And YOU people are still lingering on threads just to troll.
Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean you have to hate-monger on people who do.
Yet Christians are condemned for their disagreements with gays.
I guess discrimination is okay if done by Atheists, right?
Disgusting.
Wait wait wait, please quote me saying "I hate people who believe in god", never did I say that.
I do believe in GOD, which is this planet. Giving me direct contact to the creator.
Discrimination is never okay no matter who it is done by, again i have not discriminated against anyone here, if you believe I did, then quote me.
Second of all, Christianity is based on a fairy tale, can someone please answer me why we don't recognise that as insanity?

You're referring to Christianity--and ANY belief in God that isn't "God is the earth" (pagan) as a fairy tale. That would be discrimination. And an uncalled-for mockery.
You have no more proof that Christianity, and other people's belief in God, is wrong than they have that yours is wrong. Your post was a baseless hate monger.

I would say that a lot of people who are anti gay marriage or anti gay, are in fact themselves gay. Whether they know it or not is a different subject.
Good question, and good luck when the god squad arrive.
That's certainly an interesting perspective. What sources can you provide to back this claim up though?
It's just something I've noticed through life in general. I know a lot of gay people, and a good handful of them are over 60.
It's just my opinion of course.

(I was only making believe I'm from the Midwest and for the record I'm not afraid of gay marriage)
all I did is ask why in this society, believing a fairy tale,

The scary part is that homosexuality will become accepted as 'normal' by society. The erosion of traditional values is threatening for many. Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, to accept gay marriage, is to accept the 'sin' and bring down the wrath of God. I am guessing that is another scary part.

Well I agree entirely, calling it marriage is stupid, not calling it marriage to me is also stupid, but whatever works.

I don’t have a problem with gay people, but I DO have a problem with gay people making out, kissing, etc., in public. That stuff needs to stay in the closet and/or bedroom. I use to do stuff like that when I was a teenager, but then I realized there was a time and place for it! When I was a kid, I thought it was COOL to do so! I don’t care if you’re trying to make a point, but doing crap like that in public is childish and immature. Grow-up!

Just for the record, Gaia the Earth Goddess whom I presume the other poster was referring to really is a mythological creature, whereas at least Jesus is historically considered a real person. It is too bad the secular humanists and the far left felt a need to portray him as nonexistent to promote their ideology. Gaia is being used right now to promote Agenda 21, and the far left's need to control people via a fear-mongering idea that the Earth goddess is going to get angry at the humans.
Shall we continue with story time?

Nooooo...calling it a marriage then lets them reap the fruit of all the laws and practices on the books that use the word "marriage" in the legal documents. That's why they don't want to call it a "civil union". Because then, they'd have to fight for each individual right and benefit that those other "married" people get. They'd have to prove, in each instance, why they are entitled to each of the benefits straight married couples enjoy.
They don't want to do this work. Those benefits have been accumulating for centuries, and they don't want to wait centuries to accumulate their own benefits. They want it now.
The whole purpose of the gay movement is "to steal" the word "marriage" and to benefit from the special considerations that have been established for straight couples who bear and raise children.
They want the icing on the cake, without the labor that baking that cake required.
It's theft of rewards, earned by others who sacrificed to get them.
They want to "reap" the harvest, without having sown any seed. !!!

Wow, your really pushing buttons here dude.
Jesus isn't considered to be a real person historically, because there isn't an once of evidence ANYWHERE to even point into the direction. Jesus Historically is considered as a Character in a FAIRY TALE, what is so hard to understand about that?
"We do know some things about the historical Jesus — less than some Christians think, but more than some skeptics think. Though a few books have recently argued that Jesus never existed, the evidence that he did is persuasive to the vast majority of scholars, whether Christian or non-Christian," said Marcus Borg, a retired professor of religion and culture at Oregon State University and current fellow of the Jesus Seminar, a group of preeminent academics that debate the factuality of Jesus' life as portrayed in the Bible.
The following "facts" about Jesus would be affirmed by most history scholars, Borg said:
Jesus was born sometime just before 4 B.C. He grew up in Nazareth, a small village in Galilee, as part of the peasant class. Jesus' father was a carpenter and he became one, too, meaning that they had likely lost their agricultural land at some point.
• Jesus was raised Jewish and he remained deeply Jewish all of his life. His intention was not to create a new religion. Rather, he saw himself as doing something within Judaism.
• He left Nazareth as an adult, met the prophet John and was baptized by John. During his baptism, Jesus likely experienced some sort of divine vision.
• Shortly afterwards, Jesus began his public preaching with the message that the world could be transformed into a "Kingdom of God."
• He became a noted healer, teacher and prophet. More healing stories are told about Jesus than about any other figure in the Jewish tradition.
• He was executed by Roman imperial authority.
• His followers experienced him after his death. It is clear that they had visions of Jesus as they had known him during his historical life. Only after his death did they declare Jesus to be "Lord" or "the Son of God."
"Historically, Jesus was executed by the authorities — Roman imperial authority in collaboration with high-ranking priestly authority. Historically he did not 'die for the sins of the world,' but he was killed by the powers that ruled his world," Borg said.
So, again, I ask: What is so scary about gay marriage?

You read and then imagine something else? because that's the vibe I am getting... all I did is ask why in this society, believing a fairy tale, and making it out to be some sort of fact isn't considered insanity? Because all of these ridiculous claims about gay's being sinners is based on a fairy tale.
Plus I still don't see how it's discriminating, people can believe what ever they want to believe. You just assumed that I don't believe in GOD, which has multiple meanings, such as the person that controls food and goods/ a creator of life/ or a man sitting up in the clouds on a nice comfy chair.
Just because I said I can actually see, taste and feel my GOD and communicate with my GOD (the mother earth), how is that discriminating?
Also, if you cannot see, touch, smell or talk to your GOD, that is enough evidence to show me it's all made up, just saying, not hating on anyone.

I'm not a dude, for the record. Oh did I push a button that made you upset? Please forgive me. But didn't you call the earth your god? Well, earth is classically, even in pagan religion called "Mother earth", or goddess, and if you even understood any pagan religion you would understand that the earth is a physical manifestation of the "mother energy" or as the Hindus call it, Shakti the feminine aspect of creation.
So sorry to have upset you so. It is true that the goddess Gaia has been used by environmentalists in UN Agenda 21 as they took James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis to heart and use Gaia as part of their religion of environmentalism.
So sorry if I offended you.
