[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="Krelian-co"]

it's their religion, wrong or no it's not peoples say how should they change their beliefs to fit you. You call the always oh so awesome "bigotry" argument yet you do it. The irony

I think gays should be allowed to be married, but legal civil marriage where they share legal benefits and are recognized as a couple.

I've got nothing wrong with people sitting around believing in ponies that **** rainbows. However the second those believers group together in an attempt to make it so certain groups have less rights, I have a problem. I'm not against religious folk, i'm against religious folk who use their religion to insult others, or to limit the rights of others. You believe in god? Great that's your thing, However it really doesn't have anything to do with two people of the same sex loving each other and wanting the same rights as hetero couples. They literally have nothing in common, nor do the actions of two gays in their bedroom have anything to do with you. Why do religious folk have the right to bash gays, and discriminate constantly, Yet i dont have the right to call Religious folks out when they're being the bigots their holy books teach them to be?

im atheist FYI, but the post i answered to amde a clear distinction between accepting civil gay marriage and forcing catholics to accept gay catholic marriage.

i support gay CIVIL marriage, even if im straight im ok for rights that don't hurt anyone, but forcing to change their catholic marriage is just wrong.

I agree. Forcing the religion to do anything is wrong. As long as they are legally recognized marriages with no pressure on religion (legally) to recognize them, then there is no infringement on the freedom of religion.

For some reason Religious folk think they're are allowed to be bigots, because they think they're being told by an invisible dude in the sky that it's okay.

Marriages recognized legally, but not made to be recognized by religious institutions, is the best option. Civil unions are similar, but not the same as marriage.

No religious institution is required to recognize ANY marriage in the US as far as I am aware.

I have noting against gay people getting married. That's their choice. I'm not religious at all, but I really don't think they should be able to get married in a church though. It just seems... wrong.

Yeah I agree. This is in Sweden. Supposedly the most secular country in the world. They don't teach creationism at all though. Or anything really. In fact the marry gay people. Still shouldn't be funded by the state though. I'm against the state funding people's hobbies.

That's not quite as bad. I mean, what if someone's hobby was saving stray dogs from being put down? I just refuse to aide any society that has been known to discriminate and hate anyone who isn't a member. And in order to be a member you have to believe that science is a lie, gays are evil, and everyone who isn't a member is in need of "Saving"

Some opinions are less important then others. Especially ones that make no logical sense and are just due to bigotry.

They don't carry the same legal benefits.

then thats the first mistake, why religious marriage has more importance than civil marriage from a legal standpoint?

government must give the same benefits to everyone

The instituition of marriage in the US isn't regulated(for lack of a better word) by religious groups. Some people choose to just have a religous ceremony when they get married. They still have to get a marriage license from their state.

Why do you care? Really, why does anyone care about anyone but themselves if they aren't being affected in any physically detrimental way? As long as it's consensual, why the f*ck does it matter if it's called "marriage" or "union". Why is this such a big deal. Perhaps we should focus on the suffering economy and other issues that actually affect everyone. Let people marry whatever they want. Someone wants to marry a goat? Fine. Let them. Who the f*ck am I to deny them that right. And who are you to deny them that right? If it's consensual, makes someone happy, and results in equal treatment, why should anyone be denied that?

So we should also keep with the tradition of stoning adulterers and dismembering thieves so they're unable to use their hands. Seriously, how far back is too far back for "traditional" values. This kind of backward, oldschool way of thinking irks me. Great, so you feel same sex marriage is wrong. That's fine, but why should they be denied the right to be happy? Just because you "feel" it's wrong? Focus on yourself, and the relationships in your own life.

One thing that perplexes me is that conservatives don't seem to give a rat's ass about society until you mention gay marriage. They'll go on and on about how America was founded on traditional marriage and how important it is for us as a society (which is all BS), but if you point out that things like a small wealth gap and social programs are good for society they instantly switch gears to "individual liberty is the only thing that matters" and "keep yer socialist hands off my money!!!" kind of stuff.

Well, considering that it's been demonstrated across many different species, I would indeed consider that occurring naturally in the environment. There are plenty of "traditional" values that have been discarded, and I believe that the idea of marriage being a purely religious institution is one that also needs to be discarded. I know of very few people who are actually religious, and view marriage as a religious part of life. It's a bonding of two individuals, and should have absolutely nothing to do with the sexuality of those involved. For the same reason I believe your parents should not dictate who you marry, I also believe the government should not be able to tell you who you can and cannot marry. It's ridiculous.

Marriage really makes no difference to anything, it's a religious action, whuch doesn't apply to me as i'm an atheist. I want to have a union with a woman some day, but not as a christian or in a christian establishment. If they're going to cater specifically for the marriage needs of homosexuals, why not something for us non-believers that doesn't involve making statements in the name of a god I don't even believe in?

That's the thing, marriage today is more about financial security and ensuring that legal boundaries are set within the family. It's almost entirely NOT religious now, which is why the "tradition" of marriage being a religious institution argument doesn't hold sh*t. It's a symbolic event that emphasizes the love two people have for each other. The key point being TWO PEOPLE. If you're religious, and don't believe in homosexual marriage that's fine...but how...HOW THE F*CK does it affect you in ANY way other than using the word "marriage" to define it. It's completely ridiculous, and I honestly don't understand how this is still an issue that's relevant to our society today.

Its not so much the Government. Its the majority of the people in the world dont want to see gay marriage. The Government dont want to risk angry mobs of extremists .

Marriage really makes no difference to anything, it's a religious action, whuch doesn't apply to me as i'm an atheist. I want to have a union with a woman some day, but not as a christian or in a christian establishment. If they're going to cater specifically for the marriage needs of homosexuals, why not something for us non-believers that doesn't involve making statements in the name of a god I don't even believe in?

Christianity is not a religion. You have them confused with Catholics. Catholics can be Christians but Christianity has no rituals which is what religion is

[QUOTE="cee1gee"][QUOTE="chrisrooR"][QUOTE="cee1gee"] Im not just talking about America, im talking worldwide since beginning of times it was men and women, and it shouldnt change. Its just not natural

Well, considering that it's been demonstrated across many different species, I would indeed consider that occurring naturally in the environment. There are plenty of "traditional" values that have been discarded, and I believe that the idea of marriage being a purely religious institution is one that also needs to be discarded. I know of very few people who are actually religious, and view marriage as a religious part of life. It's a bonding of two individuals, and should have absolutely nothing to do with the sexuality of those involved. For the same reason I believe your parents should not dictate who you marry, I also believe the government should not be able to tell you who you can and cannot marry. It's ridiculous.

Its not so much the Government. Its the majority of the people in the world dont want to see gay marriage. The Government dont want to risk angry mobs of extremists .

What? I'm talking about the United States, not the "World". And having a religious reason for not allowing two men to marry is an utter sh*t argument. You do realize that not everyone adheres to YOUR belief system? You do realize there is, or should be, a clear separation of church and state? Perhaps we should adhere to the "tradition" of fratricide and incest, as it was extremely common in ancient egypt. Hey, it's part of my religious belief system, THEREFUR EVERY1 SHOULD FOLLOW EET!

like i stated before, the majority of the world is religious, and majority usually wins, so until the majority of the world is gay or believes in gay marriage but isnt gay then itll be legal everywhere, until then keep fighting for the right
