Gay Marriage

your arguments have consisted of crap like noone's being FORCED and technically a job is a choice and the like. I simply saying that you're welcome to continue that, but it ain't helping your argument.

A job is a choice! No one is being forced to eat at certain restaurants, take certain jobs, drive at certain times, befriend certain people with "unhealthy" habits, etc.

You know, your idea if making it illegal for a business owner to ask a prospective employee certain questions.

It should not be something the government aids in. Basically, they can ask, but the prospective employee should be able to refrain from answering (5th Amendment kind of deal.)

Not really, he is claiming people have freedom of choice on where to work and eat, so the government should not regulate smoking in these areas.

A person also has a choice where to interview, but he is for regulating how the private business owner conducts the interview.

The 2 don't "jive".

Correct, they do not have to answer. But that is far different from supporting the idea of legislating what the business owner is allowed to ask.

I agree. I thought I admitted to seeing that fallacy in my argument...last week? Two weeks ago?

Not sure what FUBAR means but please tell how gay people marrying would benefit America. It hasn't been legal for over 200 years and I think we have done ok for ourselves. The only benefit is for the people in the relationship and I'm not sure why someone choosing to be gay should get tax breaks and benefits. You can call my views outdated but I will use the Bible as my compass on all these matters.

You're right - we should disallow people from doing something because they are different.

And the bolded shows how bigoted you are.

Not being allowed to do something and being discriminated against are two very different things. Please show me where the Bible condones homosexuality. The Bible calls it a perversion. In our country homosexuals have a right to be gay, but why should we change laws and or traditions because they choose this lifestyle? Again I will ask how does this benefit our society? Just because some people choose to smoke weed doesn't mean we should change our laws to accomidate them. I don't hear people saying we are discriminating against people who choose to smoke weed or use drugs in the privacy of their own home.

Guess what - some of the people who made our laws probably were involved in some homosexuality. It's not like gay people just sprouted this century.

Quit assigning bigotry to anybody that disagrees with you. There's a big difference between believing something is wrong and actually acting on it in a way that persecutes.

It's not they disagree with me. I'm a Christian, but I don't understand the thought process in denying homosexuals some of the things we straight people can have.

What I'm saying is no different than what others are saying. I'm choosing to voice my opinion in the words I am choosing.

Homosexuality is wrong and gay marriage must never be allowed. I will admit that I am what many people would call "homophobic." It disgusts me when I see gays in public or when I see some new "gay-oriented" show on TV.

Keep in mind that adultery is on the same level as homosexuality but yet adultery is condoned by society as a whole. Many who have issues with homosexuals have no problem with those who commit adultery.

Just curious, how is adultery condoned by society?
