The reason homosexuals cannot handle anyone saying they believe homosexuality is wrong is because the homosexual is intolerant toward Christian beliefs and the human right to disagree. The homosexual therefore becomes bigoted.
Funny how none of them can see that so I guess they are one eyed as well.

They put aside the fact that this country was formed with the intention to separate church and state, and put their own selfish ideas in front of it.

Have fun living in a lifestyle choice that has rampant drug abuse, violence towards their sexual partner, and sexually transmitted diseases. Living in that kind of sin will send you to Hell for all of eternity. Once you are in the flames no relief will be given.
Make the correct eternal choice and turn from homosexuality and embrace eternal life in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Talk about prejudice!!!!! So being gay make one a drug user, violant and sick.....I'll have you know that there are thousands of people diagnosed each year with HIV AIDS (I assume that is what disease you meant) that are not gay.
Just saying!
And living in love does not imply only with the oposite gender...LOVE IS LOVE no matter how you look at it, and THAT is the right eternal choice. Didn't "GOD" say "Love thy neighbor"...I dont recal the addition "if they are straight".
God created Man to love a Woman and vise versa, not a man to love a man or a woman to love a woman sexually. It's a corruption of what God created in the beginning. Homosexuality goes against the natural order of things. God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. Obviously if he created homosexuals the human race would have died out as soon as it started.
Satan is the one that turns people to homosexuality. He confuses them and leads them astray. God DOESN'T create gays, SATAN DOES. You people have a hard time understanding that and chose to live in the Devils lies!

Marriage is a religious based event. Government should have nothing to do with it. Honestly the government shouldn't recognize ANY marriages. If the government honestly believed in "separation of church and state" they would not issue marriage licenses (but they want the money), etc.
What should happen is that everyone who wants to be listed with the government as having a partnership with another individual gets a civil union. Civil Unions should be what the government acknowledges ONLY, for everyone. No marriage certificates, etc just walk in with another person and sign some paperwork.
Why would a gay person even want to be "married" since most religions don't support homosexuality? Don't try to force religions to accept and marry you. I find it weird that gays say they don't want to be judged and don't believe in religions, yet a lot of them want to be married by the religions that despise them. If gays want equal rights and tax breaks then they should support the change to civil unions for everyone.
It would clear up a lot of confusion and streamline the issue if the government just stepped out of that aspect of people's lives and said everyone has to come in, file a civil union tax form license and then threw out records of marriage licenses. If you were straight and wanted to get married and applied for a marriage license and they denied it for some reason, what gives the government the right to say you can't be married by your religion?
File a civil union with the government and if you belong to a religion and want that religion to marry you then you would go get a marriage license from that church or pastor, etc. The church would have your marriage on file and could upload it into a religious database if you wanted it seen or acknowledged by others. If your belief in your religion is genuine the only one that will matter to you really is your marriage license and church marriage, the government civil union license would simply be to get acknowledgement and monetary advantages from the government.
Get the government out of people's religious lives (but that won't happen since I agree with the other posters that this is all part of a larger global plan to diss any religion that isn't worshipping the elite)

I didn't make it solely about the Protestants.
In my "pharisees" reference I merely mentioned Christians of the fundamentalist type.
My final point simply suggested that fundamentalist Protestants should be as consistent as the fundamentalist Catholics when it comes to facilitating only procreative sex, or none at all.

nah it won't go off into the next galaxy, it will circle back around. There is a reason behind my madness
Just curious, is it your argument that homosexuality is wrong because they can't reproduce? If so, should straight sterile people not marry?

Question. If you eliminate the male or female sex from the equation, could humanity or humans continue to exist or will we cease to exist?
