People know that marriage was around before Christianity or Judaism was around right...why do people assume that Christian's somehow "own" marriage. It was never there's to begin with.

And last time I checked, you need a marriage license to get licensed. You don't need a priest to get married. Hell, a ship captain can marry you.

Its the same with christmas, before it was known as xmas it was the winter solstice a celebration to raise spirits before the dark winter ahead.

So, kind of like letting black people go to colleges where only black people go, and just calling it something else?  I mean they are still going to college right, so what is the difference?  Those black people don't care, and what they want isn't what is important.  It is how we feel about them going to college and what we want to call it that matters, right?

Just like how the Bible authorizes slavery too, right?



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

have you read this at all? Theres civil unions and that was banned as well.

Also the word "marriage" is required for things like insurance and various other things.  Thats why the word marriage is needed.

We can just let gay people ride in separate buses too. And let them go to different schools. Hell, we should make them wear little stars too.

is it hurting them any way to not use that name if they are given full legal right just like another married couple?

no its not

however my faith is losing another part of what it has fought to hold onto

so lets recap

you lose nothing by not getting the name

but my faith loses something by having the name taken away

how is that fair?

ohh wait its not

We all know how well "separate but equal" works.

Honestly, I don't care what they call it at this point. "Male buggery anti-Christian union not endorsed by the church" works for me at this point. Above all, these people need some legal protection just like the rest of us. Titles and whatnot can be dealt with down the road.

 




Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/

no other religions have the practice, but heres the catch the homosexual community inst really fighting for marriage rights from other religions they are targeting the christian faiths in this nation and many of them want teh state to side with them so they can have a regular church wedding
