You are mistaken. Legalizing gay marriage gives LEGITIMACY to homosexual relations in a way they do not now have, and WOULD influence peoples choices.
Of course the greatest commandment "love one another as I have loved you" has nothing to do with justifying people in their own sin. It is much more loving to try to get someone OUT of a sinful lifestyle than to encourage it. If you think encouraging the homosexual lifestyle is "love" you are gonna be sorrily mistaken. Justifying people in their sin hurts them in the long run.
A single mother, or two mothers, or two fathers, or an institution, no matter how loving, are simply not the equal of a loving mother and father comitted to each other. Children need both, and the government needs to continue supporting this.
There is most definitely nothing sinful whatsoever about being LGBT or in an LGBt relationship.
This would not occur were it not for the woman hatred directed at them by members of the anti-abortion movement. They have done nothing sinful and nothing of which they need to be ashamed, but are told otherwise by evil forces which seek to control them.
Your are misinformed; to be pro-choice is in no way at all to be pro-abortion; it is an entirely neutral position.
This is certainly wishful thinking on your part because there is absolutely nothing wrong about it.
Yes, because the woman haters are active everywhere
That is true. But one person can be enough to change it. Go read what some of your Popes had to say about owning another human being. They were wrong about that. Maybe they are wrong about this as well.You have no authority to claim what is sinful and what isn't. Only the Church as a whole does. The Church as a whole says homosexuality is a sin. One persons opinion does not overide the authority of the church.
Of course, for your argument to be true, there would have to be an increase in the incidents of psychological distress in women that had an abortion as compared to those that did not. There is no increase. Nice try, though.I disgaree. They are ashamed because they know they have just killed an innocent human being who did not deserve to be killed. it is easy to blame others. But if what you say is really true women wouldn't be feeling the guilt the way they do. It is much deeper than you think
Nice Godwin.Right, because even though its bad to kill Jews the Nazis still should have the CHOICE to if they want to. because..you know.. its the choice that matters. Its a neutral position
Your God, maybe. But I, too, would find your hateful God hard to love.Again you have no authority to claim what is right and wrong. And if you think you have authority to declare what is right and wrong, I can honestly then say, you have no love for God.
See above.you sound paranoid. I think maybe you should take a really deep look at the actions you justify because you start blaming others. You cannot love God while defending sin.

Actually I don't. I think a great many divorces are silly, and people need to stop being so selfish, and work things out for the best interests of their children. There ARE cases where things ARE disastrous and cannot be worked out. In such cases, divorce is the lesser of two evils. That was in fact my situation. But if you think I'm going to sit here and claim that raising my children alone was better than them being raised in a loving home with a father and a mother, think again. It's not. It's simply better than raising them in a home that has become dangerous. It is not a good thing. It is a very, very BAD thing. It is just LESS bad.
In many ways, you are correct. Divorce ON DEMAND for nothing more than "irreconcilable differences" (she has found a richer guy, he has found a younger honey) has been destructive to the family.
The destigmitization of having children out of wedlock hurt the family even worse.
The legalization of gay marriage will go yet one step further in the destruction of the family, placing the needs of adults first above the needs of children. It has been a classic case of slippery slope.
How has it hurt the family? Have you ever read stories of girls back in the 1950's whose parents sent them to places like Florence Crittenton homes where their babies were taken from their against their consent so as not to make their parents "look bad"? Do you know how many young women from that era have been permanently and irrevocably traumatized due to the stigma that used to surround unwed motherhood? These were young women who wanted to raise their children, but were told that a married man and woman were more qualified for the job.
I think I can speak for everyone who is outside of the Christian faith and say that you have no authority over my life. The church only has authority over those within the church. The church has no authority in society, as a whole.
I just want to add, the word "Homophobe" is usually used as a put down, by those who are either homosexual or for homosexuality, against those who are not.
It's condescending and mean spirited name calling and that's all. And it really shouldn't be given any more importance than any other put down applied to anyone that disagrees with the bigot using it.
It is the job of the government to set up policies that benefit society at large.
The institiution that has shown itself as being the best social and economic arrangment for the raising of children is the marriage between men and women.
By legalizing gay marriage, the door is open to those who would otherwise have chosen a heterosexual marrage to choose a homosexual partnership, thus undermining what is best for children and therefore for socieity.

Because children are involved, this is hardly a private matter.

Again, the government's job is to set policies that are for the general good of society. We are paying for this already in terms of of childhood poverty, health care, free school lunch programs, welfare programs, behavior problems ranging from classroom disorder to the largest incarcerated population in the world. No system is perfect, but some systems are clearly better than others, and we are replacing a system that has been shown to work well with one which, in its short time, has only delivered pain and suffering for our children.
In a word, we need to GROW UP and put our own needs aside for the good of the community.
Post-abortion syndrome IS pretty well documented. Before you rail against it like people are just making it up, do some research.
Actually it never comes up in my real life. It's only places like here in the forum, where I'm inundated by threads pushing the gay agenda and insinuating that I'm neurotic that I end up responding.
Interesting that you should defend those engaged in bigotry by calling the people who correctly label them as such as bigotsI just want to add, the word "Homophobe" is usually used as a put down, by those who are either homosexual or for homosexuality, against those who are not.
It's condescending and mean spirited name calling and that's all. And it really shouldn't be given any more importance than any other put down applied to anyone that disagrees with the bigot using it.

Again you have no authority to claim what is right and wrong. And if you think you have authority to declare what is right and wrong, I can honestly then say, you have no love for God.
You cannot love God while defending sin.
