Absolutely not true. I've seen the movies where she's screaming "Oh GOD Yes, Oh GOD, Oh GOD, Oh GOD Yes, Oh GOD"



had a girlfriend. it was her favorite phrase. never could hold back laughing when she had an o.... broke up realy quick :P




Hence I fail to see why what someone else believes is stopping a civil union outside of that belief structure.
Am I making sense to anyone?

because most of the religions or religious communities (no matter how big or small they might be) see themselves as superior because of their believes and eventually will try to force their way of living/thinking which is based on their beliefs onto others.
any way of life that is philosophicaly/religiuosly based works as long as your are tolerating and respecting "non-believers" and vice-versa. but that's definitely utopia

Why not just have a parallel civil union for homosexuals that is called something other than marriage. Then grant that union all the same rights as marriage. Then declare victory for all and go home.



Because organized religion is, at it's core, a political machine designed to make people get in line and follow the leader. This has nothing to do with "marriage." Out gay people in general don't play follow the leader very well. This is tantamount to Mom saying, "if you don't do as I tell you, I won't allow you to have a new gameboy like your brother has." It's supression of one group to make the rest fall in line, "see what happens to bad little boys?"

True enough I suppose, I just don't like what I perceive to be a hint of hypocrisy in religions when people get caught up in the rules instead of the philosophy behind the religion

A hint?
My word! Has it not been flagrantly obvious?
Not meaning to single out any afore mentioned religious churches, but since when does a religion get to have it's own country? And does the word, hold on I'll get the definition......ok here...

v. tithed, tith·ing, tithes
v. tr.
To contribute or pay a tenth part of (one's annual income).
To levy a tithe on.

v. intr.
To pay a tithe.

Um...sounds more like a pyramid scheme if you take out the "Faith" part.

Well, actually that seems to be fairly common.

The Vatican, Israel, Palestine (this one's a little arguable because there are Christian Palestinians and Mecca is in SA), Tibet.

"I am mindful that we're all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor's eye when they got a log in their own," the president said. "I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts."



I thought you were kidding, and then I heard Bush say it on the radio on the way home:S

When he says 'we are all sinners' I wonder how he can include me and millions of others in that. I ain't a christian, I have no notion of original sin. The worst I can say is that we are like mirrors that need some dust cleaned off..

But I did like the part about "welcome those with good hearts" that is my philosophy all the way! I have met some pretty crude charactors, but sometimes am lucky enough to see the good hearts they carry within....:)

Sounds like most religions, as well as the extreme right wing and the entire DNC.

Nope, sorry, this is just like poking a stick in a beehive.. Hehe

Stick in the beehive? that reminds me of this one:

It was time for Father John's Saturday night bath, and the young nun, Sister Magdalene, had prepared the bath water and towels just the way the old nun had instructed. Sister Magdalene was also instructed not to look at Father John's nakedness if she could help it, do whatever he told her to do, and
pray. The next morning the old nun asked Sister Magdalene how the Saturday night bath had gone. "Oh, sister," said the young nun dreamily, "I've been saved." "Saved? And how did that fine thing come about?" asked the old nun. "Well, when Father John was soaking in the tub, he asked me to wash him,
and while I was washing him he guided my hand down between his legs where he said the Lord keeps the Key to Heaven." "Did he now?" said the old nun evenly. Sister Magdalene continued, "And Father John said that if the Key to Heaven fit my lock, the portals of Heaven would be opened to me and I would
be assured salvation and eternal peace. ! And then Father John guided his Key to Heaven into my lock." "Is that a fact?" said the old nun even more evenly. "At first it hurt terribly, but Father John said the pathway to salvation was often painful and that the glory of God would soon swell my heart
with ecstasy. And it did, it felt so good being saved." "That wicked old devil!" said the old nun. "He told me it was Gabriel's Horn, and I've been blowing it for 40 years!"

If same sex marriage is OK, then why not marriage of 3 or more persons?
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I have a grand Idea!!!

Lets Declare marriages a religious institution. And to keep religion separate from state.... make all State weddings (done by judges) Civil unions... and Religious Weddings (done in churches-with an automatic civil union) Marriages. then each church can set its own rules for marriage. And everyone can have a civil union... and legal references be changed from marriage to civil union.

This way everyone can have what they want :P

Ok. So does that mean that all the people that thought that they have been married for so many years will all of the sudden be "Civil Unioned"?

On a side note ones self wonders what the union dues are.

Yup... Those that were married by the state (judge) will be civil unionized... And those married by a church will be both married and civil unionized.

since its an agreement of support and trust it should be, the government shouldnt legislate what are fundamentally personal and cultural issues.

family marriages have existed in quite a number of cultures. So long as it doenst harm anyone not participating why should the government be involved at all other than establishing the legal means to register such unions?
