I want you people to realize all Christians are not like Merc. Just want to make that clear before he reinforces some bad stereotypes.

Not true btw, I was messing with merc tonight. I thought he knew me and would pick up the sarcasm...unless he was being sarcastic. I dunno. I'm so not against gay marriage
Mr.Reak said:Heh Beam, I don't think a lot of people remember your thread (problem with your parents, etc.) heh, not that many folks from old days left anyway.
hmmm...that raises an interesting question...have any Klan chapters sprung up in canada? that would be funny...well, actually, it would be rather sad, because the spread of the clan is terrible...but you know what i mean...falconwind said:Do you make your own white hoods, or do you get your mom to make them?

yeah, but they're everywhere. fortunately, there are big black guys to beat the shit out of the most places, toofalconwind said:Not the Klan, but surprisingly, there are some White Supremacist Groups. Bunch of stupid neo-nazis.

Being considered an act of sin by most cultures and religions
Neutrino said:Sorry, but I stopped reading when it said:
and then tried to say that gays being accepted is a new thing.
That's hardly true. Gays are a natural part of society that have been around throughout most of history. Some cultures were open to this and some were not.
The Sacred Band of Thebes was an elite Greek troop of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers, according to Plutarch formed by the Theban commander Gorgidas. The motivation for the use of such an "Army of Lovers" in battle is also stated by Plutarch: "For men of the same tribe or family little value one another when dangers press; but a band cemented by friendship grounded upon love is never to be broken, and invincible; since the lovers, ashamed to be base in sight of their beloved, and the beloved before their lovers, willingly rush into danger for the relief of one another." According to Plutarch, Gorgidas initially distributed the Sacred Band of Thebes throughout his battle lines as an elite to strengthen the others' resolve, but later Pelopidas, after the Band had fought successfully at Tegyrae, used it as a sort of personal guard. For about 33 years, the Sacred Band of Thebes remained an important part of the Greek infantry.
Its defeat came at the Battle of Chaeronea, the decisive battle in which Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great ended Greek independence of the city-states. The Band fought on until every man was killed.
Plato wrote about the code of honor of the Sacred Band of Thebes: "The beloved, when he is found in any disgraceful situation, will be pained at being detected by his lover. If there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour... For what lover would not choose rather to be seen by all mankind than by his beloved, either when abandoning his post or throwing away his arms... Or who would desert his beloved or fail him in the hour of danger?"
ok, I myself didn't read all of what's in the link, I posted because I share pretty much the same views.Neutrino said:Sorry, but I stopped reading when it said:

That's hardly true. Gays are a natural part of society that have been around throughout most of history. Some cultures were open to this and some were not. Heck, there are even examples in the Bible where it can be argued that gay relationships were accepted.
Edit: Alright, I read a little more. The suicide study thing is ridiculous. First of all, I don't really trust it. But if it's factual perhaps there is an obvious reason for gays being more suicidal. Perhaps is it because they are discriminated against and hates by many people? Ya, I don't think I'd have a real positive outlook on life either if people hated and feared me, merely because of my sexuality.
Kind of odd that the links for the studies can't be found too.

Hmmmm....Ether that was a comment to show him how stupid it is to generalize or you really mean we are all idiots...cause if so I could come up with some comments about the english. I for one don't agree with his opinions cause they are pretty damn stupid and illogical...so you generalize then you are no better than him.oldagerocker said:Your an idiot. American. Your all idiots. Enough said.
hasan said:ok, I myself didn't read all of what's in the link, I posted because I share pretty much the same views.
I think they are referring to the acceptance of gays socially, not politically.
anyway, why I really oppose it:
It destroys society, just like alcohol, drugs, and adultery.
now, it doesn't happen overnight, it takes alot of time, but these things DO destroy society.
now, if I gave examples and said why, it's probably gonna be offensive .. like "teh HELL!!!111 look your society is teh Fed up!!!11", so I'm not gonna do that.
ofcourse the second reason is .. it's 'Haram' aka illegal in my religion.
Reaktor4 said:The mentality of some of the people on this board is pathetic. Whats really annoying is when they spout off bs opinions, lies and religious crap as facts.
That doesnt make it factual. I used to believe in it, in fact its only recently that my belief is disappearing, very quickly, so i can understand your position.blahblahblah said:Hey, watch it now. I believe in that religious crap. Well, not the way Merc believes it, but I still believe in Christianity.
Evidence?What is more annoying is people like you who just spout random stuff and belive your opinion is the right one.

And by that i mean what random stuff have i said is right? I doubt youll find much as i try not to form opinions on things that i know little about, let alone say my opinion is fact.
mercsdad said:It is hard to type so fast. My fingers hurt.
prove it...blahblahblah said:Calling it crap isn't factual either.
What exactly am i biased against?Ummm, hate to break it to you bud, but you have already formed an opinion. Please don't act like you are unbiased when you're not.
Fine, nobody ever gets anywhere in religious arguments anywayI don't have time to start some sort of massive debate, I've got a lot of stuff to do in the next three days.
The above tells me this guy has some kind of extremely serious mental issues that really need to be dealt with, and I am 100% serious about this, I'm not saying it as a insult to him. Merc, Merc's Dad (if you really are his dad, not just Merc with a new username), please, for god's sake, get some mental help, you desperately need it.mercsdad said:If Kerry wins, which he won't. America will become a 3rd world country and we will become extinct because of all the gays wanting to marry each other. How can you reproduce? God did not create man for a man or woman for a woman. It is unnatural. God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman and if you cannot understand that you are a terrorist against family values.
Reaktor4 said:Fine, nobody ever gets anywhere in religious arguments anyway
lol? I hope you're joking. there are so many things wrong with that logic.Neutrino said:Supposition: Gays destroy society.
Fact: Gays have been around throughout all of mankind's history. They have always existed.
Fact: Society is still here.
Conclusion: False.
