Of course God is cool with gay marriage.
I can't understand why all the fuss by
certain people and why they see it as an
attack on heterosexual marriage. There isn't
a limited amount of love on this planet.
It isn't a non-renewable resource. If Lynn and Ann
or Michael and Peter love each other, it
doesn't mean that Ben and Leah can't.

BTW: - My sexual preference is - often!

I would like to put it to Cardinal Pell (who did little to advance the Catholic cause on Q & A last night) and the Catholic bishops of Victoria that they would be far better sending letters to their flock urging them to abstain from gay marriage, rather than trying to meddle in politics. The Church (and I say this as a Catholic) has no place interfering in secular politics - that's the joy of living in a nation that is largely secular and in which the church and state are ostensibly separate.

We Catholics apparently count for about a quarter of the population. If the numbers who attended the Good Friday service I went to are anything to go by, the reality is a lot smaller. It's time the bishops looked to instruct their flock, opened their doors to welcome outsiders but did not attempt to dictate to those to whom they are entirely irrelevant. They're welcome to their view that homosexuality is wrong (and hell, they can back it up quite reasonably with Biblical reasoning), and they're welcome to share that view with the world; they should not - more than that, have no right to - force that view on anyone. Those days are over.

For me I just want people to be happy. I would hate it if someone I knew and cared for wanted to marry and couldn't. I can't wait for the rules to change.

Understand the science behind a sexual union before endeavoring to support same sex as marriage. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman that is blessed by God for the nurture and security of their own children.
Adultery does not mean having a lifelong affection for a person of the opposite gender to whom one is not married. What does adultery mean to a married couple? It means sperm has entered into the womb of a wife of another man and adulterated the possible offspring of the husband. So the husband has every right to divorce her.

Sodom was the name of a city in OT, is never rape in Hebrew thought Sodom was known for the unclean practise of anal sex between men. The Bible never supports anal sex but constantly condemns it as unclean. It is a health cure as it is today in underdeveloped comunities. I know of several homosexual men among my aquaintances who have died of AIDS and affected by hepatitus in their late 30 early 40s died. One whose funeral I attended last year.

It is evident the homosexual [same sex note sex] want to deny their practise to the wider community so they major on its denial for what it scientifically exists for, i.e. the procreation of children. Any children involved after their supposed marriage in their relationship is not a product of their relationship, so if they call their relationship marriage then children can only be technically from an adultrous relationship.

Well this has to be the most twisted article about God being cool with gay marriage. For a start the basis of reasoning is flawed because it doesn't reflect God's actual consent to gay marriage. Plus the questioning of the most important part about gays in scripture has been taken out of context in this article further proving that this author knows nothing about scripture or it's meanings. I think this author would be best to dump his head in a cold bucket of water and forget even mentioning the debate in such a whimpy manner.

All this talk of the desirable family structure and which sexual positions are healthy or otherwise, is totally irrelevant: if God said 'NO', than it's a NO. Period, regardless of whether the prohibition makes sense or whether it is natural or not.

I personally do not accept the divinity of the bible, but for those who do, it must be remembered that the Leviticus laws and prohibitions were given to the Jewish people, not to everyone: those who consider themselves bound by them should also eat only kosher foods and abide by many other rules which they currently don't.

Having said that, it still makes sense for most people who want to come closer to God, to have their sexuality take the back-seat rather than be the force that dictates their lives.
