Quote by: fogus Christians believe that there has been a standard set forth in the Bible which gives us our understanding and basis of law. Homosexuality goes against that law. If you don’t like it then you had better find another supernatural moral law giver, rather than denying that there is a moral law. You cannot live you life with out being two faced when you say that there is no absolute moral law. You can't live that, it will only take someone to sit you down and ask you for a good reason why child abuse/murder/incest/rape/lying or cheating is wrong. |
Make up your mind. Either only the supernatural being can determine what is right or wrong or people are capable of doing this without checking with god. People can see that abuse/murder/incest/rape/lying or cheating are wrong without resorting to the bible. That is because they can see the harm it does to others. Now if you want to contend that two people of the same sex making a life long commitment to each other and living as a family causes harm then make that case. Otherwise resorting to your bible as an argument is no better than me finding some other holy document that says that it is a-okay. No one is saying that anyone must marry the same sex. The funny thing about this is that gays already have families. Nobody appears to be bothered by this. What bothers people is that they want the same treatment under the law as anyone else. Now perhaps this might help you.
They are not asking for the same treatment under biblical law. They are asking for the same treatment under federal law. Now perhaps you are confused and think that federal law is biblical law. Well let me straiten you out. The constitution doesn’t mention the bible one time. In fact the only mention it makes of religion is to say that religion should have no say in government and government should have no say in religion. So if you are concerned about gays getting equal treatment under biblical law then you should be talking to your fellow church members about this and make sure that your rabbi, priest, witchdoctor, imam, monk, pastor, shaman, priestess, minister or whatever doesn’t marry gays in your church. Other than that, if they are not trying to stop you from marrying who you want and they are not hurting anyone then it is none of your god damned business.
