A homosexual couple and a heterosexual couple are not the same thing. There is a huge diference. apparently not and pointing this out makes you a dictator and taker of freedom  One relationship can produce life, one cannot. Treating two different things as if they are different is not, by definition, discriminatiry. oh, yes it is
That's the anti-gay-marriage view, and it has some validity to me. But in the end, I have no issue with gay marriage. |
I don't think Eben read what I wrote, either that or it was just making a generalized statement which may or may not apply generally
I think you summed it up pretty well..........I'm not rabidly anti-gay marriage, probably more "evolving" on the issue like our president....and my feelings on the issue have little to do with my faith(as far as where they originate) but they do align to some extent....they are more to do with the fact that I've never seen anything to convinvince me that a+a or b+b = a+b.....my pause on the subject is that I simply don't or can't to this point, see the two as the same.....I do think it's obvious that many who feel this way have thown up their hands and said "just let them get married....I'm sick of hearing about it" helping along Spence's "public opinion vector" to some extent
I should note that due to the nature of my business I'm pretty confident that I've spent more time working and talking with gay singles and couples over the last 25 years that most of you combined...
I think there is both acceptance an accomodation that is possible without forever changing the most basic and fundamental arrangement from both evolutionary and creationist "common sense perspective"....
from experience...just as Spence pointed out that certain Christians are those out "protesting" the issue and others who might be like minded are silent or even fearful...I also think most homosexual folks are currently living their lives as they choose, enjoying freedom.... and probably don't like being defined by the more vocal activists and proponents
