Christianity must Implode

[Shining_Finger]

I appreciate the answer but I can't understand your mode of thought at all I'm afraid. I'll have to give up. I hope you wouldn't actually want to block secular same sex marriages for non-Christians. If you would, I am shocked that you think one particular religion should get to dictate how the government handles things.

I do not think that one particular religion should dictate how the government handles things.

I've stated this more than once in this forum.  I am not opposed to civil unions in the public sector that provide the same rights and privileges under the law as heterosexual marriage does.  I consider marriage a sacred institution, which has deep meaning to me, and I resent government being allowed to change the definition of marriage, as it has been defined since the establishment of this nation.  It's as if the government declares that Christmas is now going to be the celebration of Secularist Day, but we're still going to call it Christmas.  In that case, they have redefined Christmas.  I don't mind someone celebrating Secularist Day, but don't say that is now what Christmas means.

I think that homosexual relations are immoral.  I also think that heterosexual relations outside of marriage are immoral.  I think that divorce for convenience is immoral.  I think that drunkenness is immoral.  I don't hate people who do these things, but I am not in favor of them doing them.  It really frustrates me that people cannot grasp what I am trying to convey.  Should people hate me because they believe that some of my moral stances are actually immoral?  I don't think they should.  They are entitled to oppose my actions and beliefs, but they shouldn't hate me and I shouldn't hate them.

So are you against Interracial Marriage? You would have to be to be consistent.
