+604 I'll accept your religious beliefs as an excuse for being against gay marriage IF you actually follow everything your religion dictates. Otherwise you're just picking and choosing words out of a book in order to fight something that is different for you, and that's pathetic. Amirite?

Ex: They must make sure never to cook a goat in it's mothers milk

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Emperorerror):I wouldn't cook a goat in its mother's milk. I'm part of a very large community of ultra-orthodox jews that actually strives to keep all that's written in the torah. And it does say that homosexuality is wrong. It also says that judging another human being is wrong. It's really nobody's business what goes on in someone else's bedroom.

So if homosexuality is wrong, and judging another human being is also wrong, wouldn't you be somewhat stuck?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Emperorerror):Nope. What another person does is not my business. There is no such thing as a person who never does anything wrong. Doing something wrong does not make one a bad person. My point isn't to debate homosexuality. My point is that only people who are gay have to worry about whether it's okay or not because it's no one else's business.

AJ Jacobs gave a speech on ted.com about how picking and choosing in the bible is okay as long as you pick the parts about love www.ted.com/talks/a_j_jacobs_year_of_living_biblically.html (It's near the end)

I don't think gay marriage is right, but I don't oppose it either. It doesn't affect me, but it makes people happy. Also, I don't pick and choose randomly or for my own benefit, but i pick what's still relevant today, and only stuff from the Old Testament that wasn't changed in the New Testament. I think it's okay to want your neighbour's wife, but it's not okay to act on that in any way outside your own mind. If it doesn't affect me, but makes people happy, I will support it. If it affects me negatively, then I will oppose it. I don't believe it's my job to predict how God will treat people in the afterlife, so I just leave them alone to enjoy Heaven of suffer God's wrath, depending on His views, not mine.

" but i pick what's still relevant today" So therefor YOU are choosing what to follow, then?

Yes. 'Picking and choosing' implies that I pick whatever suits me, and for no reason other than that. In reality,however, I have criteria based on external circumstances and may not like what fits them.

Just wondering, why do you think gay marriage is "not right"? Just religious beliefs?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's not right, but it's also not wrong. Like I don't believe it's a sin. In fact, I support gay marriage because it's better than gay flings. I'm against straight flings too, because STIs freak me out. They love each other, so why not? It's only not right because it is unnatural, in that that's not how nature intended it. It's not wrong because it probably is true love. If God created all minds and spirits, and God doesn't make mistakes, He meant for them to be gay. It's not just religious beliefs, but combined with logic, too.
