GAY MARRIAGE WOULD DESTROY CIVILIZATION

Marvin, I think God has a lot of people beheading other people to get around to before he nukes the human race over gay marraige.

I agree that most people aren't in favor of it, and I agree that we should have the right to decide as a population and not have it mandated by activist judges. I don't think, however, you are gonna change anyone's mind by saying the world will end.

If your readers believe God struck down Sodom because of homosexuals, they wouldn't be gay, or support homosexual issues, would they? And if they don't believe that, why would they believe you about civilization coming to an end?

I think you are preaching to the choir. If you want to change people's minds, you need to work from something that they haven't already disavowed themselves from.

Your blinkered article attempts to build something incredibly major (the end of civilisation) from something incredibly minor (what an individual wishes to do with his penis).

We are all humans, and we are all capable of loving - it's just that about half of us have slightly different anatomies. Whether the person you truly find love for is of the same sex or of a different sex seems irrelevant.

God is capable of loving us all, no matter how we choose to live our lives. To me, God would be less worried about two men in a happy, loving relationship than a man who regular beats his wife or children.

Your problem is you place human values upon God, but anything God feels or does is beyond human understanding.

I'm sorry, but I don't think religion needs to be brought into the same sex marriage issue at all. Marriage is first and foremost a legal contract between two people, and the religious aspect of it is something totally separate. No one who advocates same sex marriage, at least no one that I know, is trying to force any church or denomination to accept it or to perform the ceremonies. Most same sex couples are perfectly happy to have a civil ceremony that grants them the legal rights of any other married couple, and they are not looking for the blessing of any church or religion. Churches could continue to take a stand against it, just as they do with abortion, and would not have to compromise their beliefs in any way, shape, or form.

And, if 67% of the people are opposed to same sex marriages, then how would allowing it destroy civilization? That 67% could continue to marry the opposite sex, procreate, and live their lives in the same manner they do now. It's not as if allowing this would DISALLOW anything else......

The apostle Peter wrote that God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him. Lot was a very righteous man but today he would be labeled as homophobic. Such mislabeling is another tactic to turn the tables on opponents of same-sex marriage and homosexuality. Evil people call good evil and evil good.

Interesting that people still believe Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for homosexuality when Ezekial 16:49 says it was for "pride and excess of food while the poor and needy suffered outside her door". WHO has a problem with the inerrancy of scripture? sounds like both sides of the coin get the biscuit on this one.

As I get ready to vote today in the Canadian federal election, I have come to the following conclusions: Gay marriage isn't going to ruin civilization, divorce lawyers have already done that. The last poll I saw was 53% in in favour of gay marriage, 47% against. So it's a divisive issue, and enough people are against it that we should respect their wishes too. This should be a matter for a free vote in parliament, not the Supreme Court.

Personally, I've had enough of special interest groups getting everything that they ask for at the expense of society overall. So I've decided I'll support gay marriage when gays support me. Giving me back my right to free speech and repealing the Orwellian gay 'hate crimes' law would be a good start. On the whole I really can't see a good argument against letting gays marry, but that's for them to fight for, not me.

Now our friend MARVIN CAPSLOCK has alleged here at JoeU that there is a gay conspiracy. I don't like the word conspiracy, but I do know that the ruling Liberal Party of Canada is queer as a french horn. Speaker of the House - gay. Foreign Affair minister - used to have 15 year old boyfriend, court documents reveal. Minister of International Trade: gay. PM Martin has recruited gays across the country as star candidates and promised them cabinet jobs. Why? It looks to me like the Liberals are The Gay Party, like being gay will get you a cabinet job. I don't want my country to become The Gay Country.

I do think that the Liberal Party will lose a lot of votes this election on the gay marriage issue. This is a Catholic country, and the recent immigrants are probably more opposed to gay marriage than Canadians as a whole.

People will be gay even if you don't allow them to be married.

In the country of religious freedom, marriage is pretty much an outdated term.  Are civil ceremony marriages as bad as gay marriage?  Why don't we just end "marriage" and turn it into "legal union".  No matter who does it, everyone lives by the same laws.

Exactly....as I said, too many people are confusing the religious ceremony with the legal contract. In several European countries, the two are entirely separate. A couple must be married in a civil ceremony, and then a religious ceremony is entirely optional...but the religious ceremony can't be held INSTEAD....

I SAY KILL ALL THE FAGOTS!!!

just kidding of course.

I'd say it surprises me that your kind still exists, but it doesn't shock me anymore. Honestly Marvin, it just angers me. And although I completely agree that America is asleep at wheel when it comes to politics, both domestic and international, your comments lead me to believe that you haven't bothered to learn the whole story either, perhaps you just dismiss it as consipiracy theories or 'propaganda'. But it's not that fancy or complicated, it's quite simple actually. The handful of filthy rich people that rule this planet are playing this world like a video game trying rack up as much cash and power as they can score. But this is not a video game, this is humanity and it's fragile. So unless you, and people who think like you, want to help this very very small percentage of the population rape the world into human oblivian I suggest you stop listening to the media and research this stuff yourself. If you really do it you'll be shocked and apalled. If you're not mad then you have not heart and I'll stop wasting my time.

 

Thank you Marvin! Senators will vote Wednesday, 7/14/04, on the Federal Marriage Ammendment. I am a lifelong Democrat but I support the ammendment to define marriage as the union of a man and woman. I wonder if there will be at least one Democrat with the courage to buck the gay rights platform of the party and vote for
the ammendment. I pray for such a courageous vote. Senators have taken an oath under God to protect the constitution of the United States. Our constitutional framers
accepted marriage as a gift from God between a man and a woman. If Senators do not protect the sanctity of marriage, why should God protect our country against
terrorists? If you pray for God's protection then do his will--and support the sacredness of marriage--God's holy institution.

This conservative point of view is very narrow minded.
