Lol I do enjoy people with insecurities about their religion who need to force it on everyone else.
United states is supposed to free with separation of church and state
Equal rights etc
If your church doesn’t support gay marriage cool
The actual legal reasons for marriage should be granted to whoever wants to get married same sex or whatever
I assume things were the same with rights for black people and women’s rights when the laws changed
God does love everyone equally. That doesnt mean go do what you want.
In my house I have rules. I will love my kids equally but if one of them does not follow my rules, then they will be grounded.
Love the sinner, hate the sin
Has it been that long since the last religion debate on this forum? How did we start talking about evolution?
The only real problem that I have with some religious people is their typical superiority complex and ability to draw 90% of their confidence on the matter from 1 or 2 examples. Where as science is proven through millions upon millions of observations.
Great quote from a English comic:
“Science alters it’s views based on what’s OBSERVED. Faith is the DENIAL OF OBSERVATION so that it’s belief can be preserved.”
We didn’t evolve from the same monkeys that are around today. It’s not that we evolved and they didn’t.

The whole world isn’t in your house homeboy.
lol… right, we didnt evolve from monkeys and its not proven… ok. Is it proven that God created everything, is it proven that everyone originally came from Adam and eve… is it true a snake talked to people (that sounds fucking retarded to me) Is it true that if you do one thing wrong with that religion, that god or jesus will send you to a firey death where you will burn and suffer for all eternity… but yet… He loves you. Sounds a bit fucked to me. Has all of this been proven?
edit: Its been proven that the sun comes up every morning, that it goes down and becomes night every night as well. Its been proven it rains… I can believe in those things happening. How can I believe in something I cant see, how can I trust that some nut case on some heavy drugs saw an image while tripping and decided to right a story about it… and thats when someone found it and started passing the word like every other religion. Who is to say its not something like the Sun god thats been passed from generation to generation. When the sun goes pop/bang… and we are no more… was that gods doing… Or like every other star/sun out there… they are time limited and will only last so long (which has been proven)
Bummer to hear this news. However this thread is a gem.
Also +1 to keeping the govt. out of social issues such as this!
Oh and after like 2sec of searching I realized there are sooooooooooooooooo many good memes for this thread. I shall start. lol
Catholic church might try and stay out of gay marriage till they can get a handle on priests and little boys.
One would imagine you should fix that before condemning outsiders
I’ve seen too many good people taken too early. Why does God hate them? Why does he love the “bad” people and let them live instead? If God is real, he’s been a real A-hole to me for a long time. So I decided to treat him like that family member at the reunions you just don’t like. I ignore him and he ignores me, seems to be working out a lot better.
There are a lot of religious views I wish were true today, like dinosaurs and man roaming around together. Man that would be a lot of fun…
Never said what the Catholic church did was a good thing.
If your against the people standing on the corners preaching, then you should be against the gay pride parade too. Same theory.
I do not agree with the people who hold signs saying God hates you your going to hell etc. Thats a dumb way to do things
Like I said before I cant change you and you cant change me.
It seems like there are more people against religion and God and im not about to go up against everyone.
Agree to disagree, on that note im out.
I think the issue is you feel religion is never wrong…
Look back in history and see how many people were killed over religion.
Pretty sure thou shall not kill was a core belief
Look at all the sexual abuse and cover ups by thr church
I am also confused there was a time where religious people owned slaves lol
On the orginal topic it shouldn’t have anything to do with religion it’s US law…
.
Just my belief- Has nothing to do with God, but instead our soul. God does not hate. It has nothing to do with him. We were put on this earth so that our soul can grow and learn life’s lessons. Once we have achieved that goal, our soul is complete for that life-time. I’m not saying by any means that the “good” people are supposed to go, but everyone has a purpose in life. Some just have shorter time-spans than others. I’ve had family members taken from us tragically and from our views, waaaayyy to early, but their soul completed their “mission” and was therefor released from the physical world.
Agnostic, athiest, or religious… everyone has their own opinions and should be entitled to them, not flamed for them…
back on the original topic… the government should NOT be able to tell you who you can and can not marry (within the same species). As someone said earlier- everything happens over time. Some just take longer to adapt and accept a different way of thinking than others…
Isn’t that kinda the plot to Lost? I found that a lot more interesting week in and week out than church ever was.
As much of an atheist as I am, I disagree with this.
I would love to have the same faith and belief in a higher being as catholics. I just can’t buy it, I tried.
no clue… never got into it…
if you want an interesting read, go to Wikipedia for “Soul”
Agree. I dont care what 2 dudes or 2 women want to do with their own lives. Go nuts.
OK… I’ll bite… be back in a bit with the findings…
I’ll save you the trouble:
Completely off topic, but I just can’t believe this… What scientists are those? The earth’s distance from the sun changes constantly, everyday. There’s over a 3 million mile variance in the distance from the sun every six months.
