Do you believe that sky-diving is wrong?

I believe that Jesus would be more disappointed with you two Christians bickering with one another than he would be with two "good" men being "married".

You're reaching in trying to conflate that Jesus' statement had anything to do with homosexuality.

Tell that to the victims of Jonestown, Guyana.

Exactly. I take a bit further in saying that, I believe that we Christians should NOT use government to prevent homosexuals from being recognized by said government in same-sex marriage. I believe that, we as Christians should say "We believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. We...

I'm not sure that I follow your question. Please allow me to make an analogy. I personally believe that recreational sky-diving is immoral. Why? Because one is taking a wholly unnecessary risk with their life. However, I support that it is LEGAL to participate in such an activity. I can...

I don't know. For that matter, what did Jesus say about murder, rape, theft, extortion, kidnapping, etc.? I concede that my knowledge of the 4 gospels is lacking.

Thank you for the reasoned response. I created this thread to present a case for supporting the legality of same-sex marriage, albeit not its practice. Some here cannot, apparently, delineate the difference.

Of course. I submit to all of that. Serious question. Should we incarcerate people involved in immoral behavior, such as pre-marital sex, homosexual sex, worshiping a false "god", etc.?

I've addressed that repeatedly in this thread by pointing out that no one here would want to live under an Islamic theocracy. A theocracy ran by a man or a group of men (oligarchy) would be, fundamentally, a totalitarian regime and a police-state. One day we will live under a theocracy, but...

That reminds me of the argument that led to our involvement in the Vietnam War. If we don't stop it there, it will spread throughout southeast Asia and then throughout the entire world. It seems more common to hear of heterosexual couples having sex in public than it is for same-sex couples...

If you're being honest, don't you find it remarkable that, in the gospels of the 4 disciples, Jesus isn't quoted on anything pertaining to homosexuality?

I'm starting to get the feeling that engaging you is a fruitless effort. NOWHERE did I advocate for any behavior that defies God's wishes. I've simply expressed a willingness to permit others to live their lives as they like, provided they're not hurting another.

Again, pedophilia and human sacrifice victimizes an innocent third party. Worshiping another "god" does not. If you're saying that all of our laws need to be based on Christianity, then why stop at forbidding same-sex marriage? Why are you not advocating for changing the U.S. Constitution...

I said that I support the legality of same-sex marriage, not the practice itself.

I understand. I believe government should stick to building roads, running the defense department, etc. while staying out of the way of private citizens. I oppose their involvement in many things, including state marriage licenses. I oppose the concept of government imposing its moral views...

Let seculars be secular. As Jesus said, let the dead bury their dead. If some of our Christian friends had their way, there would be roving bands of religious police enforcing morality and locking up people who engage in pre-marital sex, etc. No thanks.

I'm a Buckeye and am outraged about the B1G's decision. I grew up in Columbus but have lived in central Florida the past 30 years.

I think that Trump is a patriot and felt a duty to be the champion of poor and average Americans. The establishment class of both major parties abandoned regular Americans.
