Originally posted by GreyMmm, for a few years ago the state and church was the same thing then they got seperated. And there is a relgious part, but they aren't very succeful. Especially after their anti-gay campaign about gay people adopting kids... it was turned out that the kids was actually treated good by the gay parents if not better.  True, we never had slavery. And maybe that's a good thing, althought we did import alot of things that was made by slaves during the 16th/17th/18th centuries. And oh, about the natural thing. By nature we're mostly bisexual, at least if you look at our closest relative (the chimp) have wild sex with each other regardless of the gender. And the sex seems to be just for fun, they do it even if they aren't in "heat". I think it's mainly becuse of moral and choiche that people are they're sexuality. And you can't say that there is certain way to turn gay or bisexual. It's just up to the person itself, it's maybe just a fluke but I yet have to see a rude bisexual or homosexual person. They sure exist but I hadn't seen one. And I really don't mind if some guy get's sexually attracted to me, as long he leave me alone. |

| Sweden, Norway and other Northern nations were primarily mercenary nations until modern times. They were used as personal armies for the most part. But to say that you never had slavery is untrue. The Vikings excelled at taking slaves and their economy was based around that |

| Something has to be wrong if a male and another male or a female another female cannot reproduce. It shows... IT WASNT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! Put 2 and 2 together people. And if you wanna talk about the government in such a way. We should shut down the public school system. The Federal Government is not supposed to be in peoples education. Also just look. Who first wed male and female? The church! Why does the government have to get involved? (edited by Randy53215 on 04-04-05 03:01 PM) |

| Ditto. You're not making any sense Randy. Unless of course you were serious about shutting down all public education. Then again by extension of that argument the government shouldn't even exist - you're proposing we overthrow the government or something? | |||

| I think he was trying to support HGanon's argument about reproduction. Oddly, though, I don't think the traditional wedding vows include anything about having kids. |

| I'll fix up that tag thing in a moment As for the wedding vows. That is pecularly Catholic. The Catholic Church demands that wedded couples have kids. No one else does |

| You can argue homosexuality to be unnatural without looking at marriage, as Randy did. But that depends upon whether you view unnatural to be synonymous with evil. I don't. Given people are drawn to be homosexual without outside influences, it is at least in some respect natural - motivated by hormones and impulses in the brain. Otherwise it would just be some novelty done once in a while, not a lifestyle. | |||

Mmm, and oh. Let's make all other types than vaginal sex illegal. Becuse everything else is unnatural.Originally posted by ZiffskiMmm, I agree that we had slaves at a certain time. I guess I should have said after the 15th century or something... At least our parties don't have roots in slavery.

| There is a much better idea than to have the government involved. Change all marriages without the church civil union, marriages with the church stay that. It is a religious thing endorsed by the government, so let the people who made it decide. The vote happens today in Kansas whether the defination of marriage is going to be changed to a man and a woman. You know, if they want to preserve marriage, why are the changing it? Now, back on topic. Yes people do things with their opinions, because people suck. Its completely true that people suck. I could magically find evidence about any major thing, and people would just ignore it, blocking it from their mind so they don't have to worry about it. Like people with genetically enhanced food. They refuse to eat it because it has to be "organic", but it would save so many lives. The sad thing is, there is someone who won the nobel peace prize and was estimated to have saved a billion people, yet people put opinions first. |

| Of course, whether or not any religion consents to same-sex relationships and/or marriage can be debated ad infinitum, but it's a moot point in the context of civil marriage. Allow me to explain. See, there are two (count 'em, two) institutions which are referred to as "marriage". Though they have the same name, they are separate things. I refer, of course, to religious marriage and civil marriage. A religious marriage depends on the religion. To use Catholicism as an example, a catholic marriage is a relationship between a Man, a Woman, and God, and is recognized by and performed under the auspices of the Catholic Church. The State has (or should have) no interest nor jurisdiction in these matters. A civil marriage is recognized by and performed by, and under the auspices of, the State (e.g. the United States). This is a relationship between two consenting and qualified adults, and the State, and confers benefits such as visitation rights, joint custody of children, and so on. The Church has (or should have) no interest nor jurisdiction in these matters. These types of marriage are (or at least ought to be) wholly independent of one another: you can get a Religious Marriage without a corresponding Civil Marriage, or vice-versa, or, as usually happens, both. Religious marriage is (or should be) outside the jurisdiction of the State, and conversely, Civil marriage is (or should be) outside the jurisdiction of the Church. Now, what does this all mean? It means that if the Church doesn't want to recognize same-sex relationships or permit same-sex couples to marry, that's OK. The State has (or should have) no say in that matter. The State only has jurisdiction in Civil marriage, where I think it ought to allow for same-sex civil marriage; not "civil union", but civil marriage. And, again, I don't think the State should impose same-sex marriage upon any religion against its will, and will speak out if it attempts to do so. Now, whether the church ought to adopt same-sex religious marriage can be debated ad infinitum, and for religious same-sex couples who wish to get married, they'll have to come to terms with that on their own (note that Christianity is not the only religion; there are religions |
