What I'm saying is that Gay's should have the freedom to marry but at the same time they should respect religious institutions if they are denied marriage in churches knowing full well of the religious stance concerning homosexuality.

This is the same person who said women should be silent in church, and their only real use is to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen...
Why trust a Pharisee?

But these guys WEREN'T denied marriage in a church. They were welcomed and married there. No one forced the church to marry them.

What, in your opinion, would Jesus have thought about gays and gay marriage?
no, they do not condone it, propogate it as truth and certainly do not call it good.

Practicing homosexuals can't be practicing Christians anymore than practicing murderers, or practicing liars, or practicing heretics.
So... Practicing Christians NEVER lie?

There's a lot of overlap in that list
:-)
Always seemed kinda redundant to me - but who am I to critique perfection?

See this is what irritates me more than anything about a certain group of people here on this site. There is absolutely nothing hateful about what I said, but its almost impossible to not develop hate for people who keep making the same baseless assertion over and over and over again. I have no hate in my heart whatsoever towards homosexuals (my grandmother and my brother were gay btw), but I seriously hate you freaking activists with a passion. You are the most intolerant and hardheaded people I have ever had the displeasure of conversing with in my entire life.

Neither Romans nor Corinthians gives instruction to kill homosexuals.
Just out of curiosity, since you, as a non-believer, have these verses saved in your special place ... do you also find threads talking about sexual swingers, sexually active teenagers, burglars, drunks, et. al. and point your verse out? Or is it just the gays that get under your skin?
You're mistaken. You've proven you're mistaken with the verses you quote. There is no instruction, injunction, direction, etc. to kill gays in the NT. Period.

The evidence is that all 3 Monotheistic religions are against Homosexuality. That is all the Evidence I need.. You can pull the old Paul was a Pharisee or a traitor, do what you will but when it comes down to it, throughout history homosexuality has been condemned. That is undeniable regardless of what angle I'm coming from.
you seem really mad at someone. Shouldnt you be happy from this news? Or is it becoming apparent to all you hate Christians, and you do not need a book to validate it. Please dont bite me,

I realize that you see nothing wrong with condemning others, even though your own Book not only advises against it but commands that you not do it and love others as you love yourself. You just stated up there that there's no way a gay person can be a Christian, and guess what, YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT. You're not God.
As to the rest of you spiel, believe me, the feeling is mutual toward the holier than thou crowd those who wander into any thread that suits you and start spewing your absolutist crap and THEN pretending like you're the victims when we stand up to you and call you on your garbage. Who cares if you believe gays will burn in hell? Who cares if I believe that 99% of the people I have met who claim to be Christian are really psychopaths barely restrained from burning others at the stake (again.)
And guess what? I don't have any Book telling ME it's wrong to HATE. You DO.

Where did I say that the Bible said to go out and kill Homosexuals? I said something along the lines of they are deserving of death.. Big difference pal. Don't distort what I am saying.
it actually says in the New Testament that Homosexuals are deserving of death.
