I'm a Christian and my religion allows gay marriage. It also allows female leadership and abhors slavery. Your SECT may believe that homosexuality is a sin and doesn't allow women to hold leadership positions but Christianity certainly allows it.


True Christianity follows the Bible and the Bible forbids homosexual marriage. That your church or your "sect" allows it, and still calls itself Christian, is problematic. You have deviated from the word of God.


OMG. Since when does your religion have the monopoly on the truth??? Who the heck are you to think that you are "more Christian" than another? That, my friend, is passing judgement. Maybe your Christ is ok with that, but the true Christians' Chirst is not.


I can read. If you can too, read the Bible. It's all there. That you don't like what it says, I can't help.

Do you eat shellfish? Cut your hair? Wear mixed fibers? Ever thrown around a football?


Please, not that argument again. Yes, I do, but I am not Jewish.

Her wedding will probably be totally boring anyway.

As least you asked . My brother married his husband and only invited gays to his wedding, I bought a dress in anticipation!

Talk about discrimination and our family was supportive!

I would want to go to her wedding and gay it up with my partner. But if she didn't invite your partner I wouldn't bother with her wedding at all.

This is childish and obnoxious. Don't do this.

Problematic for whom? And, why would it be problematic? Does it diminish your faith?

Don't go to her wedding. If it was me, if probably drop her from my life.

It's not OP's "love" the cousin is disputing. It's the marriage. Big difference.



No there isn't. The cousin is saying that her love is worthy of being sanctioned by God and the state, while the OP's isn't. Really, these people aren't Christians; that's a religion of love. People like the OP's cousin are about control, judgment, and exclusion. They feel superior by deciding that certain types of people are inferior.


And how, exactly, do you know how these people "feel?" Are you now in charge of their feelings, too, along with their thoughts and their word choice that is acceptable?

Christianity may be -- and is -- a religion of love, but it is also a religion that commands adherence to the Word of God. That Word is very clear that gay marriage is a sin.

I think you should not go to her wedding and send a card that says you wish her the best but no gift.
