Homosexual Marriage

"Again, Gehenna would still require god to hate homosexuals, which he doesn't. People just have selective hearing and reading when it comes to religion." No, Gehenna would not imply that G-d hates homosexuals, it would imply that they lived a sinful life and receive punishment as a result. You should really read your Torah before starting a debate on the topic. There is a few verses from the Torah on this matter, Ezekiel 18:21-23: "But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. 22 None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?" "As for us violating terms and use, definitions change, and overall, everything changes. The actual, modern, definition is: "the legally or formally recognized union of a man and a woman (or, in some jurisdictions, two people of the same sex) as partners in a relationship." It doesn"t matter what the dictionary companies decided was the definition of marriage, the real definition of marriage that has always been the definition of marriage, in Native American Culture, Jewish Culture, Bushmen, Aborigine, or any other culture aside from Roman and Hindu cultures, was ALWAYS between a man and a woman. The dictionary companies are not the law, this is how it has always been. "No I don't see how your bestiality claim works. You never addressed how the animals have no way of communicating, and find it very hard to fight back, making it immoral. I agree totally with you on the incest one." So you think beastiality immoral because it counts as rape, so by your definition, I could have sex with animals provided they didn"t care? You fail to address this, no one in their right mind would see their pet as attractive, therefor beastiality is perverse, just like no one in their right mind would look at someone of the same gender as attractive, because they know the natural order of things and they know that violation of it is called perversion. "Passing the law wouldn't undermine the universal right to the freedom of idea, because not passing the law prevents homosexuals having "ligament" weddings. If for some reason you have the right to it, we should too. So why exactly shouldn't the government acknowledge our relationships, but freely acknowledge yours. That's saying you are superior to us, but god says all his children were equal." I am arguing that the government should not acknowledge a certain type of relationship as this type is not legitimate, because it is between two people of the same gender. There is a difference between not acknowledging a relationship because its style is immoral, and not acknowledging a relationship because of the people in the relationship. Saying this would be like saying that G-d discriminated against Cain because he accepted Abel"s offering but not Cain"s, and that G-d acknowledged Abel"s offering but not Cain"s. This would fit perfectly with your argument, and someone might fall for it unless you pointed out it had nothing to do with Cain, it had to do with the thing he was trying to get acknowledged, and this changes everything. "Ones not more superior than the other. I don't see why homosexuals would have to go to Gehenna for such an idiotic thing. They loved a human, in which they had full right to, and then they have to be punished?" No one gets punished for loving another human, you get punished for sexual immorality, two totally different things. Besides, their punishment is also dependent on how much they knew about what they were doing, how they were raised, the extent to which they committed the immorality, etc. "Adultery and cheating are different than homosexuality and heterosexuality. Both of those condone the usage of finding a mate, and then finding someone else off to the side." Adultery and cheating is wrong because you are having sex with someone you are not supposed to. "The Nazis simply had a choice. Hating someone is a choice, you aren't born hating someone. You learn something about them, and then you base what to do off of that. If this was a "choice", when did you choose to be heterosexual?" They had a simple choice; kill the Jews, or don"t, they chose to kill the Jews, even though the Torah says thou shalt not kill. This was repeated, the homosexuals had a simple choice; sleep with someone of the same gender, or don"t, they chose to sleep with someone of the same gender, even though the Torah says it"s an abomination. When did I chose to be heterosexual? Actually, I chose to not marry and be like Nikola Tesla, and just as easily I could chose to marry, I could chose to marry a man or a woman, but rather I chose to not marry. "Your debates have nothing to do with anything close to homosexuality. Yours is about having more than one person you are in love with, or killing people or forcing animals to have sex. It's not like we're pushing our homosexuality onto you in any way, so why do you find it such a big offense for someone to be different to you, to have an attraction towards someone else?" I don"t have an issue with people being different from me or being attracted to the same gender, what I have an issue with is sexual perversion and people trying to excuse themselves by saying that they were "born that way." "And at the end of the day, this debate relies strictly on the genitalia that me, and the person I like have. You know that feeling when you have an attraction towards a girl? That's literally what homosexuals fell, but for the same sex. And don't try to pull anymore of your bestiality bull. That's not what this debate is about." Their brain malfunctions and causes them to be attracted to the same gender, this doesn"t excuse acting upon it, any more than being angry excuses acting upon that.
