CONTEMPLATING:
“The majority should never be given the right to decide what’s best for the minority.”

Given by whom?
Withheld by whom?
Enforced by whom?

By the majority, right?

David for the basics

Lol wow doer I never stated you wrote heterosexuals that couldn’t reproduce weren’t married however your flawed argument led to that conclusion “A homosexual relationship cannot scientifically produce children, thus it is not a marriage” again using your definition many heterosexual marriages both those in which persons can not have children from birth or by choice, are not marriages. It was an example of why there is no good logic to bar 2 adults from a union that has no effect on you. But good try.

No “deciding” needed. It’s in the red letters of Jesus.

All I know is when my time is over here on this earth, I pray that I have done what God has put me here to do! Not to judge, criticize or slander but to spread his love, peace and hope for ALL!!! We all know right from wrong. Why fuss about it? God is going to give us the “FINAL ANSWER” Just saying!

You folks who practice this religion, that religion, whatever religion:

This is about equal rights under our Constitution. To try to deny two consenting adults the ability to join and share their lives is none of your business.

To paraphrase, the US Constitution requires Congress to make no law requiring the establishment of a national religion. In case you forgot–that’s one reason settlers came over from England. To escape religious tyranny imposed by the Crown.

Now, you want to impose your own religious tyranny as it pertains to the legal joining of two consenting adults on those who don’t believe as you do.

Ironic, isn’t it?

The Doer sexual intercourse will still allow heterosexual couples an opportunity to create babies and repopulate the species. Just now same sex couples will have legal standing finally. A very good thing for committed couples.

DOER, your fear as stated in the last entry of your last post is unfounded until the law you posted is re-written.
What happens if the law is simply changed to say “a union between two adults, not genetically related” ?
Versus the free for all you imply will happen?

Dear Flomaton:
Obviously you need to spruce up on reading comprehension. The legal definition currently in the state of Florida:
“(3) For purposes of interpreting any state statute or rule, the term ‘marriage’ means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the term ’spouse’ applies only to a member of such a union”; Florida Stat. Ann. ‘ 741.212

No where did I say that heterosexual couples who COULD NOT reproduce were not legally married. I said that sexual intercourse is a distinct difference between heterosexual and homosexual marriages, and that will not change, regardless of what happens with the definition of marriage. I also said ” that marriage has been recognized as a union/bond between a man and a woman which includes sexual intercourse which usually does (not always) lead to pregnancy — thus the continuation of our society. ”

The bottom line is that once we change the definition of marriage (the one we have had for thousands of years), the main difference of sexual intercourse will be lifted. Once that happens, then anything goes. Any type of marriage would HAVE to be recognized.

To Matthew 7:1 I do believe you are mistaken . A Christian can and should judge the sin and the sinner but can not judge with condemnation . That is left to God. To No Excuses To you I say AMEN. So Shan, if the majority says it is ok to molest children that would be ok? That’s basically what you are implying. And to the one who was stating about the procreation pattern it is still between a man and a woman. and if you are divorced and remarried it is still between a man and a woman. Do I agree with being remarried after a divorce, no I don’t, nor does God I will stand for God and what the Bible says no matter if it is popular or not.Jesus taught against political correctness and sin. So you say some don’t believe the bible hat is your right. Just do not expect us that do to change our views for those of you who don’t. The reason being is that we all don’t want what to burn in the eternal lake of fire. Just food for thought. If y’all who don’t believe the bible are right . We have nothing to loose . But we as Christians are right and y’all non believers are wrong y’all have a lot to loose. I personally Will Stand For the Bible.
