Hurricanes are part of God's Natural Law, and no I don't believe in that non-sense. If it were going to destroy a city of sodomy, then it should have went to San Francisco.

God's natural law??? Man, an evolution thread may be pure gold around here

If it did have something to do with it, does that mean you support them?

Read the last sentence of that post and it should tell you. Just in case though you don't want to scroll up, I don't support the slaughter of innocent people for any reason that it might be for.

Exactly what I did, but you seem to have had a problem with that one.

You seemed to compare where we said that we respected a homosexuals opinion, not agree but respect, and then you posted that it is ludacris to respect a murderer for what they did which is completely correct...while not a direct comparison, still a comparison, if we would have never said anything about respecting a homo's opinion the murder card would have never been laid...all the same...:peace2:

The reference to the Crusades came about when someone tried to pass off Christianity as a tolerant religion. I simply was pointing out that the church has a long history of barbaric hypocrisy.

And the reference to your reference came about because someone claimed I posted something not specific to the thread title. I was just pointing out that it is more than acceptable to do this.

Nope. I just threw the murderer thing out there in repsonse to G8terh8ter's idea that every idea or decision should be repected. I do not agree with that statement. Plain and simple, that is all I was saying.

A whole bunch. Is that some sort of defense for the Crusades and the Salem Witch Trials? I'm a desecendent of Devil Anse Hatfield, does that mean I have free reign to go around killing McCoys?

I used to be "against" gay marriage, then I started wondering how my personal life would be affected by it. I can't think of a single way in which my personal life is affected by the personal decisions of a gay couple.

Some may view the primary purpose of marriage is procreation and for that reason, gay marriage should be banned. What about older couples in their 60's who decide to get married? Or any couple incapable of having children? Should they also be barred from marriage because they aren't able to produce children?

Finally (for my purposes anyway) gay marriage and homosexuality in general makes psychopathic cult leaders like Fred Phelps even crazier. Other than making fun of liberals, I can't imagine anything more fun than making that lunatic froth at the mouth even more.

No, LOL. I just don't understand why people point out that Christian's are some sort of intolerant people. Every religion, including mine, is guilty of something that has happened in the past. Whether it be mass murder, wars, witch trials, or whatever else you can come up with here. I am not them and they are not me. I am not tolerant of alot of things because it conflicts with my religious beliefs and if people don't like it, then oh well. I don't agree with others but I respect the fact they have the right just as I do to make mistakes and learn from them.

While I agree with you guys that it doesn't have an effect on my life or others, that doesn't mean we are not allowed to form an opinion of it...

But I have read previous post that conflict with you statement. You may have beliefs that confict with others but if I read correctly you are not intolerant to believe that your opinion or belief is the only one out there and discount all others. Or?

I have an opinion. I don't care. Gay marriage, women's basketball, and Clay Aiken concerts are all topics that exist, but I couldn't care less about.

Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to be as miserable as the straight people who are married? I don't see why anyone would want to get married in the first place, gay or straight.

It is a serious question. You don't think some religion would ever test an idea like this? Take a look into the Irish Travelers in South Carolina or "gypsies" as some people call them. It was your idea I was buidling off of, don't discard my question because you don't like the question. Some religions may feel a 10 year old can make that decision.

If these people could convince me that it was actually an informed consent, then I would have no problem with it. I doubt they would be able to convince me though. If you want to bring up that they might be able to convince others, so be it. If they convince a majority of the voting populus or voting officials, then it will be legislated. That is how a liberty works. I can live with it.
