organized religion is only a way of settling the minds of those who must have all the answers. they cant face the fact that there will be questions about our existense that will go unanswered. get used to it.
separation of church and state is impossible when our currency says "in god we trust"
once the old school conservatives grow old and die, this issue will become such as civil rights was in the 60's

there is a separation of church and state for a reason, supes. just because some religious kooks believe something should not dictate public policy. this country has come along way since it was founded. Every religion in the world is here now.

I think every athiest, including myself, would agree that some unexplainable force created the universe. I'm talking pre-Big Bang because something had to create the mass that became the universe. But it's unbelievably ridiculous to assume that this same force is the one that hoovers over us today dictating that what we can and cannot do. Whatever created the world is irrelevant to the way we live it now. We weren't placed here to serve a God whose description has been revised over and over again to suit those in power at the time.

I dont have a problem with people being against gay-marriage. But bringing God into this is ridiculous. You can't argue with that or even discuss it! its a fuckind dead end. It's like saying "here look, final word, now shut the fuck up". That's not a discussion.
Leave God out of it! Leave ur own life how u want to! Frown on other people if u think it's ok. But dont be like god said so god said so. Thats fuckin annoying. aargh!

"However, the state shouldn't sanction that lifestyle, based on the same principles (the ten commandments, Jesus' teachings, principles of moral behaviour) that say homosexual behaviour is in defiance with what God wanted for us and created us for."
It is not for the state to decide... Marriage is so much more than a ceremony performed by a Justice of the Peace, a priest, a rabbi, whatever. UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT... LOVE and commitment... The state has no place there...

"I just do not condone their lifestyle."
frowwIt's not up to you to condone anyone's lifestyle. If it's not causing you direct harm then it's none of your business. That's the problem with mixing religion and politics. There's so many absolute beliefs about other people ought to live their lives.

McLeod.....you did the right thing....you VOTED. Even though you're in a conservative majority state, you did your part. That's the best thing you can do.
My point is this: no matter if you are liberal, conservative, tree hugger, neo-nazi....if you believe in something...get out there and F**KING VOTE! You can attempt to change things by voting or just bitch about them The former is more productive than the latter.

how can you run legislation on a concept that can't be proven?
Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

which leads us to the subject of... was Jesus gay? look at the facts people.
1) he had 12 *disciples* giving them foot massages
2) he never hooked up with any girl
3) he kissed guys
4) he wore a robe = dress

"on this board, everyone is allowed to have their own opinion....as long as it is the same liberal thinking as the majority."

is this liberal?

that was so rude jevad.
you have to talk about God when you talk about this. it is a moral issue. (and yes it is an issue of where should the govt make laws and where should it butt out)
so that goes right to the heart of where does our morality come from? well? Where? Wherever you want? no, it comes from this thing called our conscience, which (and this is part of my faith/beliefs) is planted in us by our creator. this is why all of us have a sense of right from wrong.

in some way religion is politics, and it has its own ugly history
i was raised as a catholic and always wondered why i was never taught the history of church,, so i looked it up myself and i see why they don't teach it
today's church is obviously much different but it still has its ugly side, and thats hard to respect and follow

i still say ban divorce if people are really uppity about doing the right thing and keep the sanctity of marriage intact.
