Well, the thing is, if you want to take the Bible verbatim as the word of god you have to realize it's not that. It' been edited by men. For a time. Take their individual perspectives in view before thinking it's come down from some deity, real, or imagined.
You agree that hot lesbian chicks are awesome? SWEET!

No, I've never seen the show; that story was honestly from some mythology class WAY back at U of M.
I think RunnerX makes sense as well. Listening to friends via phone rant about what they can and cannot do adds to the flame.

I'm not arguing at all with Kristin's post, but it has been one of my biggest dilemas as a Christian. I truly believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, as Pug said. I'm torn between the idea that people could have let interpretted it influenced by their prespectives and the thought that God definitely had the power to chose and influence who was editing his book.
Overall, Pug had the best point IMHO, the greatest commandment is to love one another as Jesus loved us. I have enough of my own various sins to worry about.
I just can't understand how loving someone else could be wrong, even though I can see in Scripture that it is. Good thing I'm not called upon to be perfect!

I'm not saying abusing the system is right (or that I condone it), but if you are banning gay marriage because they might abuse the system...then we need to ban all marriages.
Because you prevent those who are committed to each other, and not interested in abusing the system from enjoying those benefits. You could look at your argument and turn it around: All marriages should be banned because some heteros abuse the system. we should correct the problems of people abusing it....not say "we can't let those people do it too"
Since this has gotten to the point of somebody whispering something at the back of a classroom and seeing how different it is by the time it gets to the front.....this is what I originally wrote..
Somebody else made the point that right now the system is abused.....
I made a point about MY thoughts on where the can of worms gets opened...and that all Oklahomans should be executed
I also don't think anybody has watched Red Dawn :?

I think gay marrige is amazing. Its like any other type of marrige... Beautiful! Gender us just some name that someone made yo to define a person as a separation why have to date the opposite group. Personally i am a girl but do not like girls. Its a amazing thing to know about people that have gay marrige because it shows they are brave and sont care about what other people thing and only what the people that matter think.

got it too, although it's been years since I watched RD.

My point too. I certainly wasn't OK'ing their abusing the system, but one of the arguments on the conservative side is that they are just trying to get benefits they are otherwise not entitled to (DESPITE the fact that many companies across the country, including where I work, have adopted the domestic partner policy and do give bene's to same sex partners--I forget exactly what the criteria is, but....) so I was merely countering that by pointing out that homosexual couples are not the only people who are willing or capable of abusing the system so preemptive discrimination of them is ridiculous.
