That was very ignorant to say the 9/11 incident happened because God wanted to send us a “message”. A country fighting for there country sending a plane into the towers of there antagonist home has nothing to do with God wills but more with fighting for hatred. Do not blame the Gay for our actions and others.

Old bible-god must be the craziest deity ever. He’s insecure, jealous, has extreme anger issues, tries to coerce everyone with threats of eternal torture into loving him, and is obsessed with gays and foreskins.

Gay marriage is a threat to traditional marriage. Christian marriage has long been held as the glue which holds family and communities together. Children need to be raised in a family with a mother and a father of good Christian values. Thus, I believe, that there should be a constitutional amendment that states, “Marriage is defined as the union of one white Christian man to one white Christian woman”. Further, since the other threats to marriage are divorce and death, both should also be outlawed. We need to put the “lock” in wedlock. You married each other and that is forever. Next, since children need both a mother and father, all children born outside of wedlock or those who have just one parent (for whatever reason) should be taken from their single parent and given to a good Christian family. I am sure, as a Christian, that this is covered in the Bible somewhere. Probably next to the quote about killing a son who disobeys their father…..

“We see this as a pivotal issue to life, not just for our nation but the life we have known for 3,000 years,” said Tom Parrish, administrative pastor of Hope Lutheran Church. Parrish represents Hope Lutheran Church, whose senior pastor, Tom Brock, raised some eyebrows in 2003 when he insisted the 9/11 attacks were God’s wake-up call.

“That’s a lifestyle that God says is sinful,” Brock said of homosexuality in 2003.

one more comment… interesting that he (and NO other religious leader) didn’t notice the absence of the intervention of God with the Catholic church’s decades of sexual abuse… but 9/11 was an indicator that God thinks homosexuality is sinful?

I guess God was okay with the pedophiles in the church huh? I mean, no planes flew into buildings or anything… so it must’ve been okay.

Strange isn’t it that government does not control church baptisms, church confirmations or church Sunday school – so why is it “marriage” is government controlled?

I think perhaps “marriage” should be taken from the clutches of “government” and left to be administered by the “church”.

Make sense? I sure think so.

Bruce, agreed… what you’re talking about are Civil Unions.

however, when they’re created (with marriage left as a church ceremony)… the religious right screams “its still marriage! they’re just calling it something different!”

even if it were two separate things entirely with the same rights, they’d scream we were undermining marriage.

what it comes down to is that the ‘ick factor’ seems to be a good enough reason to deny a certain part of the population the same rights that everyone else has… it isn’t about marriage at all.

Eric, you forgot one…

5. the entire Bible belt will be forced to endure reruns of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy until their fashion sense and hygeine improves enough to be deemed ‘acceptable’ by the American Gay Council For Fabulousness.

“If everyone is a gay, this world will cease to exist in 10 years,” said Ikram ul-Huq, the imam and religious director of the Muslim Community Center of Bloomington.

so, in essence, this person is stating that if gays have the right to marry… everyone will “become” gay? huh? so marriage is the only thing stopping this person from being gey eh? sounds like they’ve got issues of their own that have NOTHING to do with the LGBT community.

seriously, even if you believed gay people aren’t born gay (which I personally know I was)… if you think of it along the lines of religion, which IS a choice, why are there more religions than one? seriously, if its a choice (their belief, not mine)… why do they think everyone would choose to be gay?

funny, to believe that God (whichever religion you choose to believe in) created us ALL in his image (gays and straight alike), in their perspective would assume God to be flawed… which would mean their judging God. Who are they to judge God’s plan? isn’t that the height of egotism?… and a sin?
