Just what role would the government play in controlling sexual behavior between consenting adults in a nation of 330 million Americans?so you think the government should have no role to play in controlling sexual behavior?

Your stupid is showing.Huh?
Only 4% of which are gayJust what role would the government play in controlling sexual behavior between consenting adults in a nation of 330 million Americans?
It may come as a surprise to the OP, but time spent engaged in sex, regular or otherwise, is a small fraction of married life!
Up until relatively recently, "gays" could not engage in sex within marriage because such unions were not recognized by the state!
The government cannot force Churches to perform or recognize "gay marriage", based on the separation of Church and State.
Based on that same principle, however, the Church is not entitled to determine the only definition of "marriage" within a secular society!
How did you find all this out? Did you experience both, or something?
Just you try (physically) over-ruling any couple's marriage, and see what the law will do to you!
So Hetro-couples never experience lust for each other?
How long have you been married, and I beg to ask, how many times?
You didn't write in the name of love on this thread, so don't try it now.![]()
It never ceases to amaze me how conservatives who scream about wanting "freedom " and "liberty ", "smaller government " and "limited government" literally want the government and the police in everyone's bedroom to make sure they're not having sex of the "wrong kind ".
I don't want to control their type of sex in their bedrooms. Keep the term marriage for the union of a man and a woman. This definition not for gays to re-define.
Bahauallah put it quite well. In so many words he said that he accepted polyamorous marriage (of one husband-two wives) if all spouses could be treated equally.So you'd be for the "equal marriage rights" of more than 2 spouses?
Why should it be a crime? Why are you against the equal marriage rights of a brother and sister?
homosexuality was a crime
Bahauallah put it quite well. In so many words he said that he accepted polyamorous marriage (of one husband-two wives) if all spouses could be treated equally.
But I wouldn't expect you to be much impressed by Bahauallah.
But then you might embrace his belief that gays could not be given a vote or sit upon government seats.....
I get the feeling that you grab anything which might suit your needs, and throw down anything against.....?
Me? I live in a country where refugees with two wives can keep them both.
What you don't understand, cannot seem to grasp, is why the laws about marriage were given to Moses 'back in the day'. All of the 613 were intended for the protection of, health of, strength of, cohesion of..... the people.
Incestuous marriages produced weak children, so that's damaging the health of and strength of.,... the whole community. So it was outlawed. That's why it's unlawful today.
You try to think in terms of good and evil etc...... although you seem to go so horribly wrong even there.
Mose's Laws were about health, strength, cohesion. There were no exceptions, so there's something for you to do..... looking for any exceptions..... but there aren't any.
But Gay marriage is safe with regard to health, strength, cohesion etc...... so there's no reason why it should noty be lawful
Do you know where the g spot on a faggot is? Right at the tip of a pile of crap
This stuff must swirl around inside your mind...... perpetually.
Gays are not the ones to define the term 'marriage'.
Governments and religions are doing that.
Like could happen today.
The Scottish Episcopal Church leaders are meeting in Edinburgh today to debate and vote on the question of 'should this church accept gay marriages?'
It could vote against the proposal, but the mere fact that it is meeting to make such a vote should show you how many Creeds and Churches are moving towards gay marriage.
Creeds and churches have fallen away from the authoritative teaching of scripture: they are mere man made entities, and their acceptance of gay marriage never justifies the practice or change the true traditional meaning of marriage.
Excellent!Governments and some churches are responding to the gay movement for marriage equality.
Let's be real. It's actually about the person you wish to spend your life having sex with, and having everyone recognize it as legit.
But that's different! :hammer:
It was also a crime to teach blacks to read and for women to own property.
Do you miss those days?
:think: So the only reason ANY couple marries is so that others see their private, sexual relationship as legit. Do you find that a decent reason for heterosexuals to marry?Good thing love has nothing to do with marriage.
No, it is not. You are against abortion - sin. You are against murder - sin.Sin is a religious concept.
:think: ....But that's just your 'man-made' opinion.
And so Christianity is moving towards the light, whilst you will be left hiding in the darkness.
Romans 1:28,32Excellent!
You got something right.
And Jesus would not object to this at all.
....or can you quote from the words of Jesus to the contrary? I think not.
