nah just asked. i thought you grew up in Pakistan, hence your ultra conservative views?
Lol, I was a one year old when I lived there. Nah I'm generally just ultra conservative on all issues concerning homosexuals and the like. I'm not a mad mullah or someshit, I just get pissed off at ultra-liberals.

Why?

And I'm speaking here of non-religious marriages. Religions can regulate their own mumbojumbo.
i'm not against non-religious same-sex marriages. but any marriage which is correlated with religious tradition is by definition supposed to between man and woman.

I support same-sex relationships and marriage. It doesnt hurt us in any way.

If you see them pashing or acting intimant on the street, look the fuck away. Enough street for everyone to look at.

If the thought of same-sex...sex makes you sick, WHY ARE YOU THINKING IT!

And i find it a bit hypocritical that some guys go woot for two girls pashing, but once the men start they bash them until they are a bleeding vegetable.

This debate is much like the race debate in the 1970's. In 20 years, same-sex couples will be normal. Not normal as in a majority, but with the same rights as hetero couples. It's just such a non-event. Homosexuality is something you are born with, it's not like a switch you can turn on or off. Can I switch my heterosexuality to homosexuality? No, I can't, so why does the church think it can 'cleanse' gays? It's ridiculous.

Sure. I had to clarify myself, though, because religion doesn't have a monopoly on the term "marriage" :)

IMO, Iran deals with them correctly. You get the picture. I'm not gonna go out myself and kill a coupla homos, but I would never be friends, or mingle with them.

Argument could be raised however on your definition of marriage. Allowing homosexuals to be married absolutely ruins the sanctity of such an act. I'd like you to bring forward an argument that proves that marriage was not a concept originally brought forward by various religions.

Therefore, the CONCEPT of marriage itself was founded by religion. Most major religions reject homosexuality as a vile sin. Therefore, how can homosexuals be allowed to marry, if the concept they're accepting is based on a religion that rejects them?

It never ceases to amaze me how people doggedly use religion as an excuse for their homophopic bile.

If you are homophobic, just say so. Don't hide behind Islam.

Yeah, we pretty much own the fucking casino here. Marriage is a sacrament, not just a contract

Interesting opinion. Why is that? Are you afraid of them?

Marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And lol, sanctity. "For most of European history, marriage was more or less a business agreement between two families who arranged the marriages of their children. Romantic love, and even simple affection, were not considered essential.[10] Historically, the perceived necessity of marriage has universally been stressed."

Therefore, the CONCEPT of marriage itself was founded by religion.
No it wasn't. It was a contract.

Most major religions reject homosexuality as a vile sin. Therefore, how can homosexuals be allowed to marry, if the concept they're accepting is based on a religion that rejects them?
Only the Abrahamic and Indian religions do, actually (Far Eastern religions are pretty much apathetic about the whole thing; Pagan and Neopagan religions generally support homosexuality). Granted, they are "major religions" by the number of adherents, but the Abrahamic religions certainly didn't give birth to marriage as a concept. If anything, they co-opted it.
