Yup. Not my place to judge as a Christian. That is between them and God. As an American, I still want it to be "Land of the Free." Start discriminating against them and who is next? I just don't want it to be called "marriage." Call it whatever the heck you want. Marriage is a man and a woman. Give them their own title, give them the same benefits to get on their "spouse's" health insurance and retirement beneficiaries. I can live with this. It seems fair. Just don't freakin' call it marriage!
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with it. Not my place to judge. It is not right, but they can do as they wish so long as I don't have to hear about it. Sadly, the media is cramming it down our throats. They make it out to be the "cool thing to do" and I disagree with it. I don't want my kids believing this an acceptable norm. It is unacceptable. I just don't think it is my place to tell them they are wrong anymore than it is someone's place to tell me shooting deer is wrong. We will all do as we wish. One might not agree with my deer hunting but they better not tell me I can't do it because they dislike it. I won't tell them they can't be butt pirates just because I dislike their lifestyle.You guys surprise me a bit with your views. Interracial and gay lesbian marriages are taboo in the Bible I read. Everyone has their own opinion, so be it. The decision today just represents how far we will go to make every body happy.
Amen dude.Such is life. Our government never would've had this problem if they kept their nose out of people lives. It was they who put laws around marriage, gave diferent treatment to married vs single like tax status, required registration, set health insurance laws etc. Religion has no business in politics. A Christian has no more right to prevent with law a gay from getting married, than a Hindi does to forbid by law guns. I do not agree with homosexuality. But I don't have the right to tell them they can't get married either. In reality it's none of my business. Laws based on religious beliefs have no business in today's society. I however do not agree with the Supreme Court forcing states to agree. It's a state issue, not a federal one.
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I don't know what makes other people happy. That is up to them. I only know what makes me happy and that is up to me. It's not my place to judge, but if they force religious institutions to perform same sex marriages, I'll have serious issues with that.
