    Ok this is what I get for not keeping up with the news lately.

    image

    I saw this image yesterday of The White House and my thought was that somebody photoshopped the image to make the TWH look like that. Well a friend at work told me they really made TWH colored up in the Pride colors. How awesome was that, I wonder who ordered them to color TWH like that?

    Texas Attorney General is saying county clerks can refuse to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples if they have a religious disagreement.
    What a crock of shit.

    Yep, Kentucky county clerks are defying the governors' order to issue marriage licenses. Bunch of fucktards.....wave3.com/story/29437160/some-kentucky-county-clerks-defy-governors-order
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    But someone in the office must. Thats the out for these clerks. Falsely added these folks to the clergy exemption. But the office is bound by law to issue..

    That just doesn't make any sense at all.
    You can witness firsthand two people of the same sex joining their lives together.
    What part of the Christian mythology is able to be witnessed?

    If the clerks in Texas want to break the law, the will have a horrible time looking for new jobs and getting personally sued. They work for the government. They can't discriminate because of their religion. What's next? Are people at the DMV going to refuse to give out drivers licenses to gay people? Maybe fireman will not respond to houses of known gays? Maybe building permits won't be issued to gays? These people either need to let the next clerk deal with the marriage licenses or get new jobs. Fucking bigots.

    And godfather, gay marriage is no myth. You can see it, touch it hear, and feel it. You can't do any of those things with religion. Which one is the myth?

    Bigfoot is a myth. It is not real.

    Gay marriage is very real. Some may not like it but it is no myth.

    It's no myth that my brother married his husband 2 years ago after being together for 16 years.

    No myth

    it really is amazing how emotional/passionate people get over gay marriage. people use their religion to justify their hate when really that has nothing to do with it. I was watching a jim Jeffries bit with some friends and he was talking about how it says in the bible to not eat shellfish. apparently not once but numerous times. I personally haven't read through to check if that is correct or not, but if it is, I can guarantee you I've never seen anybody protesting or crying about how long john silvers serving shrimp is causing the downfall of America. personally I just don't get it. to me it's just a bunch of people saying, yeah I know people are getting murdered, women getting raped, children abused, people dying of hunger and disease.......but you know what really chaps my hide???? homos getting married!!! it's appalling!!!

    to all you haters out there, don't complain when people hate you because of you're skin color, your gender, what country you were born in, or your wealth....because surely you can empathize.


    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    OR they cant.

    Few care to realize just how many times the bible has been a new revised translation. Its good to study and perhaps learn the languages or at least the original meanings of the ancient greek and hebrew it was written in. Understand the context of the times it was written.

    I also note how not a single one can say "well jesus said........" because he didn't , and for what was said that was God talking and teaching right?

    I don't know much about the bible, I think the things that god or jesus supposedly said are in a different color. at least it is in my parents bible. but I get what you're saying about the translations. at the end of the day it's just a bunch of different people saying, oh yeah mmhmm this is what they meant. yup it sure is.

    quick question to the people who do use religion/the bible as their reason to be against gay marriage...why focus on that point? doesn't it say in the bible to honor thy neighbor and some variation of treat people like you want to be treated? why not focus on those positive points instead of looking for excuses to hate or judge people? at the end of the day you're basing your beliefs on an arbitrary passage in a book, so why not be a glass half full person instead of a glass half empty person? pick the love thy neighbor instead of the thou shalt not like wieners if thou haveth a wiener.

    It was in the draft version, but didn't make it into the final 10. You would not believe the bickering over what got cut.

    hate the sin not the sinner, most of the people opposed to gay marrieag don't hate gay people at all infact the only ones using the word hate in this topic are the gay marrieag supporters, some of you just automaticly think we as Christians hate gays and you couldn't be more wrong, in real life kiddies I treat everybody like I want to be treated, it's real simple don't mess with me and I wont mess with you.
    I don't care who you sleep with as long as you don't try to involve me...but I do strongly oppose gay marrieage and you can call me a redneck,christian extremist or a biggot or what ever you want and there is not enough sugar coating nonesence that will change my mind.
    I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one on the train who opposes this G/M stuff but I am the only one who will admit it at this point.
