Church of England warning on gay marriage

[Zen Badger]

Sooooooo, Kichi, what don't you like about the Church of England???

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?

'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)

Like I said babe, we'll swap out the word "god" with "the universe"

It would appear the Church of Scotland is not immune to this and the organisation could possibly be breaking up over the row:

Pathetic.

Just accept gays can marry like everyone else, grow up, and move on. And yes, those of you out there who don't want gay marriage and also don't want to be labelled "homophobic" ARE homophobic because you don't want same sex marriage. End of story.

Would that include the very many gay people that don't want it WC?

Don't start me on the Church of England!

I'm not Kichi, but I dont like the way they crowbar their god into everything. A couple of years ago a 24 year old work colleague died of cancer. At the service after a little bit of patter on the deceased the vicar then went onto a massive talk on the theme how sad god must have been to see his son die and what a sacrifice it was yadda yadda yadda. I was incensed, this was supposed to be Bernies day and the talk was all jesus this and god that.

Bullshit fr0d0. I've spoken to many of them and they hate their relationship being classed as a civil partnership. Its a very demeaning term that sounds a little below "cohabiting", as in, non-married couples living together under common law.

Well, I do know a couple of gay folk who don't think it is necessary. The majority of them do though.

I quote a gay celebrity on the radio. A civil partnership is fully equal in law to marriage. Religious overtones are not needed and not wanted.

I am thinking that maybe it is the religious who inflict their sanctimonious elitism upon the 'Civil Ceremony' as if it is less than human and by inference so are the couple.

[fr0d0]

To me, the only reason I can see people wanting it is if they're religious themselves / for religious reasons. (and I'd support that)

Descrimination inferred or handed out is the originators problem.
