    Silly post. 5 Billion people go through their daily lives without thinking about the Christian God. Their approaches to life are as varied and
    meaningful as they wish them to be. Very narrow minded to think that the only path is your path. Very silly indeed.

    That's a thousand times better than wasting my life following the moronic instructions of a low IQ sheep herder that died 2,500 years ago.

    If I marry a hot shemale but she has a bigger dick than I do, does that make me gay? Or does it matter who's the pitcher and who's the catcher? o_O

    "Moronic instructions of a low IQ sheep herder..."

    This is why atheists aren't mean to be taken seriously.

    Silly post. No one said anything about the "Christian God."

    If you believe those goat herders then I cannot take you seriously either. If you think that when you pray for guidance some invisible god is telling you what to do, you might want to consider seeking medical help.

    Yeah, if only we were as sane, logical and reasonable as the all-wise atheist.

    Acting on one's sexual orientation has no adverse rffect. There's nothing wrong with it.

    If there were a god, it would be necessary to murder him. You know why? Because it opens the door to pointless rules with no grounding in reality dictated by a supreme fascist. The idea of banning mixed fabrics is just as laughable as banning same sex relationships.

    The only way we can possibly have purpose and a world worth living in is if we do it ourselves. We need to make our own purposes.

    No. She's a woman. You're still attracted to femininity.

    And why would you condemn homosexuality if it has absolutely no bearing on your personal life whatsoever? Because...?

    I've stated several times, I could careless if homosexuals are married a gay church. What I protest is official recognition of homosexuality as anything other than what it is, a perversion of the human biological state. We are a male female species and that should remain our only definition.

    Why? How does it affect you? You need to do a lot better than bang away at your 'perversion' schtick I'm afraid. So far all I can conclude from your posts is bigotry with zero logical foundation.

    Look, the homosexual lifestyle is proven to be more disease infested(general health issues) and contain a higher % of pedophiles. It is clearly outside our natural state and should be recognized as such.

    You can whine about this all you wish. It will not change the facts. I will continue to promote honesty concerning human sexuality and make sure my posterity are aware the same. I have zero problem with being labelled a bigot of perversions.

    The pedophile part is hateful propaganda. I've been through that too many times before and I'm not going to do it again for someone who I suspect does not want to hear it.

    As far as disease goes, there has be some health concerns but I'm not sure about the current situation and have not been concerned about that myself.

    In any case, let me remind you that this thread is about same sex marriage. We can expand on that to include gay rights in general. That then begs the question:

    If any of what you say is true at all, what do we, as a society and a country do to improve on the situation. What would be a rational logical and workable public policy? How should the legal system address homosexuality and the marriage issue in a way that can minimize your concerns?.

    You can keep whining about perversion, disease and pedophilia, OR you can actually give some thought to the subject and answer the question posed in the OP, and at the same time address the issues that you claim to be concerned about.

    My position is that society only give official recognition to our biological state. IMO, not adhering to our natural state and degrading our species by declaring unnatural deviations as normal is a threat to the stability and health of human society. This is the point of this thread.

    So basically you are confirming that you support state sponsored discrimination and the continued marginalization of a group of people because YOU and a FEW OTHERS like you disapprove of who they have sex with. That is the height of self-righteous arrogance. You claim that gay marriage, and I suppose any gay rights or even the recognition of them as human beings will “degrade the species” while offering no specifics as to how that will happen. Therefore, that statement is nothing more than an appeal to fear and ignorance, as though there was any reason to take you seriously.

    You invoke a concern about disease but it’s apparent that you are not really concerned about that and just conjured that up, like you did with the reference to pedophilia, as an opportunity to bash and disparage gays. You don’t give a crap about the health of the gay community, and probably would not care much if they were really victimizing children, which they are not. You just want to drive then underground to that you don’t have to see or hear them, and don’t care what they do then.

    You offered absolutely no ideas as to how public policy can address your fears about homosexuality but that is about what I expected. You must live in a very dark and dreadful world, seeing it change- for the better all-around you- while you sit the frightened out of your wits, about nothing

    Just thought I'd point out that neither of these claims are true.

    Actually, I advocate that all governments get out of marriage and sex.

    We can both site studies that defend our positions, but knowing human nature, I believe my position is accurate.

    And, no. Our natural human state is male female. The fact that deviants have been around does not make them natural to our biological state.

    Nature is worthless. Try using logic to prove a point instead of rambling about things that don't matter.

    Yes, let excuse all natural evidence that we are a male female species. It's all I need.

    You know, except the large subset of the population attracted to the same sex. It's beneficial for some members of the population not to reproduce. They contribute to the community without burdening it with more children. It's a natural buffer for supporting larger populations. This is basic evolutionary science.

    You think you know nature. You don't. You don't have the slightest grasp on the complexities of evolutionary theory.

    I don't dwell on theory. I'm satisfied with natural facts. Humans don't have penises and vaginas in theory.

    I have no philosophical problem with that, but as a practical matter, it simply isn't going to happen.

    What if a sect of the Christian Church has deemed same sex marriage holy. Do the other sects have the right to infringe on their freedom of religion and tell them they can not perform the ceremony in their church? What's this demand that they "marry each other at city hall". There are hundreds of whacky religious cults here in America who all make up their own rules and each one of them think that all the other ones are full of crap. That's the beauty of America, why change it just to keep homosexually oriented people from suffering the indignities of marriage? What's up with you knuckleheads anyway? Get a grip!
