You are so incredibly ignorant with your pathetic argument that says we believe what we believe because the “bible says so”. We believe what we believe because of the moral direction of the country, and the structure of the life of average citizens which is the backbone of the nation.

The moral direction of this country? The only reason it SEEMS worse is because it's more publicized. To be honest, this country is getting morally BETTER. People are more accepting, depending less on religion, not being so

We live in a democracy I thought? The people decide what happens, and the people decided that THEY DON”T WANT THIS CRAP. And you sit there in shock and awe because you believe that most people support gay marriage. Again, your ridiculous “I’m rebellious because I’m anit-religion” attitude is out spoken. The vote didn’t go your way so you start blaming a certain group of people, which you make clear with this post; and that is discrimination, the same discrimination you think you righteously fighting against. So get the hell over the fact that you believe our opinion is invalid because of what we believe and because of the moral direction we want for the country.

No, we DO NOT live in a democracy. America IS NOT a democracy. Athens was. We live in a republic. Because the general people don't have the knowledge to make up every law.

Marriage came from religion and it IS religious, no matter how badly you don’t want that to be true. And the “atheists get married” argument is invalid because marriage is about a man and a woman developing a family. So no, actually you are the one who is wrong.

So, are you against infertiles being married?

So she’s typing on her computer in Canada, how is she in the jurisdiction of the United States? Here’s the answer: she isn’t. So your wrong again.

So Canadians don't have a valid opinion?

ou keep on bitching about the Christians being too powerful. The congress is controlled by dems, most of them liberal, and they go against Christian teachings. Christians are powerful because of their population, and if they control that majority of the country, shouldn’t the laws somewhat agree with their beliefs? Does that make too much sense for you?
|
I doubt there are more than 5 members of Congress that aren't religious.
Quote:
Why? Because our country is a democracy and it bothers you when the majority of our country doesn’t agree with you? You are just foolish. You are the type that would rather live in a dictatorship operated by your political spectrum. You have no respect for common people and their opinions, you don’t get your way so you bitch and accuse to majority of the voters of being blind and uninformed. In reality you are the one who is uninformed and out of touch with the reality of our country.

Look above, we don't live in a democracy.

You are confusing us not wanting gay to be married with us forcing a group of people to become Christian. The rights can be obtained by a civil union so therefore no one is being denied rights, the only thing that is happening is that Christians are trying to save the image and meaning of marriage, something that came from them.
|
No, a civil union doesn't have all of the same rights. And the meaning of marriage? What the hell? The meaning

And they CAN OBTAIN THOSE RIGHTS THROUGH CIVIL UNION. So they are being denied shit, except the ability to ruin the image of something created by religion.

If the entire middle east elected the Taliban to run their country and supported their view points then yeah, it would be the same. But that’s not true, meaning your ridiculous comparison is a poor one.
|
NO, THEY CAN'T OBTAIN THOSE RIGHTS THROUGH CIVIL UNION!

That is ridiculous. Since they can obtain benefits from a civil union, there is nothing you can show that proves gays are treated as second class citizens.
|
No, see above...

No wonder you don’t know shit about marriage. Maybe you should do some research on marriage in society amongst the actual majority of the citizens in the middle ages if you don’t believe it is religious; instead of watching too many god damn movies like Braveheart or something where they marry for land, and then taking incidents like that as your accepted view of what marriage was in those times .The bolded point is by far the most ignorant thing you have said. Parents don’t have to sit back and accept a god damn thing. Their tax dollars pay for the schools, so if they disagree with something then the last thing that they HAVE to do it accept it. We control the government, the government does not control us.
And as I said, there are 159 million Christians. If 159 million people don’t want their kids learning this crap in school then they should not be forced to pay for a private school just to save their child’s mind from the numerous amounts of liberal bullshit in our schools.

What crap? It's pretty much a fact that they don't choose to be gay. It should be allowed to be in schools. It's utter bullshit any other way!
