Lovespell (and others) I appreciate your "documentation" as your non-biblical basis of not tolerating homosexuality. No matter how many refrences that are given (and I question the validity of much of your documentation) we will probably have to agree to disagree on this topic. IMO it is extreme to compare animals to humans in concern to a relationship. I do not consider myself a liberal but I can't invision a world were my beliefs have to become your beliefs, as I am sure you can't either, so to use Christianity as a rule of thumb for marriage just to me isn't fair to people who one are non-Christians or who choose to not believe in this aspect of the Bible. I am sure a world full of same sex marriage is probably repulsing to you, and I am not suggesting that it would make the world a better place, I do know that by removing choice the world will NOT be a better place. Since the majority of the country is "Christian" why must ALL of society abide by the principles of the Bible. Fact, the majority of the people in the WORLD are Muslim, shoud the United States conform to the principles of various sects of Islam because that is the majority religion of the world, surely the world as a whole must take precedent over the United States. So ladies should we be prepared to cover our faces, leave our jobs, not interact with men (extreme examples of sects of Islam) and conform to the majority religion? I don't think for someone who seems to be as dedicated to Christianity as those on this board that would go over well. Imagine the violation of being TOLD what you have to believe, I feel this is what we do as a society when we do not allow adults to make choices involving other willing adults, and please note I said willing adult... not child, nor animal, nor corpse but a WILLING ADULT.
