What, you mean like gravity? cause I believe in gravity too. Dont you?

And I dont really think homosexuality is a culture. Its more a preference.

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

Good point. Homosexuality has always existed as far as we know - but before now it wasn't a culture - more of a hobby or a preference.

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

I don't think sexual orientation qualifies as a "hobby", and preference implies that there's a deliberate choice, while in this case the choice is pretty much made ahead of time.

I laguhed when I saw the thread title.

Anyway, I think if someone wants to merry the same sex, they should live on an island in the middle of no where.

Well I don't know... I really don't care actually.

Then what was the point of posting? To say that you're apathetic and uninformed?

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

No. I thought I cared when I saw the thread title.

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

I thought I cared too....

Well, now that we've ascertained that you don't why don't you move along?

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

Because the discussion about gay rights and the existence of god is somehow very compelling.

and preference does not mean that you have to have had a choice in it, it is just an option you like better than other options, no matter the reason for that liking, it does not have to be conscious.

Don't they know they're damned?
Don't they know they're sinners?
Don't they know that they don't deserve to be married?

Stupid homosexuals with their cries for equality, don't they know this is a religious nation. Indeed, it’s unnerving to realize: we are being ruled by a collection of totalitarian, frat rats endowed with the introspective capacities of rampaging fire ants.

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

well, obviously, if they're still crying out for equality, then they don't know that they're damned, or that they're sinners. And isnt everyone born equal in the eyes of God? So since we have decided that homosexuality is determined before birth, then any sins that take place because of said homosexuality have by default ben absoluted, because it is not a choice of the 'sinner', and was determined before birth
