RootsBooster Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 How many times can an issue be discussed on a forum? Why do gay people want to get married within a institution which fundamentally disagrees with what they're doing? It's like me wanting to join the hunting the fox hunting club when I'm against shooting foxes. If you're gay, tie the civil partnership knot, the church doesn't want you. You seem to think that marriage is tied in exclusively with the Church, it's not. And no I'm not a Christan, I'm an atheist, but if the Christians don't want to marry gay people, they shouldn't be made to. Nobody is trying to make Christians marry gay people, quite the opposite actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem8634 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 you're on my ignore list all you do is get my posts removed go away and troll somewhere else you're not interested in debate. thats the last time I respond to you What specifically in my responses to you corresponds with the behaviour profile of a troll? I am not responsible if you cannot manage to reply to perfectly straightforward and honest examinations of your points of view without breaking forum rules. You are, of course, at perfect liberty to ignore who you wish but it seems as though you have the wrong idea about which one of us is not interested in debate. ---------- Post added 02-04-2013 at 17:10 ---------- How many times can an issue be discussed on a forum? Probably a good few more, I would imagine, but you don't have to contribute if you don't want to you know. Why do gay people want to get married within a institution which fundamentally disagrees with what they're doing? Would you say the same thing about Catholics who use contraception? What about christians who eat shellfish and don't keep tidy beards? It's like me wanting to join the hunting the fox hunting club when I'm against shooting foxes. No it's not. It's like you wanting to join the fox hunting club but not being allowed to by law because your eyes are the wrong colour. If you're gay, tie the civil partnership knot, the church doesn't want you. Some churches do. And no I'm not a Christan, I'm an atheist, but if the Christians don't want to marry gay people, they shouldn't be made to. Who is trying to make them?

DYKWIA Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nothing much to strip away from your homophobia then is there. When did i say that they where my beliefs. Personally I have no problem with same sex marriage and don't see what all the fuss is about but clearly alot of people do. As I said you strip away religion and you get closer to people's true beliefs. " I think gays are icky................. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncocker Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It doesn't seem to say anything about marriage though, unless you're one of those people who thinks that marriage and sex are the same thing. so your one of those people that thinks christians get married not to have sex?

Aleksandr Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Because marriage gives an automatic entitlement to an awful lot of things that just aren't so if you're in a civil partnership or are just living together. Entitlement to being the presumed next of kin and therefore having to be consulted in medical decisions in the event that the other spouse is too ill to decide things for themselves, entitlement to inherit pensions etc. I'm sure there are other things too. Yes, these things can be got in other ways by signing and having witnessed a power of attorney document (in the case of the decisions) but why should people have to do that when everybody who is married gets it without any sort of special piece of paper? And on top of that, if you have a power of attorney you can demand to be heard, but nobody HAS to notify and consult you unless you ask to be, whereas if you were the married spouse it would be automatic. It's so much more complicated than having just sex. An awful lot of people feel the need to make a strong partnership with a declaration of intention in front of everybody who matters to them too. Then may be an open marriage is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Then may be an open marriage is the answer. If 2 people of the same sex live together, once David Cameron recognises marriage in the tax system, how much dosh will they get extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
