I prefer to see guys turn homosexual and marry each other, because it leaves more women for me, but I’m opposed to lesbianism. I am very romantic.

i am sure all the corporations in cali are looking forward to footing the bill for all those extra benis.

I am also for churches rights to maintain their beliefs.

See, that’s what is really messed up about you right-wing, fundie, extremists. You think denying churches the right to perform marriages for whomever they please is maintaining churches rights.

You, like all Republican extremists have a very strange idea about rights. Rights cannot be maintained by denying rights.

Prytania Says:

I am for civil unions. I am also for churches rights to maintain their beliefs. Both sides win with civil unions.

Then why does the Catholic Church oppose civil unions?

I think based on my understanding of catholism, I think they will just have to say they are sorry and do some silly prescribed rigmarole and they’ll be back on the streets. If they are lucky they will get Father Rivera

Prytania Says:
We live in a sue happy society Ralph. So, you don’t believe there will be gay couples seeking to get married in catholic churches? You are naive if you think they wont. And what will they do when denied Ralph?

I don’t usually call other posters, even trolls, idiots, but you, madam, are an idiot.

Have you ever heard of any gay couple suing the Catholic church for the right to marry?

No? Then STFU.

I know wingnuts have been struggling mightily to merge church and state, but so far, you haven’t fully succeeded, and government has no power to dictate a church’s rituals or beliefs, nor to compel it to alter its sacraments.

If you can provide a single example of such a thing happening, then you’ve got something to argue. Until then, all you’ve got going for you is homophobic paranoia.

As for your lame-in-the-extreme argument that the Catholic Church is against same-sex marriage because it fears being forced to perform gay wedding massess, perhaps you also think that the Catholic Church opposes abortion because it fears being forced to perform abortions in monasteries? The logic, or lack of it, is exactly the same.

Prytania Says:

It will affect the church. You will have a gay couple that is catholic requesting to get married in a catholic church. When they are denied, they will sue.

It’s clear that you’re not that bright, but do you HAVE to throw out talking points that are so obviously uninformed?

Is that all you’ve got, or are you really that ridiculously stupid?

If the law is allowed to stand as written, gay marriage laws will force the various religons that do not believe in same sex marriages to marry gay couples in their places of worship.

As usual, the wingnut has it backwards. No church is currently forced to marry anyone. For instance, Catholic churches do not perform marriages between two Baptists, and no one tries to force them to do so.

On the contrary, the government has long interfered by forbidding churches to marry gays. Now that government interference has been removed in California, gay people will simply find a church which is willing to perform the ceremony, just like heteros do now.

I mean, you may be uniformed, I don’t know. Maybe you’re a police officer. You’d certainly be uniformed in that case. Or maybe you work in McDonald’s.

But you are most definitely unINformed regarding this ruling and what it means.

Prytania Says:
If the law is allowed to stand as written, gay marriage laws will force the various religons that do not believe in same sex marriages to marry gay couples in their places of worship.

This is complete and utter bullsh!t.

The ruling has nothing to do with religious marriage ceremonies. You are uniformed.

I think I will give my wife of 30 years a big hug and a kiss, then tell her ‘I love her’ when I get home tonight.

Marriage is simply a legal contract.

Where the HELL in our Constitution are gays prohibited from entering into contracts…?

Get the stupid religious freaknuts the HELL out of my life.
