Civil Rights Up for Vote

[Freed Roger]

Apparently the Mormons are one of many churchs that supported it,as they have a right to no matter how retarded they are.

I guess they want it clear. That marriage can only be between a Man and Women*

*and their 13 year old step-half sisters

There's no good rational grounds for me to reject what God's Word says. Sorry.

God loves gay people.

Yeah. We all know that.

We need to tone it down on the religion bashing.

There's no good rational grounds for me to reject what God's Word says. Sorry.

Far more than there is any rational ground to believe that there is, in fact, a God to begin with, unless the whole concept of faith has suddenly gone out the window.

[BW23]

I'm saying I've yet to see any "rational ground" for me to re-think my faith.

[The Third Man]

Fair enough.

If I was alive 40 or 50 years ago and my girlfriend and I attempted to be together in the public eye, it wouldn't have gone over so well. No matter the religious argument -- and don't get me wrong because I consider myself a believer -- I absolutely find no reason why two people who love each other dearly shouldn't be allowed to be together.

You can't find interracial relationships being damned in the Bible, but you sure did hear many a white preacher calling it sinful a time ago. I feel like I'm reliving it today.

Well I gave the example of interracial marriage because it's an issue where public opinion was quite strongly in the wrong direction at one time in our recent history. Though the Bible does say that Christians should not marry non-Christians. I'm waiting for the Christian fundamentalists to make a stink about inter-faith marriages.

Or maybe we should try to put the issue of slavery or ethnic cleansing up for a public vote for Constitutional amendment and if see if the Bible believers vote to restore the legality of these two practices.

There is no way this stands.

I hope not, but there are now bans in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Arizona, California and Florida.

Either way you look at it, it's really a true shame.,
