diver dan:

I get it. You live in your own little world. That's ok. They know you there. Stick to it - you're out of your depth elsewhere.

cont'd ...

As for losing a debate? - I'd have to be equally matched for that to happen. What have you contributed to this discussion? You could at least try to address some of the issues of this thread if you want to be taken seriously. Kindly re-read my earlier posts.

Diver Dan, bite your tongue!
Lexi never loses a debate, she merely out-classes all who cross her, by being probably the most rational person on this site.
But by all means, keep trying. :)

AGIR<"Gay people,Racist people.Nazi people.Murderers.Child molestors

Do each of those have the same 'rights' to be or pursue their chosen lifestyle? if not...why not ?"

Are you seriously asking that question?
All the above people , except the 'Gay people', can be tried and punished for breaking laws if they commit those vile acts.
The last time I looked, homosexuality was not a crime (except maybe in a bigot's small mind).

AGIR, you keep trotting out quotes from the old bible to prove your misguided views.
If you want to follow an old book written over two thousand years ago by several men 'claiming' to have heard it all from their God, then you go right ahead. You are certainly free to do so.

Please agir, don't assume I care about that book at all though.
I prefer to use my own brain, and exercise my right to freedom of speech.

Lexi:

Mybe we can fit ourselves into this “oronym” appropriately Lexi.

The stuffy nose can lead to problems.
The stuff he knows can lead to problems.

I just wanted to say that I support the Muehlenberg article. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and homosexuality in general is an abomination. Always has been, always will be. It is a concern that some people think that gay "marriage" is ok. My brother is looking for a "husband". Yes, actually marriage that is defined by the Maker is a "good thing", that's why we have it His way. That's why we don't "marry" animals or shoes. True, mixed marriages weren't "traditional" years ago yet God has removed alot of racist ideas from human-imposed traditions and has brought many people from all over the world together. Creating our own Law is welcoming disaster. Think of Moses and the golden calf. The people Moses was leading decided to worship an idol when Moses was spending time with the Lord and when he came down, he (& He) was furious. Think of the Israelites. There's alot of people in the "wilderness" right now. Gosh, I've been there many times myself!! People can candy-coat a snake, but at the end of the day it's still a snake not matter how sweet it appears.

Gen:
Are you saying that marrying a shoe or an animal is comparable to the desire of two human beings make a long term commitment to each other.

We are talking about same-'sex' marriage (ie. two human beings) not marriages outside the species and to inanimate objects.
