Gay Marriage

[Dougs Third Go]

the Uk's first same sex marriage happens this w/end, so, your thought's? no homophobic, gay bashing posts please. Just opinions on whether it's what we deem as "marriage" or is marriage a contract to procreate, a very very very grey area.

Well, being a Christian I have some very strong views in this but following the biblical injunction for a "man to leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one," speaks volumes.

I'm not going to go all religious on you all but the bible states-
'Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh so they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.'

I'm actually agnostic Geoff, not atheist by any means, just with so many cultures/beliefs/dieties/icons flying around in this cosmopolitan society, therefore I refuse to pigeonhole myself as I see doctrination and indoctrination in all religions. To my thinking it's all fair in love and war, love who you love, swear your love, keep your fidelity, and when you've drawn your final breath and if there is a god, let him sort it out.

All I would say on religion is that if you are told something many times over you start to believe it. There's the Bible, the Quran, and the Mr Men books, and I'm more inclined to believe that Mr Tickle exists!!!

Adam and eve not adam and steve, not religious at all. I don't think it should happen.

Why the push for "equality"?
Girls have to be equal to boys. Women have to be equal to men. Homosexuals have to be equal to Heterosexuals.
We're different. Brilliant and awful in different ways -all of us.
The push for "equality" has undermined the family unit and it is starting on society as a whole now.
Think about the real meaning of equality...

"Marriage predates recorded history" this is what's called a logic fallacy. Because if marriage predated recorded history then how could anyone know about it if it's not recorded.

God invented marriage with Adam and Eve to become one flesh and was recorded in the book of Genesis. Surely it is down to the church to set these rules giving the gay community no right to get married?

i
I don't think the church will/are conducting gay marriages Cam, so really same as getting married at a register office (as me and my wife were, my local bigot vicar refused to marry us in my parish chursh as my wife was a divorcee,,,ohhhh the shame!!)

I think it's all a load of bull, i don't like the idea of it and find the whole thing uncomfortable, but then i am not gay so how else would i be expected to feel? I can't pretend that i am one of these new world liberal minded people that can see nothing wrong in anything but I haven't really given it any thought to be honest. They are gay, they are gay, so what. What does annoy me is always having this stories in front of me (i know it needs to be done) by the media!! whether they are trying to get me to agree with it or get me to disagree with it i find it boring, uninteresting and i am more than capable of making my own mind up. Get married, have a great day and be happy, either way i am more concerned about my next tile cutter purchase, Rubi or Sigma?????
