Well, IIRC the Bible says "Hate the sin, love the sinner".

How about this? Pastor goes to a gay bakery and asks them to bake a cake with a Christian message, and he gets charged with a crime. This is the crap I'm talking about, not the normal every day things gays do that doesn't bother anyone. Turn about fair play? Not in this country.

HY*NDAI is to cars, what Caracal, Hi-Point, and Jennings is to handguns. The cars may or may not run ok, but the corporation SUCKS.
It's kinda like us old white guys are the only demographic left that can be shat upon without consequences in this country.
Ah well, I try not to get worked up about all the craziness going on these days - life is too short.

I have no problem with what two consenting adults do behind closed doors. Just don't call it a marriage and cheapen what my wife and I share. By definition a marriage is the union of a man and a woman for life. If the gays wanted equal rights they could opt for a civil union. By definition a marriage is the union of a man and a woman. Change the definition of marriage and marriage no longer exists. If love conquers all then a widowed man should be allowed to marry his daughter if they both love each other. Two men and one woman should be allowed to wed. One man and six women should be allowed to wed. It's a very slippery slope. Marriage is the glue that's supposed to bind families together for the benefit of a society. It not a thing to be trifled with. Every great empire has fallen with the fall of morality. Rights should not be based on sexual preference. If homosexuality isn't a preference then we should be seeking a cure for it.

A fairly short read that backs up Muggsy's assertions about moral decline contributing to the fall of empires.

I think that morality is the glue that binds a family and a society together, not marriage specifically. I also think that sexual preference shouldn't have anything to do with the rights granted or given. We're all just people, made of star stuff. I also think that your sexual preference should not get you anything that someone with a different preference does or doesn't get. Discrimination is wrong in any form it takes, as is racism, religious persecution, etc. If you choose to believe in the Bible, or any other religious texts, please make sure to remember that those are now YOUR beliefs. I understand that most, if not all religions make it their duty to convert or witness to as many people as possible. That's all well and good, but some of us just don't want to be brainwashed any more than modern society and indoctrination has already done. I keep an open mind, and do not judge anyone based on their religion, sexual preference, skin color, or any other criteria. I judge people based on if they're an arsehole or not. I don't like arseholes, especially drunk arseholes.
I judge everyone by all those things, they are or can be the ingredients that create an arsehole and I too hate arseholes, except when I'm drunk and probably are one myself. But I don't drink much, wake up enough feeling poorly due to natural causes, don't need to help it with the devils kool aid.
