well i believe in rights for all. i think even it is supposedly anti-hindu for gay marriage. but i truly dont believe everything religion says. I guess I'm for gay marriage because it doesnt hurt anyone else in any way, so why ban something not harmful?

WOW. I had to re-read what I said. And WOW I feel differently now.

The Bible clearly states, "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" (Genesis 1:27-28), and "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Clearly there is no place in God’s plan for homosexual marriage, and it will doom this country to God’s judgment should we continue to flout His law in such an important matter. Marriage between one man and one woman has been the foundation of stable society for centuries, and we as a nation cannot afford to erode any further foundations of the country.

The bible states that in the English translation, which is actually VERY different from the original version of the bible.

I'm VERY happy they chose not to amend the constitution. WAY TO GO SENATE! <3

I agree. In the end of the day, marriage is about love and the committment you want to share and that doesnt matter what sex you are.

I should ask my friend's dad because his friend read the entire bible in its original form and it is entirely different from the modern translations.

Marriage between one man and one woman has been the foundation of stable society for centuries, and we as a nation cannot afford to erode any further foundations of the country.

God also gave the human race the choice to believe in Him, follow Him, or not. God does not force people to believe. He allows them to. Thus we have people who believe in Him and follow the ways of the Bible, and we have people who don't.

What was written in the Bible is therefore meant only for those who chose to follow it. Saying it is for the good of all mankind that gay marriages should be barred is a complete contradiction to God's will to give mankind the choice to follow His ways. There is no choice when you make their decisions for them, now is there?

Furthermore you saying gay marriages is a threat to the foundation of your country is pure speculation. I on the other hand have been living in a country where it has been legal for quite some years, as my long ass post on the previous page clearly explained, and I also made the point that our foundation is as strong as ever, and nothing bad has happened whatsoever.

Therefore I challenge your statements to be based on pure fear. Fear which is a human emotion. It is humans who fear gay marriages to be accepted in society, and they use God as an excuse is my conclusion. Please convince me otherwise by defeating all the points I have made in this thread, as I've been looking for someone who would challenge my statements ever since I spoke out in this thread, heh.
