Okay, so they're trying to impose themselves on marriage and make themselves part of it, even though the Bible defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman (not 2 men or 2 women).





I didn't define "marriage"... the Bible did. It also defined homosexuality as an abomination (I believe this implies that marriage, as defined by the Bible, should not have homosexuality as a part of it.





I do not know why men dressing in women's clothing (or vice versa) is an abomination, just that the Bible says that it is. How's about just admitting it is you that is "cherry picking?"

Cite, please.

A number of marriages in the Bible were between one man and multiple women, were they not?

Tsurmon

Oh...the bible defined marriage...

Huh, guess nonchristian cultures don't get married then.

As was pointed out, The Bible is not the law of the US. We have people that get married that are of other religious faiths and other cultures that have different marriage traditions.

Not everyone is a Christian and US law should not be based on a single's religion's definition of anything

The whole topic of this thread is silly Biblical laws so I picked out some silly ones.

Cherry picking refers to picking and choosing which laws one follows or ignores though they claim to adhere to a set of laws as a whole.

I would be cherry picking, for example, if I called myself a "completely law abiding citizen" but chose to ignore traffic laws.

Since male homosexuals statistically have higher incomes than male heterosexuals, male heterosexuals are already getting a free lunch through male homosexuals. Plus there's the fact that in a male homosexual household, both partners are more likely to be working and paying taxes. So you should consider it a boon rather than a detriment.

Funny inquisitive. The question was about choosing laws. You say homosexuality is an abomination. Do you eat pork? Do you stone to death a person who touched a menstrating women? Do you kill a slandering son?Hypocrite. :down:

Fine. More power to them as they attempt explaining this confusion to their children, should they ever (somehow) become parents (i.e., through adoption, a woman having a baby for them, or whatever). :bulb:

Cweb, why do you seem to care so much? :huh:

Chris Weimer

Because of the basic premise of equality under the law. That's why. I knew of homosexuality growing up. It didn't kill me. Explaining to do? That's your (collective you) for not tolerating others. It's pure and simple bigotry. That's why.

This "confusion" is cultural. You could apply the same logic to interracial marriages in the American South (the few there were) during Jim Crow. many countries now have gay marriages. I ask you for data (hopefully longitudinal studies) showing the the ill effects of same sex parents. Many gay men I know are/will make far better fathers then me.

What confusion? "You have two parents that love each other and love you and they are the same gender"...wow I am somehow not confused by that. Alot more confusing explaining divorce, remarriage, step siblings, half siblings, etc, IMO.
