That first fact I do not dispute. My reason for citing said cases is to show how we have made sense of it.

For the sake of American freedom, it is the rights of the homosexuals to be instituted in binds of marriage if they so choose it. Whether or not it is against God's rule means jack $#!+ honestly. Its not about what God wants. Its about freedom.

at least that is what America is SUPPOSED to stand for. The land of the free and the home of the brave.

I don't support gay marriage. However, I cannot oppose it.

As PT said, we cannot help how we are wired. by the age of 7 we have a 'love map' burned into our subconscious that shapes the way we see the people around us for the rest of our lives. That's not something we can control when we are only 7. Therefore, it is not something that should be held against someone when in regards to FREEDOM.

You as a Christan, or a believe of any faith, have only YOURSELF to think about when obeying the rules of your faith. You cannot control anyone Else's actions but your own, and it is wrong for you to attempt to limit the actions of another.

Last thing I will say to those of you who claim to be Christians.
Matthew 22:36-40 wrote:36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

this is what you should be living your life around. This is what you should be basing every decision you make around. These are the only two laws you ever need abide by.
In order to abide by them, you must first understand them. PM me if you care to learn more. It is only relevant here because you are claiming to be Christians here, and you are not following the second law, spoken by Jesus himself.

Have fun debating this one.

Who says I'm not following those commandments? I have love for everyone, I actually have many gay friends and even relatives. But I know that God created man and woman for each other as I quoted in Genesis 2:18-24. Just because I don't agree with homosexuality does not mean I reject those who are. I am merely explaining the laws we live by, or am I not entitled to free speech? Maybe you should also understand the bible before you start using it as a weapon against Christians who properly follow the teachings. Also, if you don't care what God wants then why quote his book? You can't just pick and choose whatever suits your argument.

You do not "know", you believe.

Surely I do not need to stress the monumental difference.

There is no way you could argue against homosexual rights. If Homosexuals actually love each other, and I wholeheartedly believe they do, then with the percentage of homosexuals in the world, somewhere between 5 and 10% depending on who you ask, and how it has survived many thousands of years, existing in cultures who have had no way of contacting each other than I can't believe it is some aberration. Some people are made to be gay like some people are made to be straight.

We are not a Christian nation. We are a democratic Republic, we are supposed to support the rights of the people. I'm 100% positive that Jesus would support the marriage of two people who LOVE each other no matter what gender they are more than two people who hate each other just because they aren't the same gender. There is no reason why marriage between consenting adults should be illegal just because some people have a different definition of what marriage is. If you don't support gay marriage, don't have one, that is your right, but your right stops at preventing others from getting married. The pursuit of happiness is one of the fundamental blocks on which our country was founded upon.

Well 'knowing' in regards to what the bible says, yes. That verse is pretty straight forward.
But if you want to get into semantics... then yes I"believe".

Marriage is a religious institution. The Bible in no case refers to a successful homosexual couple. If a couple is to be married, it should be between a man and a woman.

You say marriage is religious, yet you then chose its conditions based on just one religion - Christianity. Marriage pre-dates Christianity.

The bible mentions very little on homosexuality, though what it does mention is utterly warped and morally archaic.

Coming from a nonbeliever, that's not a valid argument against my own. Marriage does not pre-date Christianity, and since religion is, again, in a controversial topic, the best option is to agree to disagree.

The Bible has geological, biological, and astronomical evidence going for it, dating back to the very beginning. There are many copies from centuries ago that, unlike fictional stories, are surprisingly consistent. Nothing in there has been proven wrong, and many places referred to in it have been found. I stand with the Bible.

The bible is a source for nothing but remorseless bigotry and irrational beliefs. My point is valid, regardless of what I belief.

I want to stop this, I really like you and admire you Jade. I am also fully aware of how pleasant a human being you are. Nothing you believe would drive a wedge between that.

Please, I want you to have the last word if you wish.

Prove me wrong about my beliefs. I'm not one to blindly follow anything, as you should know by now. I question everything said to me. I haven't found any reason to not believe in the Bible.

I respect your intelligence, and I think you're a great person. I love debating, and this won't put anything between us. Granted, we disagree on religion, but that difference has existed for as long as I have known you. We just never talked about it.

Back on topic: Zain asked me in PM where marriage was mentioned in the Bible. This article sums up marriage and Christianity far better than I could.

We both love debating, maybe if we really fancy a good verbal melee, we can revisit this topic in the future.

I hate it when people compare the homosexual debate to a race situation. GAY PEOPLE AREN'T A RACE .

Because of my beliefs I don't agree with homosexuality, but I don't hate anyone who is homosexual either. Men are for women and women are for men. That is all.

In the bible it only says sodomy is a no go... No penetration, no problem

BLOW JOBS FOR EVERYONE!

Also, all the girls who don't take just take it in the baby maker, hell ahoy! If you're into the whole bible thing.

With some denominations, maybe. It's difficult to cover all the contrasting interpretations.
