Legislation for gay marriage is approved in the UK House of Commons!

[A Theist]

Conversations get pretty boring when everyone agrees, don't they? Okay, so here goes...
No way do I believe that a gay relationship is a natural and normal thing. It's all nonsense! Our bodies are not constructed to accommodate same gender sex. I don't buy into gay marriage either. Gay marriage is a perversion, a distortion of real marriage, between one man and one woman. Britain has finally succumbed to the bullying and intimidation by gay and leftwing activists. I only hope that the people here in the U.S. will stand their ground to oppose gay marriage.

Is it also still bothering you that afro-americans are allowed to take a seat in the bus wherever they want to sit?

Dick and ass. Mouth and dick. Hand and pussy. Mouth and pussy. Seems like our bodies can accommodate for same-sex relations just fine.

real marriage, between one man and one woman.

So why do so many characters in the babble have multiple wives?
(Hell, they must have multiple mother in laws too!)

Some honest questions:

1) How are you defining the words "natural" and "normal"? For instance, if it were proved that being gay is natural (i.e. not a "lifestyle choice" as a lot of anti-gay people claim), would you accept gay relationships, or are you basing what is "natural" on something else?

2) If someone loses their genitals, their bodies are no longer constructed to accommodate any form of sex. Does that mean they are unable to have a relationship with someone in your eyes? My point being, do you see relationships as purely about sex, or do you admit that people can have relationships without sex being a factor or even a necessity? There are, for example, many straight asexual couples who have no interest in sex whatsoever, but their relationships are based on spending time with each other.

3) Who/what do you think controls what "real marriage" is?

4) Marriage was at one point, in your own country, defined as between one man and one woman of the same race. Was that also a perversion of real marriage? Do you accept that the definition of marriage has changed over the years?

Oh, and FYI, the people who brought this bill to parliament were conservatives.

[Minimalist]

So there you have it, we have a parliament made up of unfairly elected MPs, who in turn appoint a number of unelected and sometimes more powerful Lords, who in turn can veto a lot of bills passed by the House of Commons, but are also limited in their power.

Careful. America may have to "export" democracy to Britain. Then you'll be screwed!

No, it's not at all natural. Unlike the totally natural machine you use to talk to people all over the world.

Besides, homosexual behaviour is perfectly natural and has been observed in too many species for it to even be debatable anymore. However, no other animal gets married, marriage is completely unnatural, especially considering we're probably not even a monogamous species.

Amen brother Theist! The Wholly Babble is very clear on the matter of homosexuality: they need to be rounded up and put to death.

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

You do support the death penalty for homosexuality as the Gawd's Law recommends, right? That would surely put an end to their bullying ways!

Where I think you need an education on what is written in the Wholly Babble is what it says about this "one man and one woman" nonsense. The phrase is nowhere in the Babble any more than the phrase "life begins at conception". These so called truisms are just the imaginations of phony Christians in the GOP.

The greatest indication that the Babble is pro-polygamy is found in Deut 21:15 where the practice is regulated (where there is regulation, there is a tacit endorsement of the practice):

Deut 21:15-17 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

Also, be careful of making evaluations of what is "natural" and implying that this is somehow "good". As True Christians ™, we must remember that we live in a fallen world and that the god of what is natural is Satan.

2nd Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The natural universe is an abominable place. We as True Christians ™ wish to leave it to ascend to our Lord Jayzus.

Oh, and for those of you unsaved Hellbound trash who doubt that they homosexuals are a group of bullies, just feast your eyes on the latest tactic that this lobby group has employed to terrorize us neanderthals (shudder). Watch if you dare:

Sorry, Bubba, but you're on the wrong side of history.

Congrats UK!


Now if ONLY Australia can get it's act together.

Not likely unless The Parliamentary (as opposed to the membership) Labor Party stops being divided on the issue and the there is more support from the Liberal and National party politicians for it. Also not to mention the greater influence of the Catholic church in Australian as opposed to UK politics. Also not to mention the influence that groups like the Australian Christian Lobby have over our politicians, which ought scare most of us. Since at the very least they are killjoy wowsers at their worst they are Christian Dominionists.
