  Implications of gay marriage ruling

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. social
  2. current

  while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

  but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

  five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

  "I'm of the opinion that the government should have absolutely nothing to say about marriage between consenting adults at all.

  "its none of their damn business"

  Who would decide child custody cases and divorce disputes over property?

  "I bet the WT places ads for older pubs every so often so they can get as much of these off the streets as possible."

  I went to a used bookstore once in search of wt literature and they told me that men from the religion would occasionally come by and take the older books while donating newer ones.

  Here is a temperature map from February 2015 courtesy of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies which shows how the temperatures were distributed. 97% were temperatures that were as warm, warmer or much hotter than average.

  The graph at the bottom of the map is measured in degrees Celsius (1Celsius = 1.8 Fahrenheit). On the map you will find Alaska and Siberia were 7.2 - 15.48F warmer than in the past. Ironically the temperatures for that month were colder than average for 3% of the globe which included 1/3 of the United States.

  I'm going to crosspost this from the jumpsuit thread:

  Religious News Service:

  Some county officials in Southern states — including Cleburne County Clerk Dana Guffey in Heber Springs, Ark.; Decatur County Clerk Gwen Pope and two others in Decaturville, Tenn.; and Rusk County Clerk Joyce Lewis-Kugle in Henderson, Texas — have resigned rather than issue licenses to same-sex couples. Alabama law says county probate judges in the state “may” issue marriage licenses, so some counties have ceased providing the service.

  That's the example to follow.

  "It would be hypocritical of me to lambast the Watchtower society, and then turn around and embrace this movement, for it stands against everything I hold dear--freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc etc."

  You and those like you remind me of the Confederates who went to war because they wanted the freedom to take other people's freedoms away. After decades of being verbally bullied, harassed at their jobs even beaten and raped (a lesbian) gays are now getting the freedom they deserve.

  Too bad for you and your fellow worshippers of your demon god.

  What I don't understand Junction-Guy is why you wanted to platonically befriend Gay men in the first place.

  OUTLAW:

  "Junction-Guy spent a lot of time wondering if he was gay or not.."

  Junction-Guy:

  "Yes, Outlaw you are correct. I realized that I had been duped into thinking that. The Gaystapo (on here and elsewhere) convinced me otherwise. I had to take a stand for right or wrong, so I chose the biblical path."

  So you're a Christian with personal gay issues and now you've chosen to condemn others like you.

  You've still not answering a question about the application of the Old Testament outside of ancient Israel. You do know that Leviticus is constantly being cited by Fundamentalist Christians to support their anti-gay agenda.
