I am sure that with the way this country is heading that it will be the course if God allows this country to survive that long. I personally don't think the Lord is going to keep staying back and allowing us to run free as we please. He is going to start to dish out some punishment. I pray for this country and it's leaders. It's going to be a hard fall.

 

LOL Bring it on:fire:

Again, I just love how the left label people because they disagree with a lifestyle that's wrong to them. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

It's similar to when the right label people who believe in abortion as "baby killers". :lol:

Romans 1:27

 

1st Corinthians 6:9

 

Genesis 19

 

You look them up. and what do they have in common? SIN.

Gay marriage is coming to a state near you. It's still gonna be a struggle because the homophobic, gay-haters are gonna resist but the right thing will win out in the end. Much progress has been made in civil rights, much to the chagrin of right-wing, rednecks. I know it steams you to see gay people like DeGeneres applauded and praised. Let me promise you, there will come a day, when you will see gay folk walking down the streets hand in hand in every small town in this country. And the vast majority of people will not even blink. Better get used to it or find another planet. Homophobes,gay-haters, hypocrites...You are quickly becoming a minority . Deal with or find another planet to spread your gay-bashing bigotry!

 

While I am not of the gay persuasion, I do have good friends as well as family who is gay. Many of the pathetic individuals who hate people because of sexual orientation are the same sad souls who would have lynched black people back in the sixties(and probably today if they could get away with it). Fortunately, we have come along way in four decades and we are moving towards a day when the gay lifestyle will be as accepted as any other, just as it should be. I would say within the next 5 years, you will see legalized gay marriage in most every state. I look forward to the day when my sister can take the same step that Ellen and others will soon take. And thanks to the recent Cali ruling and a more accepting America(rednecks and religious zealots aside), that day will soon be here.

 

That won't even happen in either your or my lifetime and maybe not our children's.

Magic Mathe, ever heard of the "Bible Belt States?

There are some states that will never support gay marriage...

Because certain factions American people are some of the stupidest on the face of the Earth. They are blinded by their religious zeal, in much the same way that Muslim extremists are. But , yes, you are right on with your comment!

 

The thing is, if you are right, and this is all just religious zeal and all of this "religious" stuff doesn't matter, then we were just conservative people.

 

However, if we religious nuts are right, and gay marriages (and abortion) are a let down on the part of man, then the ones upholding opposing views will be condemned.

 

When it's all said and done, we're a winner either way. You have a 50/50 chance.

Well said my friend, very well said.

"an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation,"

 

Maybe not, but it's really important at the conception........

 

Adoption, artificial insemination, host mothers...

 

This can be accomplished by the means you listed, but what about the problems the children may face.

 

For instance, the life expectancy of a gay male is 35 years old. Some kids are going to lose their "parents" before they are an adult. What about the scrutiny the kid is going to face at school because, not only are they fatherless, they have two moms.

 

I think by allowing gay couples to have children, we are setting the children up for a hard life. It isn't hurting the adults, it is hurting the kids.

Where did you see that the average life expectancy of a gay male is 35 years old? I do not believe that is true.

It does not matter whether a child is raised by a homosexual or heterosexual couple. All that matters is that the family is a loving and nurturing family.

Well said my friend, very well said.

oldrambler ..... Me , you, AlabamaLarry, and a few others need to get together and have a good ole' fashioned prayer session for this country and it's leaders. The WORD tells us that the prayers of the righteousness availeth much. This world needs some availing. :lol::lol::lol: Have a great Lord's Day brother.

I agree, but the fact remains that the children raised by a homosexual couple will face hardships not seen by children raised by a heterosexual couple. The same holds true with racially mixed couples. It's a sad situation but it's out there.

Being a political conservative doesn't make you a nut in my book. If you are blinded by religious zeal in the way that Muslim extremists or Christian fundamentalists(Phelps, etal ) are, then yes, you are a nut.

It would seem that anyone who is any farther to the right then you, is a religious nut to you....

What is really funny about the ban being overturned is that some of the judges voting it down were appointed by Conservative Republicans. Politicians have no control over this matter and only use it to get votes. If you believe in gay rights, think about all the innocent people who have died of AIDS. If you are Pro Choice, think of all the innocent children who never had the chance to live and breath like you and I.
