Gay marriage

[là bạn điên]

What is hilarious is that (currently a discussion with a religious friend) their bigest objection is that the "churches" will be FORCED to marry gay couples?

Sorry but WTF? hock:

Yes, that argument was going around here, too. Probably still is. lol
Churches have the right to refuse to marry any couple. Couples where one or both people have been married before get turned down by Churches all the time. They just go and find another Church. The same will happen with this. There are Churches that are planning to offer weddings to same-sex couples, and they were unhappy when Churches were nearly excluded from being permitted to perform the marriages after the Church Of England threw a tantrum about the "Definition Of Marriage" being changed (You know, like the way the Church Of England was founded so that Henry VIII could redefine marriage to enable him to divorce Catherine of Aragon without the Pope's permission and marry Anne Boleyn.)

AHHHHHHHH My Bete Noir

The Church of England was NOT founded by Henry VIIII it was founded by St.Augustine. Henry VIII stayed a Catholic his whole life. He was a schismatic and NOT a heretic. He didn;t divorce Ann Boleyn, he had the marriage annulled.

The Church of England in its modern form dates to Elizabeth I

The Church of England was NOT founded by Henry VIII. How many fucking time s a year I have to address this

I dunno. One?

Before 1534, the Church Of England was Catholic. I didn't think I needed to clarify that I meant it was then founded as an independent church and faith in its own right. It's hardly relevant to the topic.

What religion do you think the church was in 1535? Certainly wasn't protestant. What religion do you thing England was in 1557? Heres a clue the initials are R.C. and it isn't refomed calvinism
