Supreme Court Strikes Down Defense of Marriage Act as Unconstitutional

[RandyDaytona]

the Catholic Church is one of the largest contributors to charity in the world.

They'd better be, considering how much theft, persecution, and murder they committed throughout their history.

It was all with the best of intentions. Amen.

thumper!..lol, sounds like a nice name/id,
well...wasnt really judging....many christians wallow in ignorance thinking that God is ok with homosexuality.....posted that scripture to show that God is totally against it

for a non christian...i wont impose my religion/way of life on yours:fencing:

There are a lot more verses in the bible (especially the New Testament) pertaining to judgement and living others than condemning gays. We could do this all day, but I feel like I should at least post one quote that we all know:

Luke 6:37

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

Youre welcome to your opinion. Please don't claim to speak for all Christians or have all the answers to what God wants for us. You can say "here is what I think the bible says about it". But no one knows exactly what God wants.....That is "above your pay-grade", as my pastor would say.

But doesn't that mean that 50% of chick's are gay too? Either way, your best bet is your hand....

i thought chicks are lesbians, lol not that knowledgeable in that department.

I understand you're trying to be funny here, but for the rest of us trying to have a serious conversation, how would we procreate to ensure the survivability of the human race under this scenario (assuming 50% of those born are also gay and assuming homosexual couples cannot procreate) with a declining population of the heterosexual, i.e. procreating, population?

lol human race, with the ****ed up shit us "human" managed. it's probably better if we stop reproducing.

Too true, but it certainly isn't the first time someone has tried to disguise their hatred and intolerance behind religion.

it's probably better if we stop reproducing.

It's no doubt becoming a real problem, and at the rate the population is growing it's not going to be a problem we can continue to ignore for much longer; Stop making babies!.

But no one knows exactly what God wants.

I'll expand that to add that God never wrote any books. Sorry, it needed to be said but I didn't come here to stir that pot.

I just wanted to give support to the guys that came out in this thread. It's great to see and I look forward to the day when one's sexual orientation isn't an issue to anyone. To those who find it objectionable please don't have kids of your own or voice your opinions to family and friends because you'll eventually discover they're not all straight bigots as you are.

Way to go SCOTUS!

From Wikipedia, timeline of states/countries who allow gay marriage. As you can see, this is an evolution that isn't slowing down. It's just the right thing to do: to allow your fellow human beings the same rights that you have.

Honest question...how did gays and rainbow get associated with each other?

nobody looks straight with a pair of rainbow underware.

Because we're just happier! :banana: But seriously, from my understanding, one of the LGBT community's mottos is "Celebrate Diversity" & a rainbow represents that.

nghis4, dude, you may play for a different team and you may live in a state that needs to drift off into the sea, but I like the way you think...and once I get a back into a manly vehicle (weird how that is), then I would not mind to wheel with you!

Cheers.

That dude creeps me out! The older he gets the worse it is.

 

[RunninInGA]

Relax....he's just trying to Prancercise.....

Time to wash out the Richard Simmons images out of our heads. I prefer my guy to be more like this.

And to be fair to the rest of you guys..... :zoom:
