A pin here for your bubble, under god wasn't added by our founders. It was added in the 50's as a slight to communism. Ps just because youre gay doesn't mean your reproductive system shuts down
i say if those who choose to have same sex marriage, let them who are we to tell them how to live their lives? God didnt give us the moral authority to dictate the rights of others. it shuld be up to the same sex couple to get married and it is their right to be gay or lesbian. our world is changing its time to stop living in the past, and live in the future. everyone should have equal rights.
The bible also says thou shalt not play with pig skins…. So there goes football!
Marriage is an institution that resembles Christ and the Church. God created marriage and he created Man. It was all his ideal. Why would you want to pervert the ways of God? He called for man and women to become one flesh to have children. A male is born with a penis while a woman is born with a vagina. It all makes perfect sense while we were created by a perfect GOD. If you choose to be gay be with your partner but why marriage? Leave it alone. Its for male and female who wants children. Thats a family. Satan has done a good job with perverting God creation. God calls for marriage, satan wants fornication. God say till death with marriage, he wants adultery. He created man and a woman as a help meet, satan wants man and man or woman and woman. Its a wicked world and the more we allow these things to take place our world becomes more wicked. People make a choice how to live their lives its just a shame we will not live according to the perfect plan GOD created.
I'm a conservative and I understand the conservative argument against gay marriage…and I reject it. It just doesn't hold up, because we don't live in biblical times anymore! And while I respect and acknowledge the religious reasons behind it, I'm abhorrred that we don't at least allow civil unions! And most of the country is the same way. I understand and respect the states rights to it's own laws but we should at the very least be allowing civil unions or domestic partnerships. While Judaism and Christianity have an influence on the laws we make and the foundation of this country, we are NOT a Christian nation; we are a free nation.
Yes, Matthew, one day. Maybe and probably not in our life time. But the way I see it is that "Missouri" can not and will not take our hearts from the one we love. I have been with the same woman going on THIRTEEN years. We have a daughter still in our home and a son who has gone out on his own(both biologically my girlfriends). Our daughters school, for instance, treats me as if I am one of her biological parents. On all her school forms her mother writes "parental figure" as she writes my name and number as an emergency contact. The States laws and enforcement of those laws really have no value when it comes to personal living. There are documents and so forth that can be aheard to by law, shall something happen, as long as you have the money to pay an attorney to place these documents in order. I dont see Missouri coming around to "us" gay/lesbian relationships anytime soon. But…back in the 60's it was UNHEARD of for an interracial marriage to happen as well. We are seeing what the Afro Americans seen back then. It was all their fault if a 'white' person fell in love with a 'black' person. Discusting, they would say……very similar to what was tragically said 15 years ago about homosexuality. Acceptance has came a long way in the last 20 years, but the misunderstanding still lies in what 'others' think. Interesing if you ask me. This country, as a whole, will never be free…..Maybe you are not a country(music)fan and may even be straight for all I know, but take a listen, I mean a REAL LISTEN to one of Garth Brooks songs: We Shall Be Free. word for word, line by line, he nailed the United States and We the People. Enjoy……..
I always thought marriage was about being with the person who you loved and wanted to spend the rest of your life with. I didn't know it had to be with a specific gender. Who really cares if a guy loves a guy or if a girl loves a girl. It is two happy people being together in love, tell me what is wrong with that. Some people say it is a sin to be gay. And for some people with certain religions-it is. But for people who are not that certain religion should be allowed to be with whoever that want to be with. In America we pride our selves on doing whatever we set our minds too. Some people set their minds to being a doctor, a lawyer. Some to be a proud husband or wife. Why should we keep other from being what they want to be? I've never heard of anyone saying how gay people effected others in a negative way. Why should others be discriminated aganist who they want to love and spend the rest of their life with. Hopefully everyone will start to notice how disgusting we are and will continue to be unless we change.
I am ashamed of my state for having these laws. I would like to apologize to the entire LGBT community. I am not gay, but I believe and fight viciously for their rights. It is not fair, right, sane, or legitamate in ANY way, that my friends should be denied the right to live their lives their way, with their loves, freely, in a Country that boasts that we should all be free to live how we want. Thick hypocriscy, it is. Someday, it WILL change.
it is those who choose the life to be gay and therefore even though many see that as different aspects, we should allow the marriage to pass. it will end confiict and let those who are gay be happy and those who are not live in a normal life as if nothing as changed. i support gay marriage, equal rights underlaw the supreme rule of this land does not deny us this passage
If you read Leviticus in the Old Testament, Chapter 20 verse 13, you will see that homosexuality is an abomination. The Bible is the word of God. The founding fathers of the United States Constitution, believed in God. The pledge of allegiance states:
"…and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
It is clear this nation was formed under a belief in obedience to our creator, our God! God has told us that homosexuality is an abomination. It is unnatural and not a design of God. There is not one person on earth who was born from Homosexuality or Homosexual parents. Not one! If homosexuality flourished, children would no longer be born on earth and earth will stop being populated. Earth would fall. Homosexuality is wickedness and again, is stated in the Bible as an abomination. Enforcing non-discrimination of homosexuality in effect allows it to occur. Law enforcement then will begin to arrest individuals for violation of this "so-called discrimination of homosexuals" and good honest heterosexual people will begin to lose their freedom. Families will be broken up and children will not be born to homosexuals. Life on Earth would turn to chaos and confusion.
Please outlaw homosexuality and conform to the laws of God. It is God who created all of us and it is HIS will that will bring peace and prosperity. Wickedness never was happiness and never will be. We must learn to obey our creator as the founding fathers desired.

One day the world will change!
