10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Ten Reasons Against Gay Marriage

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around with tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around for a long time; and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property; blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears’ 55 hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children; Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion; In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we only have one religion in America.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and female role model at home. That’s why we as a society strictly forbid single parents to raise children.
10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

This was an abomination. You spelled Britney Spears wrong.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

spelling Britney Spears wrong is an abomination?

*nods*

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

I only have one reason against Gay marriage.
It is an abomination in God's eyes and that is enough for me.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

It is my understanding of the Bible that living the homosexual lifestyle is a sin. I choose not to live that way. However, is it right to force everyone else to live by my religious beliefs?

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

"Gay Marriage" isn't really about equal rights. It's about forcing the government and in a deluded round about way, society, to accept Homosexuality.

I remember when they started marrying gays in California the news interviewed one gay person who said something to the effect that Californians accepted their lifestyle...but it was really a liberal appeals court that paved the way for gay marriage when MOST californians voted against it

BTW gays can already get married in religious ceremonies. And they can already have civil unions in California with the same rights.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Oh my word!!!

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Good questions. :thumbsup


Think I'll add my 2 cents worth of questions...

Is it RIGHT that we accept that which the Word of God is against, just so we can appear to be politically correct?

Is God pleased with this?

Certainly God is NOT pleased, any more than He was when Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom.

There is never, ever any excuse for not being kind and trying to win the lost, but "at any cost" should never, ever be at the expense of biblical truth.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Exactly right......that's the only reason needed! :nod

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Stone em I say!

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

We are not longer living under Old Tesatment rule, so no need for us to pick up stones.
God is a just and righteous God and he will give the right punishement.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Amen.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

It is a requirement that we stand for the full Truth. It is a fact that the homosexual community encourages children to experiment with homosexuality (conversion). They also seek to promote its acceptance and celebration in our modern culture. This they have done by steadily infiltrating various media. They have been involved in theater, acting, and prostitution for thousands of years, however, they are now taking control of the schools, judiciary, and business.

We must continue to proclaim the Truth with love and grace, while never compromising the Word. We may not accept their lifestyle as anything less than sinful. However, we should not teach against it only, but also against all deception, fornication, adultery, lying, murder, hatred, drunkeness and intoxication, and all of the other works of the flesh. Many homosexuals are involved in one or more of these sins as well. Thus, we must deal with the whole matter, and not just the one individual sin. The whole heart is wicked and vile in the sight of God, and this must be proclaimed.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Looks like something I'd post! :lol

But, of course, the real reason same sex marriage should not be legal:

4. What’s the harm from SSM? “How can Adam and Steve hurt your marriage?”

A: “Who gets harmed? The people of this state who lose our right to define marriage as the union of husband and wife, that’s who. That is just not right.”

Yes. If some people can't define marriage the way they want, it harms them. :thumbsup

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Sam seems to me you posted ten reasons to support gay marriages.

If you support what ia an abomination to God then you can't call yourself a Christian. God does not support gay rights. God did not make people gay!

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Frankly, this entire debate could be resolved if the GOVERNMENT got OUT of the marriage business. The GOVERNEMNT doesn't define marriage. Frankly, the fact that I have to go to the GOVERNMENT and receive a LICENSE (which I pay the government for) to get married is sickening to me. It's NONE of the GOVERNMENT'S business who I wish to marry, why I wish to marry, or that I have even married. Marriage is a PRIVATE agreement between individuals to cohabitate and share physical intimacy. For nearly 1,500 years the church recognized, and blessed, a marriage even if the two people only agreed to be husband and wife out behind a haystack and told two witnesses that they were married. GOVERNMENT began to set it's sights on marriage through royal decrees when royalty began having illegitimate children in order to secure inheritance. Next we see the marriage license being instituted in the United States to prevent blacks and whites from marrying. And now today every couple that wants to be married has to grovel at the feet of the GOVERNMENT and pay for a license as though the GOVERNMENT is the arbitrator all that is holy. And since our tax dollars fund the government groups have the power to SWAY the GOVERNMENT to redefine marriage and divorce. Marriage has been redefined already by the constant revision of divorce law. The stipulations of marriage that existed 20 years ago don't exist today because of divorce law. For example, today we have "no fault divorce". That cheapened marriage more than gays wanting to live together and call it a "marriage". Then we have issues of RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES. Not all religions or churches denounce gay marriages. I know an Episcopal priest who travels outside of the country to unite gay couples because the GOVERNMENT will not allow him to practice his religion (which is far too liberal for my tastes) here in the "land of the free". My vote is that we PRIVATIZE MARRIAGE. Get GOVERNMENT out of it and allow individuals to establish a private contract that establishes a civil union between adults. As far as I'm your tennic coach should be able to marry you if you want them to. Then it's a PRIVATE issue and if we don't like it as churches, we don't have to acknowledge it as ligit... just like those churches that don't recognize second marriages. What really gets to me is how liberals want to expand the GOVERNMENT'S power to redefine marriage and conservatives want to use the police force of GOVERNMENT to maintain their definition of marriage. Common theme here... both are worshiping at the altar of GOVERNMENT, groveling for the GOVERNMENT to either protect the current definition of marriage or expand the current definition of marriage. Frankly, it's none of the GOVERNMENT'S business.

