President Obama finally "evolves" in his views on marriage equality.

..maybe he saw the words "HUFFington Post" ...

[Unchainme]

um...wow.

Even one of the fucking bush twins is on the side of gay marriage.

Someone who's dad pretty much won the 04 election over this crap.

when darth cheney, and someone from the bush family is to the left of you on an issue, it's time to give it up gop.

Since I'm already spending eternity in Hell, I should be the one to post this, so none of you have to risk your souls (yeah, like you're not all going to end up here anyway.....)

Being the son of a preacher man I know that Jesus never said anything about Homo's being bad ect....it is only religious leaders that like to make you think he did.

Oh Well, they lie and distort all parts of the bible for financial and power reasons.... The Masses are Asses.

President Barack Obama’s support of same-sex marriage, like blood in the water, has conservative sharks circling for a kill. In a nation that touts separation of religion and government, religious-based arguments command this battle. Lurking beneath anti-gay forays, you inevitably find religion and, above all, the Bible.

We now face religious jingoism, the imposition of personal beliefs on the whole pluralistic society. Worse still, these beliefs are irrational, just a fiction of blind conviction. Nowhere does the Bible actually oppose homosexuality.

In the past 60 years, we have learned more about sex, by far, than in preceding millennia. Is it likely that an ancient people, who thought the male was the basic biological model and the world flat, understood homosexuality as we do today? Could they have even addressed the questions about homosexuality that we grapple with today? Of course not.

Good post Sun..There are a few preachers who really want to lead a community and help that community find a common bond..and the money is only needed because of the worlds requirements.



Very few.

Organized religion brings more damned souls to Hell than any other single force on Earth.
I say, keep up the good work!

Campaigning on marriage equality with this deficit is about as relevant as campaigning for midgets to use stilts.

"...rather that worrying about something that has done absolutely no harm to societies through the ages?"

We need to get the facts straight.

Homosexual behavior not only seriously harms homosexuals individually, it harms society also. Let's start by looking at the health of people who engage in homosexual behavior:

People who practice homosexuality experience higher rates of many diseases, including:

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Hepatitis A, B and C
Gonorrhea
Syphillis
Gay Bowel syndrome
HIV/AIDS
Bacterial vaginosis

People who practice homosexuality have higher rates of:

Alcohol abuse
Drug abuse
Nicotine dependence
Depression
Suicide
Domestic violence (20 times more common than among heterosexuals)
Ah, but maybe these problems are the result of society's discrimination against homosexual people. Not true. If we look at places in which homosexuality is accepted, such as The Netherlands (gay marriage is legal there) and San Fransisco, we find that the greater the acceptance of homosexual behavior, the higher the rate of the above negative consequences. Accepting homosexual behavior makes it worse!

What about the effect of homosexual behavior on society?

In addition to a domestic violence rate that is 20 times higher than among heterosexuals, these are some of the negative effects homosexuality has on society:

Higher rates of child molestation*
(Nearly 1/3 of the child abuse cases are homosexual in nature, and homosexuals are only 3% of the population.)

Daughters of lesbian "parents" are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior and experience the consequences of that behavior.

In areas in which homosexual marriage has become accepted (The Netherlands and areas of Scandinavia, for example), the fundamental building block of society--the family--has fallen apart. In some of these areas as many as 80% of the children are born outside of a family.

Children of homosexual "parents" do the worst in 9 of 13 acedemic categories when compared with both married heterosexual couples and cohabitating couples.

Homosexual behavior is linked with higher rates of promiscuity, physical disease, mental illness, substance abuse, child sexual abuse and domestic violence--all things that impact society negatively. Don't try to say homosexual behavior doesn't hurt society--it is a major force that tears down society and harms children.

For more information I invite you to read a online paper titled: What's Wrong With Letting Same-Sex Couples Marry? LINK (Most of the information here comes from that paper, which includes scientific references to the source documents).

A link from "Evangelical.Us".... from the guy that accuses everyone ELSE of posting from bullshit sources... pathetic, even for YOU, Brie.

[Satan]

Not to mention the single most hateful thing ever posted on this site. If you substituted "Jews" for "Homosexuals" in that post, it would have read like something right out of Adolf's desk in 1933.

Just glanced through that website - the people that made it are borderline mentally ill and very very stupid.

They are clever enough to provide a paypal donation button though...

Um, facts? One is far more likely to transmit HPV via a heterosexual coupling. in fact there is an article posted here about straight males getting mouth cancer from it...
