.
But, in defense of my response, I was really only addressing the other guy.
Not that any of this discussion should be of interest to a person that describes themselves as "practically an atheist".

My answer:
It doesn't in anyway shape or form. I've actually argued FOR any marriage type among consenting adults. My only exception to that rule: those not able to give legal consent cannot legally get married. Duh. 😄

True.

My bad. That's what it looked like. I was just throwing it out there because I did say that "God was the reason". Anytime I use that reasoning, I feel that it fails in an intellectual discussion for obvious reasons.

Religion is obviously still a part of my life so this type of discussion is still very much relevant. However, that doesn't change the fact that your comment holds truth.
On another note, he admitted I was completely right about everything. (You see, Bardock, my "tactics"did work.)
Here is what he had to say.
"I agree with everything you have said. D&C 134 supports all that you have said concerning prayer in school, etc. but, I still am hesitant to allow them to marry."
Here is a link to section 134. Don't worry, it is not heavily religious. Almost all of you will probably agree with it.

We agree, but I hope a fundamentalist Christian comes along and answers my question.

You ever hear the old joke "How do you know Adam wasn't Black?...A: Have you ever tried to take a rib from a black person? *rimshot*"
Well if Eden was in MO, then Adam was definitely black. And it was probably in Kansas City with all their famous BBQ.

However, to answer your question: No. I don't like to get drunk or high. That doesn't mean I drank or smoke in light moderation, but I just don't like to loose control. I used to be a real party animal, when I was young, and I was in a rock band.

Correction. I ran out of time. 😮
