Quote by: Anmon  This is deliberately misconstruing the point I was making about gay marriages being accepted by society's in the past as equal to conventional ones, presenting a few ceremony's performed now and then by obviously gay clergy, and not possibly recognised by the Church, doesn't make your statement here valid. |
I enjoy debating with people like you, there are so many people around today that base the future on simply what people's decisions have been in the past.
Gay marriage has been discriminated against for years, so what? This is today, please stop living in the past and realise that things are changing, you argue that the religious morals of 2000 years ago are still true and meaningful today, yes of course they are, of course they are a stable base for a happy family, but that does not inhibit the fact that some of the church's views are still 2000 years old and desperately need rethinking to fit in with today's modern society.
In the past gay marriages have occurred individually and been unrecognized and unsupported by the church, that means that the present day church shouldn't support gay marriage because...?
