Nope, we always met outside on the play grounds.

Yep, completely different because here is no such thing.

Spirituality isn't necessarily related to practical effects.
Civil marriages can be ( and in time maybe they will be everywhere ) legalised by a human authority but nobody can impose a gay wedding to the clergy. In religion we don't have laws but dogmas.

I don't care one jot about 'the divine level'. It's meaningless to me.

I do not feel that forcing churches to allow same sex marriage is the correct thing to do.

Yes, if any other organisation was allowed to discriminate on grounds of sexuality it would be wrong. But I would like to give the church the chance to prove to us that it isn't inherently homophobic and intolerent. If certain churches refused weddings for same sex couples then I'm sure these cases would come to the attention of the media.

Yes, and thereby move on in line with society.

But do you honestly think the church would move on? After all, people still believe that it is acceptable to refuse to sell their bed and breakfast service to gay couples.

At some indeterminate point, I think the Church of England increasingly will.

I am thinking of opening a B&B in order solely to refuse entry to Conservative and UKIP voters.

But what if William Hague wanted to stay with his special advisor?

That would never happen, and I find it disgraceful that you would commit such a slur.

Sorry. It's a result of living in an absurd place.
But I hate normality anyway..... :laugh:

As for you: same stupid attitude as if anybody who don't share your opinion is a knobhead.
