[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you, 15:15. Sadly, not agreeing with homosexuality equals being a bigot and/or hate-filled. It's a very juvenile argument, but it works for some.  :?

I, too, am against gay marriage, but would be in full support of a civil law that grants same-sex couples full rights under federal and state law. Of course, as this country stands, allowing gay marriage seems like the easiest way to grant gays their rights, so if taken to a vote, I would support gay marriage.

Though I have certain beliefs, I would not want those beliefs to trample on the liberty and happiness of others. [/quote]

So all of this quibbling is about the use of the word "marriage," but you think gays should be afforded the same federal and state rights as married heterosexuals?

In a nutshell, yes.

I believe that marriage is a religious ceremony that forms a union before God (or that person's "God").
Civil unions are for those who are non-believers and/or those forming a union outside of "the church". [/quote]

So now all of us who don't get married in a church, have a civil ceremony, and pretty much are atheists (or Jews or Muslims or Buddists) now don't get to be married either?  Because you believe that the word "marriage" is a "religious ceremony"??

I'm sorry, but please go check out a dictionary before you post such nonsense.  Marriage isn't defined by the Christian church.

What the Flock are you talking about? Where do I say that marriage is for Christians only? You take offense at my calling marriage a religious ceremony, yet you seem to conclude that this excludes Jews, Muslims and Buddhists. Last time I checked, those were religions.   Looks like you should be the one checking the dictionary. Or, at the very least, some reading comprehension courses. [/quote]
