Re: In Defense of the Marriage

Maybe so, but you've failed to answer the question, merely attempted to narrow its scope
My opinion isn't based on the individual church. I'm not against gay marriages "because it's against what the church says". I'm against it because of how I view marriage. That's been my view for close to 12 years.

Quote:
The Christian church has prohibitions against homosexual marriages, so do some other religions. But what about a situation where the religion has absolutely no objections to homosexual marriage?
As I've said, I don't care about the religion. It's about how marriage is viewed.

Quote:
If a couple were to get married under the auspices of that church would you fail to recognise them as being married?
Here, look at it like this: it's not just gays, it's also divorcees too. Both contravene what I consider the 'qualification' for marriage. Also people who are to be in an 'arranged marriage' (can't wait for someone to accuse me of being a 'racist' for saying that.....).

Quote:
I`m sure you'd be the first to kick up a stink if someone from a church other than your own refused to recognise your marriage.
I'd kick up a stink? Well you REALLY know me then don't you...

No actually, I wouldn't care. As long as God recognised my marriage, I couldn't care what others thought.
