There's absolutely nothing I can post in response to that, that wouldn't require me to ban myself from the forum immediately.

This is a complete non issue they were not refused service they were not barred from the premises they were told that as an unmarried couple they were not permitted to have a double room. Many many years ago when i went to torquay with a girlfriend we stayed at a lovely b&b that insisted we stay in single rooms as we were not married.

Maybe i should have sued them for their lack of understanding but i took the view i think most would that although i might have been a paying customer that didn't mean they lost all their rghts to run their business how they chose to and i had the option as did this couple to go to another b&b if i was that offended.

This is just another example of something i see all to often in this country these days of some people looking for trouble looking to make a row where there really doesn't need to be one and another example of one group wanting a level of understanding for their position while completely failing to do the same for others it really is getting beyond a joke and it needs to stop now.

Over the last few days i have been in a weird position for me in a couple of threads on here lol defending someone in the bnp though i loathe the party and all it stands for and now as an atheist defending the rights of a religious couple shows how funny life can be doesn't it.

No they don't

Civil partnership

The Civil Partnership Act 2004 came into force on 5 December 2005 and enables same-sex couples to obtain legal recognition of their relationship. Couples who form a civil partnership have a new legal status, that of 'civil partner'

Is religion not about faith and believe? If lucy believes that her marriage was approved by God, even though it was in a registry office, then i think it's extremely hypocritical for a christian to say thats not the case.

So all the various odd and perverted marriage arrangements from around the world should be catered for and allowed to proceed in this country?

Marrying animals, 8 year old girls etc.

What you've done, as per usual, is take part of what I've said and tried to sum it up in one sentence to try and make me look bad.

I've specifically not elaborated on my stance (hence my saying "we'll agree to disagree") in order not to drag this off topic in to the realms of the usual Christianity-bashing.

lucy7 · 24-03-2009, 20:09

This has all gone off topic......again!!

But hey ho....go with the flow.

I feel I must state that I am a Christian, a Jehovahs Witness infact.
I never argue, just discuss.

Whats the morphine for Saff?

Please read my above post!!! scrawl up.
