Homosexuals and Heaven

[salty]

So in my examples assume the heterosexuals are married.

Why is flying a bad example? What about scuba diving?

I don't agree with you that a married couple is more committed to one another than a non-married couple. Nothing stops a married couple from getting divorced so the whole idea of this "life-long commitment" is just a farce. Not that I think it's a good idea that married couples be forced to stay together; my parents had a rocky relationship but stayed together "for the kids". Rest assured, we were all relieved when they finally separated.

But really the marriage issue is separate from homosexuality.

Marriages are dealt with in many different ways, but the general purpose of it is to make a life-long commitment. I know what you mean about parents staying together "for the kids" really if they are not dedicated to the relationship and to each other then that kind of marriage is a curse because no real issues are ever addressed and it can lead to unfaithfulness in mind and in body.

Assume they are married? Ok, I'll have to go back for another look.

I will also have to reread your example for a response on flying.

Salty you had talked about society moving forward, and described anyone who tried to prevent equality as "less than human". So while you don't personally agree with or like homosexuality do you think they should have equal rights?

People who prevented interracial marriages may have claimed that they weren't hostile either, but just trying to preserve racial purity.

If you think you have the ability to throw down and you live in the united states why don't you meet with me?

is that the christian in you coming out, or just the american?

First. I do support equal rights for homosexuals. I don't think their lifestyle will stop them from managing a store, making food, doing any job really and I think its unfair to give lower wages, etc. I do not support the use of the word "marriage" for a homosexual union because I feel that belongs to heterosexual unions, but that's just my thinking, if they want to make a life long commitment, then so be it. Of course if they stopped and asked me what I think, I would declare that I believe homosexuality is immoral. I haven't met anyone that is excited to ask if another person approves of their choices, they just live their lives.

When I say throw down. I don't mean fight. I mean meet me for discussion and probably lunch. I feel that people are far more harsh on the internet because they don't need to look at someone while they're speaking. Most people just aren't outright rude, but if they are, then we really should meet because its extremely likely they don't have friends....
