What is your opinion?

[Dos Equis]

I have no desire to start a thread on the topic. For me it's pretty clear cut.
People are people, and deserve the same rights, priviledges and protections afforded to all citizens,
regardless of their lifestyle, (which can reasonably be argued falls under creed, and/or the pursuit of happiness.)

I just wanted to know why it was in Religion. Your explaination is a reasonable one and answered my question.

I can see an argument for lifestyle choices falling under the pursuit of happiness category.  What's the reasonable argument that lifestyle choices fall under creed?

[24KT]

Belief.

Isn't creed a religious belief?

Isn't creed a religious belief?

"Religious" is an adjective or an adverb when the suffix "ly" is applied, therefore, those who (religiously) engage in hot, sweaty, man love, could be considered as having inaliable rights protected under the constitution.

Glad I could clarify,

Thanks.  I think that's the definition most reasonable people use.

I for one think your reasonability is reasonably reasonable with in reason.

I s'pose that's a reasonable assessment of my reasonability, ...within reason ...but whadya really think?

Sometimes.  But hey, reasonable and unreasonable minds can disagree.

So, I see a definite correlation between things like bestiality, polygamy, and even incest.  Ever heard of the Man-Boy Love Association (or something like that)? 

I OBJECT!!!!

I'm curious as to why a thread debating Homosexual rights is on the religion board?

1 Corinthians 6:9
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders"

Romans 1:26-27
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

Leviticus 18:22
"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman. That is detestable"

1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Hello,
Any person who states their beliefs in contrary to their job/boss should be able to do so on their free time.

What two consenting adults do in their bedroom is their own business.

Any child that can be raised by two loving parents instead of growing up in foster care is a good thing.
In order for a legislation to change the law, people vote.  The majority of the vote wins.

The gay/lesbian groups are a very powerful bloc.  The politicians know who to butter up to for votes.

I believe that any groups "morals" shouldn't be forced down anyone's throat.

Morality of marriage?  The divorce rate is over 50%.  Where is the morality in that when you pledge until death do you part?
In the 21st century, you have many types of families.  Step parents/step kids.  Grand parents raising grandchilren.  Single family homes( mom or dads only)

Morality and religion are two different things.  If you believe in God and your neighbor believes in Allah, does that make your neighbor less moral than you?

You don't have to like gays, just don't discriminate against them.

Just my two cents.
Sandra

agree




psst...Allah is the arabic work for God...

other than that..agree!
