Church of England warning on gay marriage

It must be nice for people with anxiety state who can't deal with change to know there are some things that will never change, like the Church of England being the typical anti-equality scum-bags and completely bigoted as usual.

All this in spite of the Government pressing ahead to enforce changes to the law for gay marriage by 2015:

I wonder if the backward institution will suffer such backlash over this issue, which shouldn't even be controversial in the first instance, that it'll lead to the disestablishment of the state church, thereby rendering the UK, a proper secular country. Big Grin

It's time for change. Whether the church likes it or not. Would be nice to dispose of that title 'Christian country'.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Atheist warning on Christianity: It'll turn your brain to mush

seriously, there are not words for how much the childish conduct of the CoE is beginning to aggravate me, it simply isn't their position to subvert the law. Besides, look at re-marriage, divorce and infidelity among 'christian marriages', these are real issues with marriage, not homosexuality. Ridiculous human beings and ridiculous institutions alike.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.

Dear Church of England,

You say "alter the intrinsic nature of marriage as the union of a man and a woman, as enshrined in human institutions throughout history".

I hear "gay people are icky...stop them...stop them all!!!"

Great news! I have CofE friends who are smacking their heads on their tables (I can quote them). Yep it should lead to separation. Best thing that could happen.

Apart from EVERYTHING?


You should see the "Wedding Ceremony" that is imposed on couples... all talk from the minister and nothing from those ACTUALLY involved!!

Grrrr.

Apparently God is some sicko sex-fiend who NEEDS to be involved in the whole 'wedding' business....perverted much?

minister Wrote:'marriage is between a couple and god who is involved in the wedding'

My response = So god can't get his own fucks and needs to make a threesome with us?....kinky (Not in so many words as I really like the minister (not for his religious affiliations)
