Poll: Would you support an amendment to ban gay marriages?

[Nab]

1. As an amendment this issue seems unimportant when put aside other amendements like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

2. People can live their lives as they want to.

3. Less competition for me

ban it

I'm LMAO here at some of you, who the hell do some of you think you are thinking that you can decide who can marry whom? Forget about the legal and religious aspects for a second. If two spiritual souls love each other (regardless of sexual orientation, get it?) and want to officially make the biggest earthly commitment towards each other, who the hell are you to say they can't? Marriage has no copyright, it is not a privelage, it never was - it's a god-given right - period.

It's about LOVE people, LOVE - if you don't agree with gay marriage then IMO you just don't understand nor respect the concept of LOVE. That's right, i'm sure this is offending to some people right now, but it's you that i'm speaking too then. If you do believe that there is a cosmic consciousness or GOD, or call it what you will; if you believe that your life has some sort of purpose, some reason then let me let you in on a little secret. It has to do with LOVE, whatever your faith or religion - if you want to evolve spiritually then perhaps you should try to be a little bit more open-minded.

Blah, blah, blah I don't know why i'm ranting? True insight and change comes from within, this is just my advice and most likely won't change anyone's opinion here on the issue, and i'm not trying too. Like I just said, change comes from within.

The law-makers of society.

being married as per whatever religion you belive in does not require the government put it's stamp of approval on it.

So do you support an amendment to define "marriage" as "a union between a man and a woman?"
Because that certainly sounds like the government putting a stamp of approval...

If YOU are a lawmaker, I hope you're from some place where I can start a petition to run you out of office at the first opportunity. Your religion is NOT the law of the land or any state within it. The legal state of marriage does NOT require your religion's stamp of approval on it.

I still say you, and those who spout your pseudo-relgious dogma, are narrow minded, bigoted wannbe despots. If your view is the best your religion has to offer, your so-called deity is hardly worthy of attention as an historical curiosity, let alone worship as a god.

If you want some real insight into sprirtuality, see VTrider's post:

It looks like it is an overwhelming ratio to ban gay marriage.

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Nope.

 

[Knightlife]

As long as people don't hurt other people, they can do whatever they want in their bedroom. Banning gay marriages is horribly stupid, in my opinion. We try to act like religion is not a part of our US government, but obviously all the religious conservatives still try to force their opinions on everyone else.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Definately.
