    Do you think it's a good idea to bring in the same sex marriage? Do you think that marriage is for creating kids?

    Some politician said that I believe. I think that's a bit daft.

    Its wrong in the eyes of the lord. So no, its not a good idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Im sick of these fúcking threads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    I have no idea why anyone could oppose same sex marriage. It hurts no-one. Even for people who are against it, because they are I suppose, against homosexuality, they can still get angry at gay people either way.

    And no, it's not hurting you because you got angry about it and punched your screen.

    THE GAYS DON'T OWE YOU A NEW LAPTOP.

    This is it, man. The Lord said that you must not lie with a man as you would lie with a woman. It is an abomination.

    So it kinda goes without saying homosexuality is wrong. Bit of an odd question, really.

    Don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they are happy, then again, marriage may soon kill the romance.
    Marriage for having kids?:pac::pac: You don't even need to ride now days to have a kid...:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Lahm


    I mean people get married and never have kids.

    If a man wants to shove his stick up a man's hole and the other man likes it then let him go ahead.

    I will sit on the fence for this question. Clearly there are more pressing issues at this moment in time like I have to go to the loo.

    The gay sex industry is really taking a shafting over this. A total cock up if you ask me.

    I don't actually believe anything I wrote there. I just thought that we could all pretend to be Christians for a change, to spice things up a little.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 537 ✭✭✭JonJoeDali


    I don't agree with homosexuals getting their hands on innocent children.

    That said, I think there are bigger things to be worrying about.

    Hopefully the Labour party will be on the opposition benches.

    Don't the gays think Marriage is important and the right to get hitched and share a kid.


    I think they do.

    No offence to Pace and the rest, but i reckon you guys are just picking and choosing what you want to take from the bible.

    The gay marriage cermony will have to be conducted in irish, it would be so wrong not to have it compulsary, don't want to see the language demoted or anything like that.:pac::pac:

    Jesus would allow it. I don't think people should ignore what Jesus said. One thing i don't get is why do gay christians believe in christianity when the bible says homosexuality is a sin?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,396 ✭✭✭Tefral


    Live and let live, if someone wants to marry someone else leave them off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭Ronin247


    No.Marriage is between a man and woman.Civil union with equal rights I am all in favour of but this obsession with calling it a marriage annoys the crap out of me.
    Next thing we will be like the USA and have dogs and cats getting "married" because they have a right to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭hardcore


    What other country's are gay marriages illegal in?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Lahm


    Remember though.


    Gay men may like children. Just a thought. They shouldn't be excluded for being gay.

    "Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her Radio show. On her radio show recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination, according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
    The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet.
    Dear Dr. Laura:
    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination.. End of debate.
    I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
    1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
    2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
    3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
    4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
    5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
    6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
    7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wriggle-room here?
    8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
    9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
    10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
    I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
    Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
    Your adoring fan,
    Homer Simpson."

    Given that there is several different religions and cultures here I think it there should be gay marriages here. We should not be tied to the church for such 21st century issues, we also need to see seperation of the churchs over many schools of this country. Some people dont want to do religion in 1st class.

    What harm does it do? Why do you need to have and protect such a narrow definition of marriage? You know that marriage isn't exclusively Christian, or even religious?

    Fixed that for you.

    It's a shame that the original comment came from a Fine Gael spokesperson for equality. Social equality is a key and important issue for many people. All political parties should support gay marriage, with the exception of Cóir, who are a bunch of religious loonies.
