Take note that I said it could or is likely, not that it will.

As you were the one making the first claim, show your sources. :cya:

I also said that it would probably lead to acceptance and tolerance of the act, not participation. A child who grows up with gay parents will more then likely tolerate such a relationship much more then a child who grew up with a heterosexual parent.

I posted the same in this thread. ;)

In all truth, what is normal, when the world is so diverse. Perhaps you , and others, are confusing traditional, with normality.

Next time I'll simply post "straight people". That was just to get a connection to the people who talk about "normal" and "abnormal".

Perhaps you missed my statement where I said I was for homosexual marriage, my reasoning just isn’t as popular or common as others.

I wasn't responding to you, therefore the brake. ;)

Notice, WhiteShark, that I said may. Do you have any definitive evidence that it is not the case?

In the same way, having gay parents may lessen the chance of becoming gay. May this, may that. :lol:
Do you have any definitive evidence against my claim?

Oh, and if it is a religious practice, I feel urged to invoke my birth-right freedom of religion, which allows me to practice my particular branch of mythology any way I want, no matter what your Holy Bible tells you.

Ok, but you have no right to be treat special by the government because of a religous ceremony. That is why I'm saying the government shouldn't give out ANY special rights AT ALL to ANYONE who get's married. The government should step back and let the church handle it.

As an atheist, I have zero clue, but I'll get some scholar of history to tell me how my ancestors felt when the Christians hijacked their solstice celebration on December the 25th. Or for that matter, how angry the homosexuals were when some bigotted Christian decided it was suddenly for straight people only.

Gee I didn't know the name Christmas was a pagan name. I didn't know the pagans worshiped CHRIST

He's half right. They simply placed Christ's birthday on the same week as Winter Solstice celebrations. That way new believers wouldn't be temped to go to pagan orgies, as they would be too busy with Christian celebrations.

I know that, but my point was not about the day it happend, but the name itself. Alot of people would be very angry if someone created a second holiday with the name Christmas.

I don't think that makes her a lesbian, nor is it really negative.

You can't help your hair colour, nor your sexual preference.

That is one of the worst comparisions I have herd of. You can change your hair color very easily. You can hide the true color of you hair. You can change anything on your body or your mind.

Why do gays go about their movement for "equality" like they do? Comming out and making a bunch of noise is not the way to get your group accepted into society.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?

I think the ancient Romans and Greeks were a lot more relaxed and open about homosexuality and things like that, so I think it would be more 'normal' for ancient people to live close to, work with, or do stuff with a homosexual. I dont think they would have minded that the Church sort of denounced homosexuals. I don't think the homosexuals would have been too happy, though.

If the civil rights movement didn't "make a bunch of noise", would they be accepted in society today? Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat, which made a bunch of noise. Martin Luther King Jr. made a speech in Washington D.C. with tons of supporters and that made a bunch of noise. A bunch of non-violent noise is necessary in order for a movement to make progress. Sitting on your hands and not speaking up does nothing...

Maybe there'd be the Gay-Burnings from the Inquisition or something.
