I think that prostitution is the oldest institution.awip2062 wrote:Yes, let's allow them to rent from us, have jobs in our businesses, go about life without worrying about being beaten, but please, let's not call it marriage thus changing the definition of an institution that is older than any other.

There is 0 scientific evidence to prove that gays are born that way, it is just an excuse to fuel their outrageous claims. Any studies done on the matter ahve been torn apart due to the absolutely ridiculous assumptions made to complete them, but it is easy to get to publish a paper that looks promising on a hot topic. It is the peer reviews to follow that matter most. Like the one from the 80's claiming that gay men had a smaller hypothalamus, potentially causing it. It was a process of lets take these corpses with this sympton and assume this! hey lets publish it.Xanadu wrote:I am not even going to go there, does it occur in nature, don't know anything about it.
I can't see how there are people who are born and raised in conservative Christian homes that "choose" to be gay. People say "its a choice, but also that they find something about the same sex that attracts them" My question is, what IS it that attracts them then? Gee, I think I'll ask gays, and what they tell me is simply they are attracted sexually to the same sex and not the opposite sex. In other words, they ARE just gay. Starts like it does for strait people, as kids when they get to a certain age they have a crush on somebody but whoops its on a person of the same sex. uh oh. How can they choose that, seriously come on. I'm sure there is some kind of biological explanation for it, something that happens during their development, or just a pair of genes that get expressed a certain way I dunno, I'm not a scientist. But I do know that improper nutrition seriously affects development, and how your body functions. So perhaps gays have some kind of problem with how they developed in the womb because of their mother's health and diet...who knows, maybe its a fluke, who know...but at least they should be treated equally because its not their fault.
Many sacred things have been diminished, scorned, desecrated, and trod upon by men. That doesn't mean they aren't sacred.Big Blue Owl wrote:
Why is everyone saying that marriage is so sacred and cherished. It's not as popular as divorce these days.
So true. Everyone has a soul mate...not every one finds them in their first relationship or marriage...perhaps some never do. I think will find them when you are spiritually ready.ElfDude wrote:Many sacred things have been diminished, scorned, desecrated, and trod upon by men. That doesn't mean they aren't sacred.

Indeed what Cyg said, you only get out what you put in. Hence why so many marriages fail. It doesn't matter how much one side tries , when it requires full effort from both.Big Blue Owl wrote:Congratulations, man!

I wasn't specifically talking about gays, just marriage in general. I am very very very spiritual and do believe in soulmates...you have many soul mates in a lifetime...and then there is "The" soul mateAs for soulmates Xan, more people will use that as an excuse than anything, I don't believe in that crap (I tease the lady saying a guy friend of mine is my soulmate actually)

Relationships take WORK. There are no guarantees, and no free rides.
