It was a sarcastic remark. I have no wish to debate the veracity of it, so I'll move on. Perhaps you didn't see my answer to a similar statement in a previous post: Because marriage is the union of man and woman. That's what it is. Again, calling an elephant a daisy, no matter if one...

There are legal documents that could be drawn up to cover all that. And if the government was out of the marriage business, everyone would have to do so, which in a legal respect makes more sense anyway, because it would be clear and concise as to one's wishes for such things.

Harry Potter, Santa, Easter Bunny, Halloween, TV shows about witches/witchcraft, occult, etc. dating (our family is committed to courtship, and for us it's working very well)

That's called legislation from the bench, and it, in itself, is wrong. Two wrongs don't make it right. Marriage is the union of man and woman. Homosexuals can marry, but they are bound by the same requirements and restrictions as anyone else. No one has a "right" to "marry" the one they...

I absolutely agree! I didn't make it so, it has always been so that same sex couples cannot marry in the United States of America. But it is quite legal for homosexuals to marry ... they are bound by the same restrictions and requirements as heterosexuals. If you are arguing they should be...

Exceptions don't make rules. If it was generally accepted, and acceptable, it would be in existence today and not at issue. Apparently it (homosexual "unions") wasn't all that popular then, which lends credence to my position. Overwhemlingly, though the number and race of the participants has...

If you feel that strongly about it, perhaps you should start another thread. However, to interject that in this one is a strawman fallacy, and I don't wish to travel down that rabbit trail. Sorry.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one, I guess. I want respect too, for my way of life. As a Christian, my conviction is that homosexual behavior is 1) wrong, 2) unhealthy and unsafe, 3) immoral, 4) and goes against my belief. Why should I be forced to "respect" them by embracing the...

Strawman. I have no desire to enter a discussion on that, as I do not believe that is what this thread is about. Thanks anyway.

Sarcastic, but possibly unintentionally prophetic. While the number and race of the people have at times in history been at issue, the essence of marriage (it's DNA, if you will) has remained the same: man and woman, united. Anything other than that, is not marriage. The law cares not about...

I see sarcasm isn't lost on you, ;)

You presume correctly.

Yes the embrace of immorality and the slippery slope of debauchery is well underway. Bring on the lions, prepare the seats in the Colloseum, it's about time to start sending in the Christians. :(

I believe people who have and harbor such strong negative feelings for Christians are actually under conviction, and just don't know it. Seems only logical -- why else would they be struggling so hard against something they truly believe doesn't exist? Wouldn't it simply be easier just to...

I don't have any polls or statistics, only a personal testimony. I had an abortion, and for years suffered mental anguish and agony, guilt, shame, and pain. It had nothing to do with any shame placed on me by society, but by the fact that I allowed the child in my womb to be murdered. Praise...

:wave: Hi there! I think of myself as a conservative Christian because I feel strongly conservative, both fiscally and socially. The fact that I refuse to compromise my conservative stance just because "the other side" is so bad. Most especially right now, seeing as how we have a...

:wave: Hi All I'm not a big fan of tear-jerkers or mushy-gushy movies. I prefer Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang to Mary Poppins, he he. So, well, I am a Christian Conservative. Currently my family has no church home, but we've been visiting some. We homeschool, love the Lord, and try to be good...

Hello there. Should I call you Googly, Melsie, Poogly, or GMP? :)

It's still hard though, because no matter what, whatever one reveals becomes a permanent part of what other people think of them. That's one of the sad things about human frailty -- while God can remove those things as the East is from the West, we humans can't, and once those seeds are planted...

I think the reason I am an "avoider" is because I just don't seem to ever know the right thing to say or do. I try to be a good daughter, but then I just end up messing things up. I try to be a good friend, but then whatever I do seems to be the wrong thing. I also worry that if anyone ever...
