Comments on: You Are Now Pronounced Party A And Party B

Longtime Partners, And Opponents Of Same-Sex Marriage, Prepare For California's Historic Law

[rrjgy39jkjlk]

nofearquers, the potential for abuse lies with every facet of society, this includes marriage between a man and a woman. Although against the law, people still attempt to profit off of getting married (man&woman). However, it''s such a small number that the abuse is hardly noticed. Legislation will likely be passed to address this same potential for abuse as it has for everything else. Therefore, your concern about the potential for abuse does not warrant/justify eliminating same-*** marriage. I can think of many more issues that are actually harming this country - such as bigotry.

I''m not a homosexual, but I support equality.

The bible also says, in Deuteronomy:

%u2022 It is an abomination to wear clothes of mixed fibers (cotton/polyester blends are the most popular fabric today);

%u2022 It is an abomination to eat pork;

%u2022 It is an abomination to eat shell fish;

%u2022 It is an abomination to drink milk;

%u2022 It is an abomination to have a blood transfusion;

%u2022 Leviticus 20:10 says that %u201CIf a man commits adultery with another man''s wife that both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.%u201D

%u2022 "If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has discovered her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from her people." (Leviticus 20:18)

Imagine what would happen today if we deported every man and woman who had ever had *** together while the woman was having her period.

%u2022 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves." (Leviticus 25:44-45)

"A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be stoned to death." (Deut 22:13-21)

Why then did the Christian world go to arms about the proposed stoning of an Iranian woman who was accused of having a child out of wedlock?

If your neighbor insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.

Exodus 21:7 says that you may sell my daughter into slavery.

And more.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what would be a fair price?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Clarify?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don%u2019t agree. Please settle this.

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a sight defect. I do wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room?

That has got to be the funniest post of today. ROFLMAO! But I do see your point

[aggiekat2004]

Besides, the incidence of unwanted teen pregnancy with gay couples is very low...

Perhaps this is the solution to world overpopulation!

[aggiekat2004]

Yeah, you don''t usually see gay guys and lesbians b*itch-slapping each other in the street or problems with the whole "baby''s momma" phenomenon...

Seems like a more peaceful existence, for the most part. Most gay couples I know are in long-term relationships...more stable than most of the heterosexual couples I know.

[ksrb1]

...and besides, why should gay couples get all the advantages of love without the PITAs of divorce, tax problems, pre-nups, bank-breaking receptions, bridezillas, and child custody? Let them dive into the worry, suffering and misery with the rest of us! The more the merrier - or more miserable.

Giddy 2000 wrote "Why is that so hard to understand that homosexuality is NOT "natural". It isn''''t natural and there will be no way to make it natural... Homosexuality is the total denial of the very basic scientific facts."

Actually, if you read science at all, you would know that homosexual unions are extremely common among other species as well as humans. And not just wham-bam incidental sexual behavior, but long-lasting, obviously loving unions, as well.

Welcome to the world as it is, not as idiot bigots would prefer it to be.

[gmond]

Marriage is a legal contract that legitimizes a union, giving each party rights to the other''s property and benefits. Religion has nothing to do with it.

[abigail70]

Good grief. Enough about gay marriage. Move to California, get married, and stay there. Just please **** about it.

[hypnotoad72]

Hypnotoad''''s been obsessing over those balloons for weeks now. Hyp, try not to think about them so much, ok?

If they were female parts I''d complain all the same. And you''re right; they''re none of my concern or business. I''ll try not to get wound up in these pretentious wedge issues any longer; others can speak of their "lifestyle" without me. On both sides.
