Last post I will respond to in here, because this is a waste of time. You guys are arguing with me, when you ought to take it up with GOD.
First though, Human Cockroach you said that you have faith in God but apparently it's not the one who said that homosexuality is a sin.
So basically you've invented a sort of candy cane god who is there to answer all your needs and agree with your left wing politics?
That's not GOD. That's...you. That's you worshiping yourself, and your own opinions.
The one true GOD has spoken loud and clear on homosexuality. He said it's sin. So don't argue with me, go tell the King of the Universe that he's intolerant.
Of course, He'll tell you that he is intolerant of sin...completely intolerant of it. He hates it.
That's not my opinion, it's HIS.
Futurite, I will answer that first part of your post because it's factually incorrect.
Homosexuals already have the same rights as I or you do. ALL of the same rights. Who is telling them that they cannot get married? I wish they would get married. I wish all self proclaimed homosexuals would give up that perverted lifestyle, go find a member of the opposite sex, and marry them.
They have the same right to marry as everyone in this country does, what they WANT is to change the meaning of marriage, redefine it to mean something else.
They are like a person who has found a rotting-out, old boat on a beach.
He really likes the boat a lot, so much, that he wants to be in it as much as possible. So much in fact, that he wants to drive it around on the streets like an automobile.
After all he says, "I really love the boat, and boats are a form of transportation, just like automobiles, so why shouldn't I be allowed to drive it on the streets?"
So he slapped some non-working wheels on the boat (to make it look the part), and went to the courthouse to demand a motor vehicle license. When the first judge informed him that a boat is not the same as an automobile, no matter how much he loved the boat, he became angry, and formed a small (but growing) club of other boat owners who wanted to drive them on the streets.
Soon they became well organized, and learned to manipulate the mainstream media, and the government bureaucracy so well that, they got the media to proclaim their cause was just, and anyone who disagreed was a BOATHATER; and they elected judges sympathetic to their cause, who worked diligently to twist, bend and outright change existing law, until, eventually they were able to subvert the law, while the media was able to convince most people that driving boats was a moral good.
The inevitable traffic jams that soon followed were blamed on BOATHATERS who the media said, were just too unenlightened to understand, and were clinging to their old morality, which was clearly based on BOATAPHOBIA.