Let's get the GOVERNENT'S grimey paws off of this because it's only dividing the nation and increasing the GOVERNMENT'S power over perhaps the most sacred private instititution on earth... marriage.

Give us liberty!

Maybe he puts pebbles in his cartridges?

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

We are content right where we are.

You know how when you first walk into a dark room, you can't see or make your way around and it scares you move around the room, it takes a little while for your eyes to adjust. But after a little time, your eyes adjust and you can see better. Then things are ok, you can move around the room safely, see things a little better, your more comfortable.

This is how we have become, we have adjusted to the dark.

I remember when I was a kid and the pastor would preach about 666 and the end times and how time was running out. It used to send chills down my spine, people who had been walking the fence would be at the alters.

Today? Don't even phase us. All the changes in the world don't matter anymore. We just tell our pastor "Hey, thats just the way things are in todays world". Instead of attempting to turn the light on or leave the room, we have chosen to become adjusted to the dark. We are comfortable here.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Would you change the tax laws so that everyone is taxed at the same rate regardless of marital status?

What would you do about inheritance laws?

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Yes.

That should be stipulated in the marriage contract and upheld as any other private contract.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Thanks.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Man+Woman=Children; Marriage belongs right here, period.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Are voluntarily childless married couples as sinful as gays?

Should infertile couples be prohibited from marrying?

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Yes

No marriage credit (or penalty). NO child earned income tax credits either or deductions in general. Flat tax all the way.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Most married couples want children.

Infertile couples can adopt. My parents were infertile, so they adopted me and my adopted sister.

Neither of your examples justify gay marriage. Man+Woman=Children; let nature teach the student.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Well, WE can't have any kids (by my/our choice).

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Still doesn't justify Gay Marriage. Nothing replaces the balance of Male and Female.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Although I understand what your saying the flip side to this is the simple fact that we as humans are emotional beings and emotions need a lot of work to be maintained -and are never a good reason to do something. I remember powerful sermons about the end times, mark of the beast, and hell as well, causing huge numbers of people to flood the alters, but only for a while. At some point a person has to do things for intellectual reasons, and not emotional ones because emotions fade but one plus one will always equal two.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Your arguments don't, IMO, justify prohibiting it.

"Most married couples want children."

I asked about those who don't want children. You didn't answer. Should they be prohibited from marrying?

"Infertile couples can adopt."

Gay couples can adopt.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Exactly!

1+1=2

Man+Woman=Children; where marriage belongs.

When emotion is gone, the truth is seen, clearly.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Different scenarios. Man+Woman<sometimes equals> children.
(But not in my own personal case)

Drunken frat boy+drunken slut<often equals)children as well.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Absolutely not; the decision is up to the couple. If a couple decides to not have any children, this in no way justifies 2 people of the same sex getting married.

The Lawsuits will be piling up. When children grow up in homes where they were adopted by Gay Couples, when they are old enough to ponder what happened to them as a baby, they will be looking for an Attorney. We have enough problems with children going to homes where there are Male and Female Couples.

Remember, I was adopted and know exactly what questions arise when adopted children become adults.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Uh, so where did you come from?

My mother was 15 when she became pregnant (out of wedlock) with me. My father, who had just robbed a bank, was fleeing the State of California with my mother in the car. A State road block halted the car and my father was taken to jail, after they unloaded their guns on my fathers car.

None of this changes; Man+Woman=Children. Marriage belongs right here, period.

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

Do any of you believe that the GOVERNMENT should dissolve second marriages?

At least half of Christendom would condemn second marriages as unholy adulterous relationships... while the other half would primarily want to know the "grounds for divorce" to determine how many of those they are willing to view as adulterous and unholy relationships.

Or do you feel that in a free country individuals should be able to marry regardless of a religious body's interpretation of marriage?

Re: 10 Reasons Against Gay Marriage
 

As tax paying citizens, how would we feel if the GOVERNMENT slid the cold barrel of it's police power down our noses and told us who we could or could not marry?
