Hi, is first post. Apologies in advance for my inadequacies with the English language.
Bored and can't sleep, I was wondering what people opinions were on gay marriage. I'll go first, to encourage discourse....... disagree please, and if my opinion makes you angry don't just shout at your screen. TYPE IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS
I was of the opinion that it the argument (at it's core) is merely different interpretations of what "God" wanted, that aside, if civil partnerships have the same rights as a married couples should atheists even care about then infighting of theists?
If we are to take sides, firstly by granting the premise of their "God", could we not challenge the homophobia prevalent within Christianity. Encourage an interpretation that was more tolerant to be taught, we seem to be stuck with religion........ why not warp it in something that's more inclusive than exclusive?
I suppose I want the Church to exclude lots of people on such grounds, gives ammunition for shyte throwing matches if nothing else.
