| 1297549 | 2012-08-29 01:27:00 | But the whole origin of 'marriage' comes from the church The institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history... en.wikipedia.org The church just hijacked it, and I personally believe the church has no say nor claim on it or anything else, People that go into special buildings to worship fantasy creatures cannot be trusted. That aside, Poofs can come up with their own form of suffering, marriage is ours. |

| 1297550 | 2012-08-29 01:30:00 | But marriage to me is more a religious ceremony than anything, if you don't practice or agree with the religion why would you want to perform their ceremony in the first place? You can declare your partnership to the world without a churches approval or a legal document. . I declared my love and commitment to my wife in front of our friends and family, It was an extremely powerful event and laid the foundation for my life from that point on. God didn't get an invite or a mention, Nor did the signing of the document mean anything. Bear in mind that people have been getting married since the dawn of time and the church has been around for 2000 years. (2000 years to long but hey, crazy people need an outlet) |

| 1297551 | 2012-08-29 02:03:00 | Maybe the Catholic fathers are scared that they may have to marry all the boys that they molest? So the Catholic church is against gay marriage yet there are Catholic priests that have abused boys and the church do nothing about it . As for gay marriage it self, I hope that it gets passed into law . Doesn't matter if there gay, straight or lesbian everybody has the right to marriage . All of the religious nutters that complain about have nothing else better to do than moan . |

| 1297552 | 2012-08-29 02:10:00 | Marriage is and always has been, between a man and a woman. And trains used to be only powered by steam, TVs used to be only black and white... things change. It's not like two men or women getting married is going to cause all people who have 'traditional' marriages to drop dead overnight or anything. |

| 1297553 | 2012-08-29 02:11:00 | Meh! "Same sex marriage" - you will get that married to either gender - the same sex, for as long as you're married.. ;) | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1297554 | 2012-08-29 02:25:00 | this is going to happen whether us supreme intellectuals like it or not. i agree with Agent, things change and it is political pandering for votes. "You - -LIAR! You know what I am going to do about this? Motorpool Guy: what? Fletcher: Nothing! Because if I take it to small claims court, it will just drain 8 hours out of my life and you probably won't show up and even if I got the judgment you'd just stiff me anyway; so what I am going to do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe!

| 1297556 | 2012-08-29 02:32:00 | If gay marriage is unnatural (which doesn't really make sense as marriage itself is man-made), then why are animals engaging in homosexual activity as well? en.wikipedia.org | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 1297558 | 2012-08-29 02:47:00 | However that argument is a double-edged sword, and now we have the gays / lesbians attempting to dictate their concept of marriage which has *traditionally* been one man and one woman to the rest of the world, when there are clearly people who want to be able to differentiate between a traditional marriage and a same-sex marriage it has been suggested an alternative name be created for those who want to identify with a heterosexual marriage. Oh please. it's all a religious argument. What is a marriage? A ceremony where 2 people declare they intent to live with each other forever. Not that it always works out like that. Marriage customs have differed throughout the world and throughout time. So, we're now discussing specifically where 2 people go to a church (and that's changed too) and stand in front of a religious person (and that's changed too), wearing certain types of clothing (and that's changed too) and say some stuff and exchange rings (or not) and sign papers. So what if those 2 people are of the same gender? If you're into the whole pointless (in legal terms) exercise anyway....It's becoming an extinct quaint ritual....why even bother? |
