Jeez, there are too many which directly and indirectly say/suggest it, but here are a few examples that I quickly found:

Gn 1:27 complementarity of sexes reflects God's inner unity
Gn 2:21-24 transmission of life through total self donation - 1 flesh
Gn 19 original sin deteriorates to Sodom's sin
Lv 18:22 called abomination, cut off from people (v.29)
Lv 20:13 both shall be put to death for abominable deed
Rom 1:27 called unnatural, shameful, and a perversity
1 Cor 6:9 active homosexuals won't inherit kingdom of God
1 Tim 1:9-10 those who engage in such acts called "sinners".

Of course we know that the original intent for marriage was to have a man and a women to get married. Why do certain people never think outside of the box of society? Society has intended many things, but of those things, taking away liberty is one of them. Never follow society unless you atleast know why you follow any type of norms that are given. If you don't question things to an extent (by that I don't mean repeatedly asking "why?" over and over again), you might become ignorant. Even still, society has no right what so ever to take away liberty unless that liberty is taken away for a completely justified reason which has never been given for homosexual marriages.

While possibly topical, completely inappropriate. Make your point another way.

hmm i won't relay my opinion on this matter but i will say that marriage has always been an act of religion not just two ppl getting together for the rest of their lives the government in the US whether ppl want to believe it or not stems from a strong religious background mostly protestant in origin marriage was used by the government as a tool in the recognition of couples to ensure that all matters of state would be handled with as little grievance as possible, marriage was also used to designate authority with the household when the country was founded the head of the household was held with responsibility for the rest men could and were fined and jailed due to actions their spouses and children did, now that is not say the individual involved wasn't punished they were its just the family unit was given more liberty and thus more responsibility since then marriage has been used in recognizing financial dependence and the duality of ownership of all possessions of the couple, land, home, cars, whatever. anyways now that i've rambled on a bit my point is that marriage was, is, and will still be a religious pact that the government uses in the organization of society that being said in the end the entire point of having a recognized and legal marriage is based on the need to be excepted into society and regardless of governmental approval it is the religious side of the common populace that will in the end accept or reject and at the moment it is rejecting the validity of any marriage of same sex. besides marriage is never something to be entered lightly whether it is til death do we part which sadly most of society seems to forget or forgo

I almost fell out of my chair laughing from that.

But seriously dude, it makes you look bad when you don't split things up into paragraphs, capitalize things, and use periods often. Many people in CT will get kinda irritated by it. It's not really my job to tell you what to do, but please follow the rules. I honestly couldn't even manage to focus through the entire first run-on sentence. And by the first run-on sentence, I mean what looks like 2/3 of the only paragraph.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but please make it readable.

Hmm, well grammar has never been my thing, namely because i suck at it, but i will endever to remember next time i post something long.

It's only a month. You don't have to get all personal about it.

In fact, things should never get personal here.

[devonin]

Even more in fact: In CT, the rules about bumping old threads are substantially relaxed, since by its nature, CT threads get a flurry of activity, then go dormant until someone comes in with a fresh take on the subject.

[GuidoHunter]

paxaea: five days for spam in CT. Maybe instead of yelling at other people about things that are actually within the rules, you follow the rules yourself.

This isn't the first time you've done it, either.

i think as long as two people are happy then they should be able to do what they want as long as its ethical because to be honest on a POV of a homosexual maybe its wrong to be hetero you know what i mean

[mike2727]

yeah it should be allowed lmao because its an invasion of peoples privacy

[Shamo0]

I think it should be allowed. Religion is flawed and should not be in any law regulating system what so ever.

[devonin]

I think this thread has about run its course. Perhaps it should be sunk, maybe in a few months something sufficiently new on the subject will justify reopening it.

[Oi]

Marriage is no longer only a religious thing. I think if two people truly love eacother, I don't see why same sex marriage should be a problem. I'm all for it.

We prevented others from having slaves because thats invading THIER right to the constitution and the rights of freedom.

Sorry for having bad grammer, i'm not as blessed as some of you. I could just type out in my own language if ya want and have you guys try to translate it to english. Its not as easy as it seems.

There is no question if marriages should be allowed or not by homosexuals. You're removing rights of homosexuals of getting married. Why aren't homosexuals allowed to get married? Its thier choice, not yours. Don't like gay marriages? Don't marry one.

Oregon was also known for allowing gay marriage until they took a stop to it, sometime ago.

[z0mgfightme]

It should be allowed. I think it's a violation of constitutional rights not to allow a gay couple to marry. This is taking us back to days of slavery where black people weren't granted the same rights because they weren't "equal" to whites. Same with gays. THEY ARE THE SAME! They feel and they love and they DEFINATELY deserve the same marital rights as heterosexuals.
