A good thing with bad intentions is just as good as a good thing with good intentions.

A good/funny thing done for the wrong reasons is still a good/funny thing.

Because there are things that legally can't be done unless you're married. Like, if I were to be in a near-fatal crash, my girlfriend wouldn't be allowed back into the ICU or in some places even the ER, because she couldn't prove any relation to me.

There are many legal benfits from getting married.

Well I assume that's a reason to marry I guess.
want to marry with me?

Thats the second time ive been asked to get married on FJ, i must regretfully decline though

How bout me then?

Yeah no

Why am I always rejected?

It might be because you asked me to marry after 3 seconds, dont feel to bad about it

3 seconds? I've been stalking you for months...

but you probably are i wouldnt marry my stalker anyways

But i dont have children....

I stole DNA from you in your sleep.

I am madly in love with them. I shall enjoy consuming them greatly <3

Please do, it will only make me love you more, right?

lolidunno

If you're not lying thats flattering in the weirdest way

I appologize as that was intended for another comment. DISREGARD MY EXISTENCE

not only that but the inside layout would make for an epic Paintball course, you KNOW you want to.

I dont mean to start anything, but the Bible doesnt really say too much about Homosexuality. And its not even one of the ten commandments that opposite genders have to marry. So honestly the poeple who are saying its wrong are probably bad people to begin with as I bet none of them even read the Bible to begin with.

I am just tiered of everyone on the internet assuming us Christians are the bane of existence. Ya know, we arent all bad.

I'm not saying Christians are bad. Who I am calling bad are the homophobes who try to justify their phobia by pointing to the bible. Really, the bible is the only safe haven for homophobes much these days, and even it isn't holding up well anymore.

I have several friends who are Christians, and I do not think they are bad people. The people I think are bad are the ones that use the Bible to justify whatever messed up thing they want to do.

Agreed. And the parts that do condemn homosexuality, namely the passage in Leviticus (I forget the verse numbers) only apply to Hebrew priests of that time period. You'd have to do some deeper reading to see that, but most Christians that use this passage are too ignorant to do so. Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality at all, so I don't know where all the Christians think their arguments against homosexuality have any credibility beyond ignorance.

I agree with you that not all Christians are like this. But at the same time, homophobic people use Christianity and other religions as platforms for their bigoted views. They claim that in the bible this is how marriage should be, or in other holy books it's sinful to lie with the same gender. If religious institutions wanted to remove this platform, it would be well within their power to do so. Senior members of their faiths could correct them; they could make statements to the extent that what these people claim has no grounding in their religious institutions. But they do not.

Luckily, what simplescience is saying is true. These people are steadily losing ground to stand for, and for that I am optimistic.

Go to their website and complain about their website? Could be interesting.

It isn't a choice you halfwit. It's a neurological thing resulting from lower production levels of serotonin and other chemicals. Research has been done on lab rats showing that male's with lower levels of the serotonin were more likely to mount other males.
Homosexuality occurs in around 1,500 other species on the planet.

What the fuck kind of "ideals" are you talking about? "Don't shit yourself with rage whenever you see a gay couple"? Do you really think that having this ad will somehow make you gay?

So... people aren't allowed to express opinions you don't agree with?

Okay, I agree with your right to be black. But I don't want you shoving your ideals down my throat.

thats pretty much what i was thinking.

I don't think he was referring to the ads... i think he meant in general.

I hardly think they're shoving ideals on anyone. They just want the same rights the rest of us have, the fact they actually have to fight for it IS the problem.

This is why Anons should not be allowed to comment

Really? I haven't heard any gay people saying that god isn't real or that religion shouldn't exist. You call this "shoving down ideals down our throats"? If that's your logic, then I can say the same about religious advertising since its EVERYWHERE! They never did anything to you. Leave them alone.

That seems extremely hypocritical of you, you're not going to let others 'shove' ideals on you. But you have no problem shoving YOUR religious beliefs on the rest of the world. Do you see the contradiction there..?

Religion has been around for thousands of years, it's a well established organization, it's views are extremely well known, and for some reason it seems to always get it's way in real world issues. The point being you don't have to fight for your ideals, you're protected under the veil of religion, so everyone will tip toe around you and your views like you're made of china just in case they 'offend' you. But just because you're offended doesn't make you right. The gay community have to organise rallys etc to be heard, to get the rights they deserve as people.

The only reason marriage is religious is because society makes it so, just because society deems something doesn't always makes it right. Marriage doesn't have to religious, it can be a symbol of a couple who are ready to live with each until death parts them.

You're the bad guy because you are getting in the way of free will, speaking on the religious side, God created free will so man could do as he want and to learn from it and love is not limited between man and woman. You are arguing that God only meant marriage is between man and a woman but this is entirely contradictory, if God didn't want us to love and marry a fellow man then why does Free Will allow it? And if God has 1 golden rule it's to never get in the way of free will.

Speaking non-religious and from a moral stand point, it is immoral to tell strangers whom you have never met and most likely never will meet, whom they are allowed to marry and whom not to, you are taking away from what is their right as conscious human being with a conscious brain able to make conscious choices.
It is immoral to claim you are on a higher moral grounds just because you have a different opinion and more immoral to have a self-justified belief you are better than them only because you are heterosexual

Also i don't think you know what "Hypocrite" means

Marriage is with who ever you LOVE

Then keep your opinion to yourself, you only say it in a way to express anger, not in a peaceful manner. If you don't like it, then walk away since you're only bring harm to yourself.
