about the marrige laws, the same sex marrige its dont shows that in the bible. whats wrong with that picture???

[mrveggieman]

You mean the bible speaking against same sex relations? If I could give my two cents on it yes it may be morrally wrong in the biblical sense but not everyone goes by the bible. People have been homosexual since day one and it isn't going anywhere. Hell if straight people can get married, divorced and have to pay alimony why can't gay people be subject to the same penalties?

The USA is great.

sure we have flaws, and argue among ourselves, but any FREE society will.

i am against same sex marriages, but not because being gay is evil or wrong. (and just to note, i have been married for nearly 20 years and it is my only marriage, and we have raised 3 kids together)

one thing is, i would not base a law on my own set of beliefs, and sexual preference is certainly a personal thing. i don't expect people to like peas because i do, nor pick pepsi over coke because i do. i don't expect people to watch the same shows on tv that i do, nor believe in the same god as i do.

personal preference is outside of what is right or wrong, it is when you try mixing them you end up with a mess.

raping, molesting, stealing, are all easy wrongs, no one should do it to no one for no reason (triple negative!!)

but two adults who decide to participate in activities that are not wrong, just unliked by some, should not be punished.

getting your face pierced, farting in public, or cross dressing isn't for me, but it isn't hurting anyone, so whatever, i find it dumb, strange, and freaky, but that's my personal opinion.

so being gay is a mental illness? is that in the bible? i can say, no it is not in the bible, and in some cases may be an illness, but not in all.

my wife and i have best friends who are gay, they have been together for over 10 years, and our great people, with good jobs, a nice house. both were married to men before and now choose to be with eachother.

not for me, but what they do behind closed doors is not my business, as long as they are not harming others.

that why god wipe out the whole world becase every thing was like that in the days of mosse and with the ten comments?????

i am guessing their is a language barrier here, but i think i understand what you are saying.

If you are refering to Moses' commandments from god, them i am guessing you are not christian, because jesus did some tweaking there.

did god flood the earth because of just sexuality? no, greed, murder, and ego would be way up on that list. do we not remember the tower of babel? no mention of a homosexual shooting that arrow, perhaps the story was about mans desire to be on gods level, mans ego overcoming him? but, perhaps not.

we do not, and i do not, base the laws of everyone from the bible. personally i try to be aware of the teaching of jesus, but i don't expect everyone else to, it would be nice, but it would take force, and jesus doesn't need to use much force, it only takes a slight movement from him to change things.

then we would have to determine the absolute definition of all things in the bible, much less figure out what is and isn't holy scripture. then we would have the huge issue of who is the real prophet, how many have already died trying to do this.

if you live by the bible you are a good person in my eyes, if you live strictly by the bible, you may be a better person than i, in my eyes.

if you try to get everyone to do the same, great, if you force them to? well, if god wanted that, god would simply do that. god could show up and change everything for everyone, but god will not, because god gave us free choice, even from the start with adam and eve, it all has been about our choices, not being forced to a choice.

but again, this is just my personal opinion, so it may be right to only me, and i am ok with that, and so is God.

about the marrige laws, the same sex marrige its dont shows that in the bible. whats wrong with that picture???

you think the country would go to hell if the United States started officially recognizing same sex marriage? Do you think it is just as bad that there are same sexed people coupling off even though our archaic laws keep that right away from them?

The bible should have nothing to do with what our laws should deem as allowable or not. Why would we make laws based on a single religion in a country where we have lots of different citizens that believe all sorts of different things and all have the right to do so?
