What The ‘Gay Marriage’ Debate Is Really About

[mark francis]

So you are saying that God, in his Bible, told the faithful to pass laws against gay marriage?
And you are all for stoning sassy children to death and enslaving "barbarian savages", right?

I believe everything God says is the absolute truth.

You have no clue what God is saying. But what did he say? Stone sassy children to death and enslave other people.

If you are a 2nd millennium Jew then you had better obey God's commands if you want peace.

I don't think that "peaceful" is an adjective that can be used to describe the history of the Jews, ever. God does not seem to have wanted Jews to live in peace, because that is not what has been their fate.\
How many commandments are there for Jews to follow? You should know, being as you are the religious fanatic.
There are 613 of them. Including a ban on eating raisins.

How unscientific of you.

How is your religion based on science?

God's promise to Israel, His chosen people:

Leviticus 26
King James Version

1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.
2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.​

So you are all for stoning sassy kids to death and slavery. Yeah.

How is your religion based on science?

I don't think even Scientilogy of Christian Science are much into science.

God's promise to Israel, His chosen people:

Why did God choose the Jews over, say, guys like YOU, Mark? Were you lacking in righetousness, perhaps?

Leviticus 26​

King James Version​

​

1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.​

2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.​

3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;​

4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.​

5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.​

6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.​

7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.​

8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.​

9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.​

God kinda sorta FAILED to reward the Jews with peace, you gotta admit.

I'm not christian.

I don't have to or want to follow christian law.

No one should force me to follow christian law.

That's one of the good things about freedom of religion, I just wish christians believed in freedom of religion for everyone and all faiths.

It just seems to me that some christians believe freedom of religion means christians are free to force their religion on everyone in our nation.

Christian laws have NOTHING to do with the laws of the USA and our constitution. Our constitution says everyone is equal. There is no asterisk with exceptions for the LGBT community.

The LGBT community has the right to live their lives as they choose without others trying to take rights and freedoms from them.

Like Muslims, the Christians have a god given crusade to convert everyone to what they believe. It's an arrogant pompous position which is so obvious. So much of the "thank god" and " god bless you" bullshit is basically designed to make us feel guilty. As if they have something unique that I don't.
Then there's the arrogance to suggest heaven awaits them and they have an special personal relationship with a god who replies to them.
But the one which trumps them all is how they know the destination and punishment of those atheists who refuse to accept a ghost into their lives.

Another is the hypocrisy of attending church while simultaneously unbeknown to them obviously, they are supporting pedophile clergy then spend their spare carrying signs condemning LGBTQ people and unmarried mothers.
It's breathtaking how the idiots cannot see the hypocrisy of anything when they believe they are doing gods work.

You never see an atheist doing it. It's only when you think you will receive eternity.

Unlike atheists, Christians are not jailing unbelievers for not sacrificing their atheistic views to strict government mandates.

Christians do testify of Jesus but leftists who classify such free speech as forced indoctrination are crazy.
