Oh wow...the same characters with the same tired arguments. I don't know how a thread about plan b and teens turned to same sex marriage unless someone is obsessed with it, but... In orwoulda want a different sex marriage, wouldn't they have had to have sex to know? sounds absurd. Right or...

Circular logic. You seem to be saying that if you don't believe Reba's interpretation of gods word, then you don't believe. Every christian's faith is based on man's interpretation of gods word. That's why there are so many different types of christian. I'm going to bed, but I look forward to...

To be fair...I dont agree with what you say the bible says. I believe that your interpretation is incorrect. I believe that people don't accept your references because they don't believe they say what you think they do. I get that you believe that your understanding of the word I'd superior...

Great...this gets to my original question. How does gays marrying destroy the marriage relationship?

The bible says a lot of very specific things that we don't choose to interprete literally. Men marrying their daughters, having more than one wife, etc. And by the way, I do believe in God and his word. Don't Make assumptions about me. It's just that my understanding of his word is more...

Again, where in the bible does it say one man and one woman? That's our societies ever outdated interpretation of marriage.

Show me one place in the bible that says homosexuals shall not marry. Oh, I shouldn't even ask...another can of worms altogether...interpreting the bible. Why would god have a problem with two people committing to each other? Isn't the bible man's interpretation of gods word? I'm ducking now.

You're right, I probably won't get an answer, but maybe I'll understand why!

How? I thinks it's self evident, but more successful marriageS (or any institution) would seem to make the institution stronger. But, my original question was how does gay marriage weaken or harm traditional marriage. I honestly don't get it.

What a novel idea...letting god make the judgement regarding "his" word!!! Kidding aside...I agree 100%. Who are we mere mortals to interpret the word? Ok, that's a bit tongue in cheek, but I agree with the sentiment. Well said Jiro.

I guess you would regulate it the way you regulate straight marriage...a license. There will always be someone gaming the system...alot of people get married for the wrong reasons. Marriage is as much a responsibility as a privilege. I honestly don't understand what the problem is...more...

Very thoughtful post. I agree, it's about the mental chemistry and willingness to communicate whatever it takes.

Hey...great! I have two dogs and two cats...they coexist well. Take it slow and you should be ok.

Ok...so are you saying that it's ok for gay couples to be married in the eyes of god? Or that it's ok for gay couples to be married in a civil ceremony, but not a god ceremony. Sorry...I'm not following you.

Ok, so I have a question. Why would providing equal benefits to gay couples (ie. marriage benefits, right to make medical visits and decisions, family insurance, taxes, inheritance, etc) be a threat to "traditional marriage?" wouldn't it strengthen the institution of marriage? Seriously, I...
