| fillet said: Marriage is a Christian ceremony that the bible explicitly states is for two people of the opposite sex to participate in. The bible explicitly forbids homosexuality so therefore same sex marriage is ridiculous and wrong. I have no problem with same sex relationships and a civil ceremony of course I have no problem against either. I also have no problem with people in same sex relationships participating in a civil ceremony benefiting from state benefits that people who are married enjoy. People who don't believe in god also should not be allowed to get married, by adding that into law and creating a recognized civil partnership for those people that gives the same benefits as married people then everything is balanced out. I challenge anyone to explain to me why this simple explanation is wrong, it is not prejudiced, it is simply against the teaching of said religion. |
This applies to most countries.
Marriage is handled by the state. People of all religions and even people without religion can marry (according to you, people without religion can't marry, asi it's a "Christian ceremony").
As marriage is handled by the state, it's a state issue and even a right. The state shouldn't deny rights to anyone.
It is funny though, that people that use the same (very dumb) argument you used, would never deny an heterosexual atheist the right to marry.
