Same sex marriage now constitutionally outlawed in North Carolina

[geekmarine]

What I find fascinating here is that we have religious people basically declaring war on the 1st Amendment. They want to make their religion's definition of marriage the official government definition of marriage, but they fail to see the problems they create. The whole point of the 1st Amendment is to protect freedom of religion by ensuring that the government does not endorse any one religion's views. They're saying, "Nope, I want the government to endorse one religion's views," without considering that maybe one day the government will endorse the views of another religion.

I mean, what if, say, Muslims wanted their definition of marriage to be the only one recognized by the government? These same people would lose their shit, but they don't see the precedent they are setting.

I honeslty couldn't give any less shit about it, and sick of seeing arguments from either stand point.

I don't care, at all, if two homosexuals want to marry, period.

This whole out break about it is just retarded.

They fail to see nothing; they WANT America to be a Christian nation. They want the constitution and bill of rights to be read through a Christian perspective. They fail to see that the constitution was written so the government could not scorn different faiths becasue that would be contrary to their agenda. They don't care what other religions want. Their opinion is: if you don't like it, move.

Sadly, they DO fail to see history for what it was. Back in the days when the constitution was still being written, Christians of all sects were not buddy-buddy. The Catholics were hatted by the WASPS and no other small denomination got a long. Only ONE Christianity was correct and the rest were heathens. They didn't have other deities and atheists to group up and fight. But then again, faiths were not this lame happy sing-a-long that evangelicalism has turned it into.

If the people who want equal rights actually voted, this would have never passed. Religious zealots are the ones that vote, not the rational people, sadly.

Yeah! They're all too busy smoking pot and thinking rationally.

[geekmarine]

Well, I realize that, Technician, I guess my point was more, as you stated, that they don't understand the historical significance of the First Amendment. It's like they don't even understand there are different denominations of Christianity, and even if you structure our country as a Christian one, your particular flavor of Christianity might not be the one represented by the government.

Classic moment, right here. My favorite part was when she spelled out P-E-N-I-S but straight-up said anus within three or four words.

At least she's not claiming they fist and eat the poo-poo.

Soapbox? This is stand-up comedy at it's best. She needs to go on tour.

It would be a grand day if this women was the ultimate troll trying to demonstrate the bat-shit anti-gay ideology.

[NiTROACTiVE]

Well that's complete bullshit. What's so bad about gay marriage? To me, gay marriage is no big deal because it tells us not everyone is born to marry the opposite sex and it should be allowed, even though I'm not gay.

Let's analyse that book the opponents to gay marriage are using right now.

That verse they love to throw out so much in Leviticus. 20:13. Yes, that one. THE ONE THEY DONT EVEN QUOTE FULLY. You want to know why?

“‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Woo.

When you back up your argument with a cherrypicked verse in your religious book that discusses who to kill, you're just an asshole.

Hell, we have enough of those "comedians" anyway... it might be time for a show on Comedy Central.

What on earth are you talking about? You don't think there are more than a few people out there that would gleefully praise the death of a gay person? Particularly if they felt it was justified by divine revelation?

I'd like to think most of America would wince in disgust, but I can imagine a huge hoe-down if it were enforced in a few Southern states.

And here are some of those very people.

The rest of that verse reveals the actual Christian agenda (yeah I said it) - after they get their way with banning gay marriage, then they'll ban public display of homosexual affection, and then they'll outlaw doing business with gays, affiliating with gays, etc. Then they'll herd gays into death camps euphemized as sexual "re-education" centers.

If you think it's too far-fetched, the ongoing efforts to pass "kill the gays" laws in several third-world countries are a direct result of efforts lead by the same people who are behind what's going on right here on our own soil.

These people are grade-A Hitler-style evil.

Muslim, Christian, all the same backwoods stuff to me.

They both hold the world back, and want people dead that harm no one but what both think is their "god" in their little heads.

DO you not remember reading reports of "mass celebration" in bible belt states when JFK was assassinated?

Or have they scrubbed that from history books?
These morons do not know piety.

Yeah, sadly a lot of the evangelical missionaries preaching homo-hate are of American or Catholic origin.

For those that don't know: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/Feb/28/black-magic/

"The campus erupted," recalled Ben Jobe, then a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, who is now featured in the film. "When I walked out of the classroom, the students were running through campus with rebel flags. I never dreamed that people would celebrate the assassination of a president."

My sister is a lesbian. Like turn women gay type of lesbian. She says gays should have something similar to marriage... but don't call it marriage. Call it warriage. Her gf finds that offensive and says gays should have marriage too and not call it warriage. My sister points out gays and lesbians are the same thing but they use different words to be special.

That is the funniest thing I've read in a while.

War -riage? Because it's a constant fight?

...yeah, how about we just call it marriage? Or perhaps "fuck buddies with tax breaks"?

Tax breaks and visitation rights in hospitals.

Also post-mortem transfers of pensions and life insurances. That's really important.
