getting there Scotland...slowly but surely.

BBC News - MSPs endorse gay marriage bill

I doubt Scotland will have a problem passing this. Northern Ireland is the one which has had issues.

Ah, so they're catching up to go insane with the rest of the world and spit on God's word...

So nice that we humans are teaching GOD how things should be...I mean, He's ONLY God...we're SO much better than Him right? What would HE know? I mean, He just created everything but still, we DO know better...so Scotsman will really be Scott's Man...

Christians referring to the rest of the world as "insane." Oh the irony.

And a beautiful thing it will be for Scott. Finally the reasonable, critically thinking, compassionate masses will see how perfectly natural (you'll be surprised how prevalent same sex relations are within the animal kingdom) it is for two consenting men or women to finally profess their love for each in an equal setting. The fact that we should allow outdated laws to govern/dictate to our more enlightened minds is an insult to humanity.

No one is spitting on anything.
Governments just don't look to your bible on laws which effect everyone, both Christian and those of other faiths.

Why are you so desperate to see it as people purposefully going against your faith?
Governments have to keep in mind that there are people of all different faiths and beliefs that live within their borders, and make laws accordingly.
It's not malicious, just to attack your beliefs; it's just fair.

Hi guys,

Well non-religious, you say Christians referring to the rest of the world as insane? lol, so happens, my Cousin is a gay man and even HE feels same sex marriage is stupid and shouldn't happen...also, he's NOT a Christian...so your statement equals nil...
How are the laws outdated? Let's see, God set them up when the world began and God is never changing and the law of 2 same sex marriage is unchanging to Him, so show me where it's outdated...

Hi Gene, so we should accomodate all faiths and beliefs? So we have 2 Jim Jones wannabes that wanna get married before a suicide pact to crash into a crowd of people, but with that thinking, we can't stop them...cause that's their faith and don't wanna offend right?
And how is it fair? Homosexuals were offended and now seem to run everything and that's ok...but being a Christian, we're not allowed to get offended? Is it not unfair to us? What about OUR faith? Didn't you just say people of all different faiths? Well, I don't see same sex marriage as God blessed so I'm offended but will they hear MY voice? Nah...not at all...Christians really don't have much of a say anymore...

But hey, that's ok...let it happen...they'll find out in the end...haha, what a pun if there ever was one...

Statements aside, nice to meet you non-religious and Genersis

[Jimmy P]Hi guys,

Well non-religious, you say Christians referring to the rest of the world as insane? lol, so happens, my Cousin is a gay man and even HE feels same sex marriage is stupid and shouldn't happen...also, he's NOT a Christian...so your statement equals nil...

So because your gay cousin feels that gay marriage is "stupid" and "shouldn't happen" (which I find somewhat questionable, but I'll go with your rather weak premise) that equates to my point as somehow equaling nil? Right....

How are the laws outdated? Let's see, God set them up when the world began and God is never changing and the law of 2 same sex marriage is unchanging to Him, so show me where it's outdated...

I already pointed out the fact that it occurs frequently within the animal kingdom i.e. the natural world. You, on the other hand, have to rely upon specific verses in a book written by men and that your god actually exists. Given the fact you can't even begin to prove his existence, it kinda goes without saying that the opposition to things like same sex marriage are built entirely upon a falsehood/lie.

But hey, that's ok...let it happen...they'll find out in the end...haha, what a pun if there ever was one...

Sadly, I actually think your skewed view of the world is not a rarity (especially in the States), and this hateful comment aptly illustrates how indoctrinated you are. You resort to the tried and tested "threat" because you have no reasonable, intelligent response and by default have to resort to this kind of ridiculous rhetoric. I actually feel sorry for you.

 

[Jimmy P]

Hey, you don't have to believe me about my Cousin...just wanted to let you know not all gay people are for same sex marriage...

Ok, so it happens in the animal kingdom....SO? Animals pee and poop on the sidewalk, should we?

Ah, here we go, prove God's existence...wondered when you'd throw that in the mix...ok, instead, why don't YOU prove to ME that He doesn't exist?

I made a threat? How so?

Now if I read in the Bible that God was all for gays and them being married, well hey, I'd be on board with that...yes, the Bible was written by men...and they were inspired what to write from God...

You wanna support the gays? Go for it...I threw in my 2 cents and I touched on your nerve...you're the one that became all unraveled over it

You feel sorry for me? Awww, you're cute...don't...I'm happy in my God blessed marriage...in fact, today is my 11th Anniversary, and we've been together for 13 yrs...so I'm having a nice day...and conversing with you has made it even better, thank you for that...

[Jimmy P]Hey, you don't have to believe me about my Cousin...just wanted to let you know not all gay people are for same sex marriage...

Didn't say they were, and no, I don't believe you.

Ok, so it happens in the animal kingdom....SO? Animals pee and poop on the sidewalk, should we?

You'd be surprised how many people do pee on the sidewalk; especially on a weekend night after the pubs and clubs have closed

Ah, here we go, prove God's existence...wondered when you'd throw that in the mix...ok, instead, why don't YOU prove to ME that He doesn't exist?

The onus is not on me, but you actually believe in something that is neither proven or even remotely verifiable. That speaks volumes, but whatever makes you happy eh?

I made a threat? How so?

I already highlighted your quote and explained. Not sure a further explanation is warranted.

Now if I read in the Bible that God was all for gays and them being married, well hey, I'd be on board with that...yes, the Bible was written by men...and they were inspired what to write from God...

Given the fact (you see how much I like facts) that many of the stories that so inspire you are literally plagiarized from myths that predate Christianity hundreds of years, I would suggest that their inspiration had nothing to do with god and everything to do with fables and mythical gods. Even the story of the water being turned into wine was not originated in Biblical scripture.

You wanna support the gays? Go for it...I threw in my 2 cents and I touched on your nerve...you're the one that became all unraveled over it

I support people. I am a human who believes in equality for all. It's a beautifully liberating feeling.

You feel sorry for me? Awww, you're cute...don't...I'm happy in my God blessed marriage...in fact, today is my 11th Anniversary, and we've been together for 13 yrs...so I'm having a nice day...and conversing with you has made it even better, thank you for that...

They say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I too am married. 12yrs and with three beautiful daughters. I too love life and have a very active and successful career. Not sure why I needed to tell you that, but hey since we're in the business of sharing, why not. Take care

 

[Jimmy P]

The threat you speak of, not from me, from God...in the Bible...yes, I believe the Bible, I believe in God...you don't, I do...we're different...

I believe in something not proven? But yet, you don't believe in something that has not been disproven...

No sarcasm at all NR, just throwing that in there...it was a good day...


12 yrs? Congratz...we have one boy, 9...cool little dude

Happy Thanksgiving NR...have a good night...
