Larry King Show

[emmarose]

I would like to know why Larry King had republicans on last night after the convention, along with the democrats in the rebuttal forum? He did not have democrats on with the republicans after the democratic convention. So, what's up with that??

I want to know if anyone reads their BIBLE about how God destroyed two cities because of homesexuality. Seems to me God is ANGRY. Everytime there is a march of protest for the gays a fire breaks out in Calif. Wonder will the gays get the message from G O D:rolleyes:

Just because something is written in the Bible or any other religious book doesn't make it a fact. A fact is that which can be proved. Where's the proof that anything in the Bible is a message from God? Where is the proof that there is a God to begin with? You may believe in God but that's not evidence of anything. Surely if there were a God and it didn't want gays around it would be able to get rid of them fairly easily. But as we know gay people continue to be born into the world every day.

Oooh The University of Bill Maher...

Aids kills gays as well as straight women , men and children. God should be able to do a more accurate job than that!

Divorce is civil not clerical--so union should be too. You don't need to go back to the church that married you in order to get a divorce (unless you are a serious Catholic, and then you have to do certain things to remain a catholic).

Why doesn't every US citizen who wants to be joined to another legally get a civil union and then, if the couple wants to be "married" that is a church function--they can find a church that will "Marry" them. "Marriage" should have nothing to do with civil laws but only church laws. "Marriage" is a separate issue from becoming tied to another person under civil law. And if you don't care about the religious part of a union you don't have to go through the church, as is the case now.

This whole argument is a waste of time and public money.

Very interesting point of view, and I tend to agree with you.
I don't think that gay mariage would destroy the mariage vows. . . heterosexual divorces have done a good job at destroying the sanctity of mariage already!
And I believe that love, in all its forms, should be recognized and respected.
So whatever gives everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, the right to be united for life (or until "men" separate them through a divorce) should be recognized across the board.
If a couple decides to marry in a Church (following. . .not instead) of the legal union, this could be at the whim of a Church. Some Churches may recognize gay mariages, and some may not. But let's not forget that the constitution requires division of State and Church.
So there is nothing wrong with having a totally equal "legal union" for both hetero and gay couples, but leave each Churches (religions) to decide what they want to do.
Mariage has been sort of an "empty" word for many years. . .especially when you get to your third or fourth one in a life time. (For reference: I am a white woman, married 37 years ago for the first time, and just celebrated that 37th anniversary. I don't plan on getting divorced, and I don't feel threatened by any other mariages, either same sex or hetero sexual).

Who is god? Oh, another question, where am I? Is this America? OHHH, yeah it sure is, ha imagina that. Doesn't that mean we are quite free? Ohh and again, yes. Laugh out loud. Why do all the religious people have to hate gays so much and say things like god doesnt like them. I thought god loved all his children and the only sin he WOULDNT forgive was murder. Hmm, maybe gays can go to heaven after all.

Many Religious Right activists have attempted to rewrite history by asserting that the United States government derived from Christian foundations, that our Founding Fathers originally aimed for a Christian nation. This idea simply does not hold to the historical evidence.

Of course many Americans did practice Christianity, but so also did many believe in deistic philosophy. Indeed, most of our influential Founding Fathers, although they respected the rights of other religionists, held to deism and Freemasonry tenets rather than to Christianity.
