The Obssession with Homosexuality

[Andres]

Those are few out of many, so are homosexuals, why consider a "should".

Ehm, I'm not sure if I understand your cryptic post correct.

Are you saying infertile couples must not be allowed to marry?

I really have no idea why this is an argument, just because they are an exception?

Well, you say marriage is for reproduction. So, by that same logic, infertile straight couples must not be allowed to marry either.

Or do you think straight infertile couples should be allowed to marry?

If so, then why should they be allowed to marry and gays not, since both can't have children.

Sure, so do gays. They can marry their pc if they want to. They don't need my aproval do they.

Cool, Fred Phelps and the team are coming over to Scotland for the meeting of our Kirk's General Assembly. I think I should go to get his autograph, just for the lulz.

In any case, hopefully my minister will give some insight into the matter tomorrow, I know some of the congregation will not be pleased with what is being proposed.

I have just a few comments on this whole marriage thing-a-ma-bobber.

1) Marriage isn't all that sacred. If it was a sacred act, then half of american marriages wouldn't end in a divorce. That crosses all spectrums of religion and ethnicity. If people were so concerned about marriage's sanctity, they should be doing more about the divorce issue leaving hundreds of thousands(millions? ) of kids growing up in environments where their otherwise loving parents treat them as a piece of property while hurling swear words at their counterpart. Go try and fix that first, then complain about the gays ruining marriage.

2) Why do people care so much theologically? Its not as though Judaism created the idea. Its a universal concept designed to promote harmony, safe childbirth, and minimize inbreeding. Pagan Romans did. Chinse have done it. Native Americans have done it. Indians have done it. Africans have done it. Trobriand Islanders have done. Etc....And....? Yes, Christianity adopted it. Of course it did, its a pretty darned good thing for society. That said, its not like Jesus ever married. As far as we can tell Biblically, Jesus didn't have a whole lot to say about the matter, and apparently didn't care for creating a demi-deity while on earth. Ya, there's old testament stuff on homosexuality being a bestial act and all that, but really, come on. You gotta try harder than that. There's all sorts of old testament stuff that a lot of Jews today don't even follow(like stoning women for touching a guys crotch during a dispute). Heck, how many christians follow the dietary laws, or the other 500 some odd laws that were laid down? Its a weak, insincere argument coming from mostly theological hypocrites.

3) How does it actually affect people? Doesn't affect me if gays start gettting married in the courthouse. Lots of people do it. Last I checked, I was afflicted with boils the last time a straight couple was allowed to marry. My state legalized gay marriage a bit ago, and guess what? STILL NO BOILS! If they are going to hell, then guess what? Their decision, between them and god, and I frankly can't see how I'm going to do a whole lot about it. If God does exist, then he'll pass judgement on them, not me. I just don't see how anyone can be getting themselves so worked up over other people's private lives.
