Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy
#2
RE: Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy
Honestly, while it's nice that someone can ignore the religious BS about gays and find passages that would support gay marriage, I still don't like the fact she is referencing the same book that in one breath says "love thy neighbour" and in another says "Stone your unrully child."

People need to stop referencing this "holy" book, whether for good or ill. While I applaud the effort to show conservatives that the bible can be interpreted to support Gay Marriage, the quotes they use still supports their message and we need to stop picking and choosing quotes from an outdated book and discuss rationally and ethicly the reasons for allowing gay marriage. However, if that happened thee gay marriage debate would fall apart becuase the only opponents of gay marriage ARE religious with the minor exception of those who just oppose marriage in general.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
