As I've said before, some people seem intent of cherry-picking the parts of the bible which suit their agenda, while dismissing others as open to interpretation or not to be taken literally. Until we address that fundamental hypocrisy, I don't see the church making any progress.Quote:

I am sorry you see me as trolling, I most certainly am not.
Yes, there aren't many other rights similarly denied — or any, come to think of it. It is somewhat infuriating that this particular right is denied on the basis of meaningless, semantic arguments relating to the Bible and suchlike, given that same-sex marriage would have no practical consequences whatsoever. As I said earlier, laws should only be made for practical reasons. This is not the case with the ban on same-sex marriage.Quote:

Should gay people, in your eyes, not be allowed to adopt or marry simply because people of the same sex cannot reproduce together? What is the end result of which you are so scared?Quote:

It's like me saying that you are inherently a poor father, or should not marry, based on some spurious notion.
