Same-sex couples begin marrying

Let me break it down for ya Marriage is a Biblical institution no matter what kind of semantics you engage in, Homosexuality is an abomination before God, the Creator, hence the two do not go together.

Thats fine. Then remove every government benefit from marriage an I'll have no problem with it being strictly a religious institution.
 
Cool take away the Government fee for the license.

Ok. I have said numerous times that I think the gov't should not be involved in it at all.

But at the same time you don't have a licence fee, you don't get the tax breaks, you don't get to make decisions for your spouse when they are unable, you don't get automatic rights of inheritance, there is no guarantee a child adopted by your spouse will stay with you if your spouse dies, you may or may not be able to make decisions concerning your spouse's funeral arrangements and resting place, ect ect ect.
 
No, what I do is require that there be no laws based solely one religious dogma, as the US Constitution requires.

Its a little late for that.....the Country and its Constitution was the creation of people that fled to this land to live by their own personal moral values and tolerance of the religious values that
that their mothers and fathers instilled in them over generations....it IS who they were, moral and religious values we still have to this day.....

The Constitution requires that ALL faiths are allowed here, not that all faiths are not allowed.............

That is why I said "No, what I do is require that there be no laws based solely one religious dogma, as the US Constitution requires.

I require that the laws of this nation do not advocate any one religion over others.

And giving 1,400 benefits to an institution that is (so he claims) strictly a Biblical institution is unconstitutional.
 
Adam and Eve being the first people on Earth, were the first marriage

WTF? Nope, not a chance.

Egyptians who'd also practiced a form of marriage similar to today's version, we're talking 2055 B.C.E. in the 1st Intermediate Period all through the 2nd and into the 3rd (somewhere around 1300 - 1800 B.C.E.) Intermediate Period which even included marriage contracts.

Moses' exodus from Egypt was 1325 B.C.E., basically there's no such thing as Adam and Eve - you can't prove it any more than you could prove Jesus came back from the dead.

And that's without getting into the Confucius era of China, who was alive and kicking five hundred years before the mythical birth of Christ, with a written history of their version of marriage as well, again - that also predates the Bible, thus reducing your post to smithereens.
 
Some Native American tribes have had legal homosexual marriage for centuries. It's been happening here longer than Christianity has been known here. However, regardless of that, your religion has no place in the law that affects my life, unless i choose to follow your religion. It may be that I read the same Bible and find different meaning in it..

I posted one time something similar to this and was shouted down.
I had seen an article that stated that some tribes believed that a person who felt they were trapped between the world of man and that of women, was considered to be sacred, and any one who took such a person as a partner, was honored.

I want religious freedom, marriage was instituted by God. I don't want one religion, but i do not see people out protesting the muslims views of kill anyone who doesn't believe as they do.

I call bullshit...where's your peer reviewed scholarly evidence that proves beyond a shadow doubt that God instituted the concept of marriage?

It ain't the bible, we've already covered that marriage existed long before the bible was ever written.

I don't want one religion, but i do not see people out protesting the muslims views of kill anyone who doesn't believe as they do.

Muslims? It's not all Muslims you fuck'n gullible retarded bitch...Islam, like Christianity has different denominations (sects), each with their own levels of ferver and devoutness (reform, orthodox, fundamentalists, et cetera). Which has absolutely fuck all to do with same sex marriage other than that religion being just as oppressive as Christianity is overall.

You gotta find a better medium for your homophobic talking points, "but Muslims" is NOT a factor.

Orthodox Christians were banging sledge hammers into the skulls of Muslim kids in both Croatia and Bosnia not all that long ago - just as Islam has it's own fucked sects that'll condem preteen rape victims to death by stoning or shoot little girls in the head because that same little girl wanted an education.

Religion is fuck'n stupid for a number of reasons, let's try and keep it out of the discussion of same sex marriage as it's not even remotely relevant.

Thanks.

Then you aren't paying attention. I don't know of any non-muslim who agrees that they should be able to kill those who don't believe as they do. If you are going to make up "facts", at least try and come up with something believeable.

Call whatever you want, but leave the childish insults out of it, as it is an indication of your lack of education. Now, since the Bible is a Historical account of the origins of the Heavens, and the Earth, and creation as a whole, you are wrong. Yes marriage did exist before the Bible, but the Bible is a historically accurate text of how things including marriage came about.

Muslims are for the most part barbarians, Christians for the most part are not. I do not see Christians stoning people, shooting little girls in the head, killing them for being raped, or making them cover their entire bodies, or calling for the destruction of anyone who does not subscribe to Christian beliefs.

Muslims are harsh against the unbelievers, merciful to one another. - 48:25

KORAN promises of houris in heaven:

Single-minded slaves of Allah... will be honored in the Gardens of delight, on couches facing one another; A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them, white, delicious to the drinkers, wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby. And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes, pure as they were hidden eggs. - Surah 37:40-49

Lo, for those who ward off evil is a happy journey's end, Gardens of Eden, whereof the gates are opened for the, wherein, reclining, they call for plenteous fruit and cool drink therein.

Lo! Those who kept their duty will be in a place secure, amid gardens and water-springs, attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another....

And He hath saved them from the doom of hell, a bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph. - 44:51-57
