Should homosexuals have the right to get married?

[Mr impossible]

What do you think?
Should they or shouldn't they?
I'm not going to vote on this poll because I don't want to influence the numbers. Anyways what I think is that homosexuals should get married in order to truly have a 100% democratic nation. I'm not gay or anything. Other nations in the world prison or even kill gay people......

Maybe we should let gay people get married when they are truly accepted into the normal society.
I respect any one's decision. AND REMEMBER I DID NOT VOTE ON THIS POLL!!!

I think of marriage as a club. If the leader of the club doesn't want you in, start your own.


It's not my decision.

This is sort of a loaded question - I don't want the government involved in the marriage business at all.
That said, I don't see why a marriage between two members of the same sex is any different from two members of opposite sexes.

I definitely believe that gays should have the right to marry, but unfortunately the very definition of marriage was derived from the bible as a holy sacrament, and so it is generally the experts on the Bible who decide whether or not gays may practice that holy sacrament. I am not religious at all, but it is their turf.

If they are denied the right to marry, we should have a civil union created with all the same benefits as marriage.

Well, who are they to say? Telling people that they can't be married due to their sexual prefrences is just as bad. It's discrimination. And, those fools who actually believe in the bible/God, believe that all of your sins can be forgiven if you ask god to be a part of you, and to help you and stuff.

He is saying that marriages are a religious concept and that the church has every right to deny them marriage.
But since in the US being married gives the couple certain benefits, it is unfair for the state to say who can and cannot be married.

The country was founded on the basis of religion. Even though we separate church from state it still has a powerful influence on our nation. "In God we trust," "One nation under God." Just a couple examples.

With that being said, the nation was also founded on the bible.

The bible says homosexuality is wrong.

Which brings us back to square one.

The nation, God, and the bible are all directly related. So is homosexuality.

I personally do not like any sort of homosexuality. In fact, I am VERY homophobic. I voted no, they should not be able to get married, its against the bible, which in turn is against the founding principals.

Yes, we should enforce everything that the bible tells us. We should not only forbid gay marriage, but we should also

- stone all homosexuals
- stone all disobedient children
- stone a women if she is not a virgin on her wedding night
- allow slavery; and make sure that the slaves are obedient to their masters

EDIT:
Oh, I forgot my favorite one! We must kill every person that does any work on Sunday.

We also came over here, took land from the indians without permission, killed everyone in our path.
Also, the witch trials.
Lets do it again!

If homosexuality marriage is legal, I'm still waiting on marrying my kitty cat.

You can't have consent from your cat.

We have freedom of religion am I right?

Relgion plays into nothing the government does, it is only the opinion of the state legislature that holds it back.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by fifty of the Member States of the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, with eight abstentions, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France defines freedom of religion and belief as follows: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance."

Writtin by Jefferson Davis

"[N]o man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities."

Read that last part.

No, it wasn't.
Many of the founding fathers were explicitly anti-religious. And the In God We Trust stuff was added in the late 1800s on coins and the 1950s on bills.
It is absolutely nowhere in the Constitution that this is a Christian nation.

If I may quote our founding fathers:

"God is an essence that we know nothing of. Until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there will never be any liberal science in the world."

"Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by the difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be depreciated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society." -- letter to Edward Newenham, 1792

"In the affairs of the world, men are saved, not by faith, but by the lack of it."

"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." - letter to Wm. Bradford, April 1, 1774


"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology."


“Christianity is the most perverted system ever shone to man.”

"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.”

The bible says homosexuality is wrong.

Yeah. It also says a lot of other weird stuff.

I personally do not like any sort of homosexuality. In fact, I am VERY homophobic. I voted no, they should not be able to get married, its against the bible, which in turn is against the founding principals.

Why are you homophobic? Does it really bother you that two people of the same sex love each other?

Who says that, Me and my cat have loved each other for years, I have rights too, why do you have the right to stop how I live my personal life.

 

[ssylass]

Once your cat can physically tell me that it wants to be married to you (by means of talking) then you can get married to it.
That would be like me saying well, im going to marry Obama's daughter with no consent.

are you religious?

 

[TJ]

im atheist.

Why do you believe homosexuality is wrong?

 

[Rhett3]

I think marriage is something between a man and a woman so therefore I only think marriage should be for them...

However for gay people maybe they could create their own sort of thing for just them. I don't see why they don't do that and call it something else but have it basically be the same thing. ^_^

 

[asdfgasda]

No. I'm sorry but marriage is a sacred thing. If you want to be gay, go ahead. But marriage is between a Man and a Woman. Not a man and a man, or a female and a female. That's not what it was attended to be.
