Peregrine Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Note to Malchik: Yes, we do know what God thinks, It's called the Bible, get one from your local library or something. End of dicussion (unless you want to PM) Ah, I like your arrogance in assuming that "god" can only mean your god (even narrower than assuming the christian god, as some churches approve of same-sex marriage). And are you aware that the passages that supposedly express god's view of the subject are open to interpretation because of translation issues? As well as the bible being written by human authors, who were influenced by the society they existed in? And in any case, it's completely irrelevant. The constitution says god's opinion has no place in our laws, so you are in direct defiance of one of the founding principles of this nation. By any objective standard, these new marriage laws would be completely unconstitutional. It's only the defiance of the law by people like you that allows them to pass."As has already been pointed out, not all animals need male and female." - WhiteWolf What in the world do you mean by that. That is biologically impossible! Obviously he meant "organisms" not "animals", a pretty obvious typo. If you still believe it's impossible, I suggest you research the asexual reproduction used by some organisms. This is well-documented fact, asexual reproduction exists.

Akrid Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 "As has already been pointed out, not all animals need male and female." - WhiteWolf What in the world do you mean by that. That is biologically impossible! Not just orginisms, slugs are both male and female thus bisexual, transexual and they are animals. they reproduse by chewing off eachothers genitals or somthing, saw it on the discovery channel. Though thats a bad exsample for how we should act, lol. Anyway it just proves that "god" dosnt have some homophobe plan for the world if god did indeed exist.

Asexual reproduction is more common in plants or micro-organisms, but it does also happen in some animals. For example, the Hydra, which lives in freshwater ponds and streams, simply grows a bud out it's side, which increases in size, grows tentacles, then eventually breaks off.

For God has "purchased me". The Bible was written by human authors, but influenced by God, not the world. Once you read the bible ALL the way through, you will understand this. PM me if you need any help *serious , not sarcastically* Romans 1:27 "And likewise men, leaving the NATURAL use of a woman, burned in their lust toward one another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and recieving recompence of their error which was meet" You can't really expect me to believe that that is hard to understand due to "translation" can you?

Peregrine Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 1) It is a question open to interpretation. Plenty of people believe just as sincerely in the same god that you do, and just as sincerely believe that marriage between two men or two women would be just fine. And I've seen it claimed by those same people that the parts of the bible you refer to are a product of translation errors from the original ancient languages. 2) The bible states that countless other things are just as sinful, eating the wrong fish for example. If it was truly about following god's orders, and not just using the bible to justify peoples' biases, we would see them making an issue over all those other things. But why don't they? Why don't we see demands to ban fish as well, since god hates them just as much as homosexuality? 3) The 1st amendment bans government support of religion. Therefore it is completely irrelevant what the bible, god, or any other religious source has to say on the issue. You (and everyone else who agrees with you) are acting in defiance of the law, and putting your own narrow-minded "morals" above the constitution's clear demands. The law is "separation of church and state", not "separation of all-other-churches and state." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 This doesn't prevent people from trying to get laws passed, though. It only gives an effective way of getting them overturned/stuck in congress. And it also doesn't do anything about people who use some other guise for their agenda.
