Christians, how exactly are gay marriages going to harm you?

Question

And why are you making such a big deal about it? I'm straight and I could care less if they get married.

Hey, if they want to get married and ruin their lives like us heterosexuals I say let them.

Answer 1

My dear, you KNOW you are asking the dumbest of the dumb to come out and play, don't you?



How many times do you have to read these moronic answers, such as "the bible says so", which utterly abdicates ALL responsibility for the hard work of actually THINKING, before you realize that fundamentalists are always going to be idiots?

Answer 2

morganie and angeltresses are both wrong - it is natural and normal plus it isn't gonna lead to people marrying kids or animals, some heteros already marry kids and animals yet these two bigots don't try condemning them

I don't have an issue with polygamy

it isn't immoral or against nature either

it's not a sin as the term "homosexual" was coined in 1869 so it can't be in the bible, the bible's been mistranslated and misunderstood

the christians who are homophobes don't have any way they can say it's gonna harm them as it doesn't

the slippery slope fallacy is wrong

heaven bound - it's homophobes like you who this questions was addressed to as it's mainly christians who are against gays

G C - - homosexuality, lesbianism and bisexuality is not perversion

Answer 3

Time for a actuality examine. Homosexuals do no longer "harm" Christians. i'm no longer even completely particular the place you got here up with that theory. genuine Christians have faith the Bible to be the word of God. You for sure do no longer, so that is not any longer stunning which you does no longer attitude this challenge from the comparable attitude we'd. someway, the belief-approximately "being gay" is often thrown around. The Bible does no longer make certainly one of those enormous distinction. that's the gay act it particularly is seen sinful. the present secular international view is they're "born that way"; subsequently they're incapable of combating themselves from indulging in gay acts. If we stumble on the next day that pedophilia is brought about via a defective gene, and thanks to that end they're "born that way" and incapable of combating their habit, ought to we enable pedophiles to prepare brazenly because of the fact they "won't be in a position of help themselves"? all of us have distinctive tendencies and temptations. some human beings have a predisposition to alcohol abuse, yet no longer all are alcoholics. some could have a predisposition to take different peoples' sources, yet no longer all are thieves. i do no longer hate homosexuals. i think of homosexuality is between the sins that Christ died for.

Answer 4

First of all, it is an abomination before God. (Remember, you specifically asked for a Christian response, not a "straight" response...and for Christians, pleasing God is the first priority.)



Next, I am concerned that my children and grandchildren not be taught that homosexual behavior is "natural" or "normal". They have enough to deal with in a world where morality is out dated and the pressure is on to throw good sense out the window and just do what feels good, where babies are a throw-away commodity, where divorce is rampant and infidelity is common, where a girl with a purity ring is mocked and laughed at, and where there really are places where it is becoming increasingly dangerous to be seen carrying a Bible.



Next, the rise of diseases associated with anal sex. I'm not talking about AIDS or any other common STD, here, but of infections carried in human excrement. Did you know that hospitals are seeing a rise in dangerous, virtually untreatable staph infection? How do you know if that gay guy you just saw snuggling with his "life partner" at the mall isn't carrying staph? You don't. How do you know that he wasn't sitting on the very bench you just put your behind in? You don't...but it wouldn't matter, anyhow, because the bacteria are air borne.

Wouldn't it be ironic if it weren't the dreaded bird flu that takes us out...but the quiet, deadly little staph germ? "Not with a bang, but with a whimper"?

Yeah, now that aspect DOES affect me, directly...as a dear friend of mine actually died of this deadly disease. Was he gay? No. But his brother was. Coincidence? Maybe. Who knows? The brother is also dead, and I don't know if he died of the same disease or not...but the mother also had it and died.



And finally, don't set Morganie's post aside so blithely. Once you redefine marriage, who is to say where the definition ends? If a man can marry a man, why can't he marry his uncle? Why not? They are in love, and isn't that the point? Why not two men? Or one man and one woman? He loves them both, and they love him...and, as you tell us, a person loves whom they love. They want the right to make medical decisions for each other and what not...and who are you to say they can't have it? Are you a bigot? So what if one of the parties is only fourteen? In his or her state, the marriage is legal if the parents sign for it, and if they are willing, who are you to say nay? Heck, why have the parents sign at all...if they can have free condoms at twelve, surely they are old enough to decide when they are in love, and who are you to decide how old a person has to be to be in love anyhow? Why can't he marry his goat? He loves his goat, and his goat loves him...it is obvious by the way it craves his touch, even backing up to him and rubbing up against him suggestively. Who are you to say the goat isn't happy? Are you a goat hater??

You see how that works? Once you break down that barrier, there is no putting it back up again. And there is no telling just what else might be hiding "in the closet"...

Answer 5

Throughout history the union of positive and negative, male and female, upper and lower has been described in terms of marriage. The Church is the Bride of Christ, in Islamic and Jewish poetry the mystical union of God with people is described in terms of marriage, in Vedic Chakra systems the union of positive and negative energy is described as a marriage, in the ancient mysteries it is the same thing, over and over and over. The opposite poles of magnets attract. From the atomic level on up everything is held together because of an attraction between negative and positive. Marriage is not about joining a man to man or woman to woman. This is spiritual truth. The powers that be, and this is not necessarily the Christians that be, will, in the long run never allow gay marriage to gain or hold ground. Right now the only reasons we hear of it is that it is something new politically to talk about, though it is getting old real fast; it allows has-been movie stars to get needed publicity, and lawyers like the money.

