| happydolphin said: To me a lot of this seems like opportunism. An opportunity to bash the christian view. It's one thing to disagree, another to step on people's rights and freedom to believe in their own morals. I'm starting to hate this democracy. But before I get really irritated, can someone bring up the facts I've read through the article and all I've found are claims but no quotes... |
Show me where Christ condemned same-sex marriage or any aspect of homosexuality. Show me where he ever said anything that contradicted "treat thy neighbor as you would treat thyself". Stop calling the opposition to same-sex marriage Christian, it is inherently anti-Christian. Here are a couple fun facts about marriage. It's not a Christian institution, it's not even a religious one (so why is it that a group of Christians get to define it?). Traditional marriage didn't allow interracial marriage, was that really worth defending? Traditionally marriage treated the woman as property and wedlock was merely the exchange of goods to ensure exclusive sexual access to the newly acquired property. Are we not supposed to advance as a society?
Edit: Opposition to same-sex marriage has no moral basis in the teachings of Christ. If you believe that there is then you are sorely misinformed. By the looks of things a lot of people should read this:
