HOWEVER...I do kinda agree with NOS.  For those of us who do have faith, most believe that their faith is more important than the political agenda. 

Remember when you die, politics mean f*** all.

To be honest, I will put my faith ahead of the political agenda of this country.

I have nothing against homosexuals.  I believe they should have all of the same civil liberties and advantages ATM as normal heterosexuals and rightly deserve so as human beings.

If you think I'm an ignorant f***tard cause of this, put me on your ignore list.

I have faith as well, but the fact remains that faith isn't always right. .. especially when it comes to homosexuality.

The church is againts it, why? It's not like homosexuality was written about in the bible. Homosexuality wasn't even a word until the 19th century, and it was introduced as a concept by the Germans. So how the hell did it get into the new testament as some churches like to teach it? Jesus never talked about it, there weren't even any words in the Hebrew language that could describe it.

So homosexuality didn't come from the bible. It was explicitly added by religious figures as interpreted from the bible to fit within their own beliefs. Man put prejudice against homosexuality into religion, not God, not Jesus, regular people like my mom, myself, Nos, and Anthony.

Regular also makes laws, it's really no different than religion. Religion sets a set of rules to live by to get into heavenve a better life... Laws are rules made to govern society. And like law, not all religious dogma is altruistic because it was made by man with their own biases, beliefs, and interests.

So while people made gay rights a religious matter, it probably shouldn't even be there... Christian religions should be teaching the life of Christ, and his undying love for everyone equally.

The religious prejudice against homosexuality is really hypocritical IMO, and like a lot of things that bother me about religion, it centers around 'selective' respect and love of your fellow man.

I'm not contesting homosexuality. Live and let live.

But isn't it in the Bible that marriage is between a man and a woman?

Why should we follow the bible? Because someone tells us too?