Answer 6

Hey Fundies >If marriage is so damned sacred then how come you guys let two heterosexual drunks/druggies get married ?

History tells us that in time those drunks/druggies will eventually have fights in front of the kids and that the local PD will be on a first name basis with the couple in question as will the local DCFS

Is that what your god had in mind when he decided that marriage should be between one man and one woman ?

I say let gay people get married , wish them well and hope that they will be more successful in their marriages than many of us were in ours

Answer 7

Listen, you seem like a smart guy. But I have something to sayy.



Not all christians are against gay marriages.

Stated in the Bible it DOES say that God does not allow gays. However, I am a true christian, but I would never get upset over gays. I think gay marriages are just fine, and don't bother me.



LOVE IS LOVE. rather it's two girls, or two guys. You cannot control you're feelings about a person. :)

Answer 8

Well let me say this, I live in the Uk and gay/lesbian have been able to marry for a few years now here (civil) isn't a big focus on it and personally it's up to them, I am not any ones judge and jury it's their life's.

Answer 9

Well see I am straight but I might be a guest or crash the wedding and if I did I might get food poisoning from all the that really fancy "gay" food and end up in the hospital. I couldn't go to church or work to feed my own family and then we'd have to go on welfare, and it would really mess us up. Plus the Republicans would kick me out of their party if I had to go on welfare.

Answer 10

You are making the assumption that everyone makes moral decisions based on HOW IT HARMS THEM PERSONALLY.



Perhaps that is how YOU make decisions as to what is moral/ethical. But isn't that a bit self-centered?



Many religious faiths have a different standard: they teach that morality should be based upon what God says about a matter, because they consider God to be the creator.



Secondly, isn't it also rather narcissistic that just because YOU consider a matter trivial -- apparently because it doesn't impact YOU personally -- therefore EVERYBODY should throw away their ethical system based on what they consider to be God's view on the matter?



Fortunately, most of the planet doesn't look to you in determining their moral standards. Indeed, they don't even look to THEMSELVES for the basis of their morality.



"And in those days every man did what they thought right in their own eyes."

Answer 11

they all are just a bunch of close minded , bigots who use the book of fiction - the so called bible to prove their point cause they cant think of anything on their own







yey for gays im 100% for gay marriage and adoption

Answer 12

Bigots. I'm done trying to type out the mindset behind Christians. There is no reason that homosexual marriage should be illegal in the land of the free.



Christ.

Answer 13

it's not a big deal. i only hate the action they did, trying to change their gender and i pity them that decides to be gay. why? women even complain of their monthly periods and here the gays wanted to be women!



and women be proud of themselves as women for they are the mother of human race. Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them

Answer 14

Morganie6's answer is ridiculous because she doesn't bother to explain how gay marriage leads to any of those things.

Answer 15

it doesn't do anything and morgaine child marriage and all the other stuff you put how dose any of that relate to gay marriage oh right it doesn't

Answer 16

well craig, it is because most people hate the fact that there are others that are different . i am straight of course , but im just saying.

Answer 17

You are the one who keeps bringing up gay this and that. So it is quite clear that the issue bothers you and not us Christians. It sounds as if God is convicting your heart to repent. Go for it!

Answer 18

in no way.

@Morganie6: child marriage is typically in no way love or even emotion just influence same incest in many cases it is almost always "i love him because he says i should" and bestiality causes STDs.



polygamy, /shrug not for me but i see no real problem with it.

Answer 19

It doesn't. I could care less, until it affects my state. Myself as a Catholic Christian am called to oppose all immoral things.

Answer 20

Perversion is not allowed in society. but, the reality is, why is anything wrong? All wrong is exposed only from the standard of the Bible.

Answer 21

as chrisians it is our duty to help others get to heaven, and if you are gay and get married i believe you cant. its against the Good Book. so, thts why we make a big deal of it.

Answer 22

It's another bite off of the morality of our social fabric and if it keeps going like this our countries are going to end up like the Hebrews in the book of Judges. In those days everybody did what they thought was right in their own mind.

Answer 23

It is the physical emanation of sin. Sin personified.

Answer 24

they'll get aids from it dummy. geez, that's what reagan and republicans and fundamentalists told me. and i believe it. i don't want to think for myself. screw books. screw history. i want propaganda and lies baby!

Answer 25

It is against the nature of God. It is also against nature. Apparently you do not have children. So who cares about you?

Answer 26

not this again....WRONG BOARD

WE WONT CONDONE SINNING SO DONT ASK.....GOD MAKES THE RULES... it isnt good for families....it is sinning....

JUDGMENT DAY WILL COME...

Answer 27

its a sin and immoral



it harms are society

Answer 28

It is a sin..romans 1:26-28..that's why
