I dont agree. The bible says, and remember this is just what i believe, that a man should not lay down with another man,
If you are Jewish than that is an understandable sentiment. If you are Christian then that is an ignorant pile of BS. Homosexuality is prohibited in Laveticus. This prohibition is included with a great many ritual cleanliness laws that were related to the Covenent between YHWH and the Isrealites.

Therefor, if being homosexual is wrong, it is worse that a nation legalize it, considering that would make us all accountable ( i think?).
Spiritual authority and temporal authority don't mix well. When the temporal authority pretends to know the will of God it simply profanes God. When the spiritual authority pretends to know what is best for a society it only causes hardship and suffering. This is why the governments of most civilized nations are secular.

I also dont believe in it simply because It makes me angry. I am so sick and tired of homosexuals wollowing in thier own self pity, declaring that they do not have the same rights as i do. Exscuse me, since when is it legal that i marry a man? oh thats right, i cant. We have equal rights, i cannot marry a man, a man cannot marry me, just as a woman cant marry another woman.
By that logic, Jews has equal rights in Nazi Germany because Nazis would be sent to Concentration camps if they converted to Judaisim. The fact is that you don't want to marry a man and you are prefectly free to marry whomever you will want to marry.

And not only that, But marriage has been around for a very long time, and i realize that change is not always a bad thing, in this case it is. Homosexuals wish to change the constitution ( i believe thats where the laws of marriage are, if im wrong im sorry), inserting words and altering americas perception on marriage.
The Constitution doesn't say a motherfucking thing about marriage. It is neoconservatives and religious extremists who want a marriage Amendment.

They want legal rights, they want the state to recognize them as a couple, as legaly married, they want benefits. Well, If homosexuals are aloud to change words in the constition, whats to stop the bigomists from coming in and saying " hey, that got to change words, why cant we?" Sounds like a little kindergartner doesnt it? Well we as american are all spoiled, we are all kindergartners. America is a land of equality and fairness, for all. Yet, it seems to me that lately, its only about fairness for a few. If we open that door, we better be ready to welcome in the whole party. And i know what some of you are thinking "omg this asshole is an idiot, bigomists? what next beastilists? pedophiles?? stupid asshole your a hateful bigot". well im glad you(I) brought that up. See, if homosexuals are aloud to change the word woman to man, and man to woman, whats to stop bigomists from adding the words, man to woman to woman, or man to man to man? and pedophiles, man to child, woman to child? And then what? weve changed words already, how about adding some? man to horse? woman to dog? Yet agian i can just imagine what your thinking " OMG he took that seriously, animals? what a fucking douche? People can think and consent, animals cant" well thats true, we can think, but it seems lately we are choosing not too. If you were to tell someone 200 years ago that one day our streets would be filled with drugs, prostitutes, homosexuals, and machines capable of flight, they would have put you in an insane aslyum. We are experiancing a decay, a slow one, but a dangerous one.
The slippery slope argument? It goes both ways, you know. If we don't recognize homosexual marriage then we may just start to slide backwards and the next thing you know interracial marriage wil be illegal. Then All interfaith marriage will be illegal. Then they'll start outlawing certain religions.

We are losing our morals, our character, and what has held our country together for so long, fear of god and sin.
Fear of God? I always understood that the point was love of God. There is no sin when love is properly directed toward God. Fear is counterproductive.
