Bit has posted his ignorance and bigotry many times. None of it is any truer now than the first time he posted such foolishness. Bit THINKS he gets to define for ALL Americans what marriage is and has all kinds of other delusions based on his ignorance and his bigotry. Eugene couldnt care less about bits fantasies nor his stupidity

In this state, and 28 others, two same-same gender people are not married.

Forty-three states have laws that protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, including 30 with constitutional amendments.

So then you are ignorant and you are sick. Seek help NOW.

You have tried this idiocy before. Jesus was talking about divorce and never ONCE mentioned homosexuality. Face it you are ignorant and you are a bigot. It really is that simple

Because it makes bitbutt feel all icky and squirmy…?

Yes, I meant to write “comdemn”, not condone. My mistake.

Interesting that you gloss over the millions of opposite-opposite and same-opposite gender divorces annually to rally against the paltry few thousand same-same gender marriages. (To use Bitbits nomenclature.)

Kind of makes one wonder why you ignore the large number to complain about the smaller number?

To be fair though, he is staying true to his faith. His faith would value God’s rules above secular law. Democracy for them has no value other than as a tool to be exploited to impose a theocracy of their own design. These people don’t value secular democracy principles any farther than their utility in enforcing religious principles upon the rest of the population.

Which is why they scare the &@*!! out of me.

According to your belief system.
Then why do we need a secular law prohibited gay marriage? If God is against it and will punish it, then why do we as mere mortals do anything? Let those who hear his words, obey, and those who do not, suffer. Before you bring up your other nonsense about murder, theft, etc let me preempt that argument by repeating that these are crimes against man. Homosexuality, according to your belief system, is a crime against God. For the first set of crimes, we need secular laws and controls. For homosexuality, why can’t we just leave it to God?

In essence, bit insists that all of us should hold the same religious beliefs that bit does.

That, of course, in un-American, which may be why bit feels this nation is not worth preserving.

Let us all pray for Bitbit. Bitbit apparantly needs the help.

Do you mean condone or condemn? If you meant condemn, then bit vehemently condemns divorce. bit has even heard the answer to philosophical question about why divorce is wrong – from a Biblical viewpoint?

So, why is divorce wrong? Because you’re telling God that what He gave you isn’t good enough.
This is not something bit wants to tell the Creator.

You really ought to quote the part of Matthew 19 to which bit usually refers:
Matthew 19:

[3]And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?”
[4] He answered, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
[5] and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
[6] So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.”

bit understands that the Lord’s audience didn’t need to be told this is right, this is wrong, and this is wrong,..
Christ could teach them what the Creator’s intent was, and His audience would understand that the Creator had no other intent. Any sexual expression that varies from the Creator’s intent will have negative, indeed deadly, consequences.

The Bible also clearly states that Jews should not yoke themselves to non-believers, through marriage or business relationships. Should this be put into secular law?

Earlier bit alluded to the inability to truly change one’s mind through argument if that mind is dead-set on maintaining its belief.

bit provides ample evidence of this phenomenon.

How many non-Christians, including atheists,
give respect to and participate in marriage, understand the value of marriage, and just plain enjoy their marriage?

Want to ask any more leading and unaswerable questions?

As you may have noted bit has often said that, according to the Bible, marriage was instituted by God and is older than either religion or government.

Simply saying so does not make it true. Marriage predates written history, so we have no real record of when it began.

bit confuses “belief” with ‘facts” yet again.

bit seems to suggest that inclusion in the Bible makes a claim “factual”, rather than a matter of faith. For instance, bit claims that “marriage was instituted by God and is older than religion or government” as if it were a fact in the conventional sense — i. e., provable by objective means. In truth, the existence of God, let alone the form that God takes, is not a matter of factual inquiry but one of faith.

The fact that bit believes in his own form of God so fervently may make it seem to bit that this God is real and the only God, but it is still just a belief, not an objective fact.

This is the threat that bit fears most.

That’s not what bit fears the most.

As to the rest of your post try this question: How many non-Christians, including atheists,
give respect to and participate in marriage, understand the value of marriage, and just plain enjoy their marriage?

As you may have noted bit has often said that, according to the Bible, marriage was instituted by God and is older than either religion or government.

BTW, just so we’re both clear, one doesn’t believe in facts.

Let us all pray for Bitbit. Bitbit apparantly needs the help.

That is not the point, idiot. My comment was not about whether or not YOU or the state recognize anything. The point is your childish language.

Grow up.

No, but it indeed describes the conservative mindset perfectly. It means that no amount of factual evidence nor reasoned logic will enlighten someone who is determined to be wrong.

If you expect to be able to communicate with your fellow citizens via the written word, perhaps your first order of business ought to be a crash course in English composition.

Just a thought.
