@Momiji:
A Person's religious beliefs shouldn't be called wrong. Marriage has been between men and women for thousands of years.
Why not just come out with something new. Its easier, its quicker and its a good way to compromise. Changing the laws on Civil Unions so it gives marriage like status would be better then just going for marriage.
I'm not trying to offend, but really is it that bad just compromising and either living together without special status, or trying for a similar status through something that is unique to the gay community?
Why must something held sacred by many be stolen and ruined? If you want a kid and have the ability to make one, do you steal the child of someone else? No you have sex and make a new child. Its a lot easier and religiously and legally more appealing.
Now a rant or something that gives insight to my beliefs and way of thinking and outlook on life. Do I come off as a cynic?
Marriage isn't Marriage Anymore:I don't like the idea of the word Marriage being used for the coupling of same sex couples. I don't even like the word being used now a days when the law regulates it.
True marriage is between a man and woman, under the church and god. Not something you should be able to do in a F**kin drive-thru. Pay at the first window, then drive on through is not true marriage.
Marriage is already being bastardized by the government and its laws, and places like Las Vegas.
Marriage is suffering enough when a man and woman can't get married and be called man an wife because some assholes in DC decided to side step what the pilgrims came to this land.
America was founded for Religious freedom, and State and church was to remain separate. When the hell. and how the hell could people over look how Uncle Sam decided to make profit off a sacred ceremony. Unless you feel out paper work; your ceremony doesn't matter because you're not believed to be married by the state/country.
Its only in the last century or so that everything had to be made legal for
TAX purposes.
Common Law Marriage, and how Marrige use to be:There was a time when people only had to live together for so long to be given marriage (like?) status. I have a number of aunts who never married my uncles, but were considered married to them through common law.
I think the churches should take back marriage as a religious right, and stop the government from intervening.
My great grandmother was legally divorced from my great grandfather, but because she was catholic she was still married to him in the church. She even was still legally allowed to collect widows pension and stuff when he died.
The True Push Behind Gay Marriage:The real push behind this gay marriage is because same sex couples know that the churches are closed off to them in terms of marrige. So a bunch of activist are taking the cowards way around this, and trying to sweet talk uncle sam who shouldn't have a say one way or another.
All This Protesting isn't Just to get Married:Legal rights to be married is one thing, but another thing i can't help but hear Gay right activist say is that they want the
"SAME RIGHTS AS MARRIED COUPLES"Me and a gay friend came up with a list of things you can get when married, and much of it is just Frivous BS.
Our list was
joint filing (TAXES!!!!)
government aid
healthcare benefits
medicare benefits
adoption made easier
then some other crap too dumb to remember.
Doesn't Matter if your Married or not, Its Administrative NOT Legislative:Really most of the crap that gay right activist say they want has nothing to do with the law.
Right to see partner in hospital: Who regulates that? hospital worried about insurance issues with letting non-family visit, or uncle sam?
Some of that stuff is ran by government agencies, but that is still administrative crap not legislative.
A Gay couple want to get on hud, might be possible (not sure) but being
legally marriedWhen you think about it, churches have their own administrative things that prevents gays from having what they want. The problem is people think its so easy to get what they want through legislation instead of trying to change Administration policies.
Closing:If people want to get married, gay or not; i think they should do some research on what it really is. Maybe decide if they are ready for it, and if they're doing it for the right reasons.
Marriage isn't something you should just be allowed to do when you want. Its something that is meant to bind your soul with someone else's spiritually.
If you don't truly believe do you truly deserve to take part in the ceremony? If you can't devote yourself to the other person without gaining something do you truly deserve to take part in the ceremony?
People are so greedy and quick to b***h that they fail to think for one moment; "What do i want, and do i really deserve it?"
Now before someone tries to twist my words or lack of, i'll say this. I'm not saying same sex couples don't deserve anything, but Marriage in its true original intended form is not deserved by them, nor many of the people who get married today.
We live in a world that has taken something beautiful, and vandalized it. All it takes is a large group of people to become a religion, and they're authorized by the government to be able to marry followers.
Marriage shouldn't be something that can be so easily done; that a bunch of fools who pay for info on their own "religion" founded by a sci-fi writer should be able to give each other that status.
Comedy:Now if gays made a religion like idk Gaytology, I'd convert and join it before i joined Scientology.
I'd be wanking off to the hot lesbian reverend in the bathroom, and praying to
Gay God that what just popped through the stall wall isn't what i think it is.
rofl Or would I?
