This being said, why
should homosexuals have the right to marry? It seems to me that if there is no mental connection, if it's mostly based on phycial liking, and the relationship only considered because of sexual attraction, then why get married? It sounds like most homosexual relationships are based on physical desires and weak wills.
You there, fairly conservative yet intelligent Gaian.
How many gay people do you know? o_O?
I mean, not the Queer Eye guys... real life gay people. Preferably in relationships.
Of course relationships are based on physical attraction. I'm sure every straight romantic relationship you've had has been, at least in part, physical.
If a relationship is simply a mental connection, then why can't it be fluid? Mental connections are the same for boys as they are for girls, so based on that theory why are you more likely to be attracted to boys than girls?
I'd like some evidence that I'm not madly in love with my fiancee and that our relationship is solely physical? I can easily prove the opposite by simply not touching her and remaining in love with her.

A lot of stuff. It'd really be cluttered if I left it here
Okay, your turn.
You're right. You will not change my mind. I doubt I will change yours, either. I'm not that bleeding naive.... but that doesn't mean I'm not up for the occasional debate. I enjoy this and since it's something I am so deeply attached to I'm going to do this.
But that isn't just because of my opinion, it's because I'm experiencing this situation. I am female and in love with a woman. I have faith that it isn't wrong because of what I feel in my soul, or something. I don't think I'm closed minded, and I'm not going to say you are either. I, unlike MANY fevent nonchristians my age, have read the bible the entire way through. I agree with a lot of the stuff Jesus said, but I don't really agree with a lot of the other stuff. This is why I'm not a Christian.
But that's not why I'm here.
There are absolute truths, and God's existence and authority are among them. You can say the sky is red with purple polka-dots, but it'll still be blue, and God'll still be God.No. No no no no no.
If you take a hundred preschool children of all cultures, nationalities, and religions out on the playground, set up a pallete of colours and had them point to the colour that was closest to what the sky was like, on a clear day the vast majority of those children would point to some shade of blue.
If I heard those same children back into their classrooms with a pen and crayons and told them to draw and write something about their respective religious deity you would probably get AT LEAST ten variations and quite a few kids in our day and age who wouldn't know what the ******** to draw and would just sit over their desks and crying because they don't want to get a bad grade.
God is -not- a scientific fact. Sorry toots. God cannot be:
a) Observed
b) Reproduced
c) Peer reviewed
d) Mathmatically proven
e) Published as a factual identity in any respectable scientific journal
Because outside of the bible, there is no proof that your God exists. He does not come down and talk to us anymore. God has been written about, but so has The Incredible Hulk. You cannot reproduce The Incredible Hulk, either.
I won't sit here and profess that God doesn't exist, because guess what honey? There's no actual proof for the lack of God, either, because we have not looked everywhere yet!
What you have is faith. Faith isn't bad, but it shouldn't be pushed off as fact. Wouldn't you be a bit annoyed if (insert religious domination you do not believe in here) told you that you had to do a solid fast a month out of the year and because they believe it to be their religious law and they hold a small majority in the country they enforced it as a law?
I'm sorry if I flipped out. That's always bothered me. When I was little they had me do fact and opinion flash cards often. I get annoyed when any belief/subject of faith/propaganda from either side is pushed off as an absolute truth. I can't say you're wrong, because that's an opinion. I'm going to say that you can't really prove you're right.
