prime example to why religion is bull****, u can do whatever u want but as long as u say sorry to god it's ok and if u can't repent it away or drown in it in dogma it or the action isn't really Christian

And that's a prime example of complete and utter ignorance.

Is there any reason for you to get offensive? Oh let me guess, you weren't being offensive, "just expressing your views"...

i doubt that there would be that many same sex unions to replace hetrosexual unions as the 'norm'.

I'm left feeling that what you really mean is 'right' or 'proper' instead of 'the norm'.
So WHAT if kids growing up thought it was the norm? surely the most important thing in a family is a loving enviroment? or is the fear that gay/lesbian parents will brainwash their children to follow their sexual orientation - and even if they DID, that would be no different from some hetrosexual parents turning thier backs on their children when they 'come out of the closet' would it?

if I'm to be considered 'stuck in my ways' over anything, it's that children should have a mother and a father. I point-blank refuse to back down from that stance, now and in the future.

I don't doubt that gays have a lot of love to give, but what about a child from a same-sex "union" (I hate that word) in school? Think of the flack from fellow pupils.

i dont understand - its ok to BE gay, just dont act it? that puts homosexuality on the same level as a CRIME does it not? - its ok to think about bricking your neighbours window - just dont do it?

From an odd pojnt of view, you're not far from it. If I may be crude for a moment, it's such activity as gay sex which I find deplorable and is discouraged in the Bible. It's one thing to have urges (we all have sexual urges) but it's another matter to act on them.

Yes I have to point out that old nugget religious wars. It seems that every war has its heart seated in religion at some level, even if it is an extremist faction. Its still there.

How many more times are apparently intelligent people going to come out with that worn-out piece of rubbish??? Religion does not cause wars and never has done. People have indeed USED it as an excuse to fight. It's like saying football causes fighting just because of the hooligan element.

I feel that if there was a god that he would have made himself known by now, especially when you look at the history of the 20th Century, how many people must have asked "why god?" Did he answer, maybe to them, probably not to anyone.

He will make himself known when He's good and ready. This is HIS planet, not ours. We're just tenants.

Lets face it if mankind ever needed proof of God it is now

From that comment I assume that you (along with many others on this forum) have not properly researched Christianity and what it's about....
