>> I would say Severin that you are happy enough to breathe the air our Maker gives, to eat the food He has supplied.. <<

Wrong. I breathe oxygen because like all mammals and the majority of life on earth, I evolved to breathe oxygen. As for the food I eat, I earn money to pay the producers, the truck drivers, the cashiers and I also grow a few of my own veggies.

There is no big daddy in the sky.

However, there are people who have researched and understood the world around us in order for you to berate me or other people, over the internet, for not sharing your narrow-minded beliefs.

Consider that the farmer who grows your food might just be gay, or Hindu or even a Scientologist. The people who make your clothes are most likely Chinese peasants in sweatshops. Your car may have been assembled by Buddhists.

Fact is, all over the world are millions of people who do not interpret Christianity the same way you or are even, shock horror, Christian at all.

Grow up. And return to secondary school - your understanding of the world around you is appalling.

Oh I see Severin you came from slime

'Wrong. I breathe oxygen because like all mammals and the majority of life on earth, I evolved to breathe oxygen.'

With a belief like that it is no wonder you are often so nasty.

I would like to thank all on OLO for helping me to dig deep the wellsprings of my life. I started on OLO with little formal education and a brain starved of oxygen from a complete blockage of the carotid artery inside the brain. I believe if you do not use your intelligence or any body part you lose the use of it. I said all that to say this, if you truly want the truth you must organize your mind so through trial and error and the paradyne that the bible is truth I set my self the task of unraveling the mystery of the word of God.
1. I have found word usage and meanings change and to understand you have to get the original meaning, context,and culture of the time of writing not what we think it means today.
2. Gods word shall not return to him void but it does what he sent it to do. Read Isaiah chapter 55.
3. Jesus said love one another. Paul said in Tim 1:6 stick to the truth and sound instruction of Jesus, read the whole chapter and don't fight foolishly over words.
Get knowledge and seek wisdom for you gain personally and can make better life choices. Some people here use big words that I have never heard off, let alone use so instead of passing over them I now take the time to look them up. When someone tells you something please don,t always see it from the negative point of view for you miss the roses along life's journey.

I am an older heterosexual woman and I believe gay couples should be allowed to marry. Marriage these days is a legal union between two adults which confers legal rights and responsibilities on the two persons involved, ie inheritance, medical decisions, financial. Whether you have a marriage ceremony in a church, in front of a celebrant or in the Registry Office, you fill out the same government marriage registration forms. It has nothing to do with procreation, otherwise heterosexual couples past procreating age would not be able to be legally married. This sanctity of marriage hocus-pocus that some people espouse is past history. That argument might have held water back in the days when you couldn't divorce easily and defacto cohabiting was 'living in sin''. Times have moved on and so should our marriage laws to recognise ALL members of our society.

'Times have moved on and so should our marriage laws to recognise ALL members of our society.'

I take it you have no problem with a man having 5 wives so as to encompass ALL.

runner,

"With a belief like that it is no wonder you are so nasty."

The majority of your own replies fall far short of the sentiments and ethics you work so hard to promote.

Just an observation.
