(Please respect other peoples opinions or post will be deleted out of respect for those who can debate rationally. I tagged the people who I thought might take interest in the topic as it is a interesting debate for good thinkers or debaters.) Topic: Proper definition and etc..
The word gay means happy so why are we still referring to it as a guy with guy or girl with girl? The right word is homosexual, in no way please do not take this as an insult. I am just merely correcting the usage of the word (not negative). Nothing to do with God, we were structurally created to mate with the opposite sex. Do I disagree with homosexuality, personally yes, but it is not my life so it isn't my concern. How others chose to live is upon them and their beliefs are their own. I live my life accordingly to how I see fit.
As I have said I do not have any concern how a person lives their life as long as it doesn't conflict upon my own. I respect their privacy and such. Now Homosexuals demand churches to show them respect and let them be married... Well, I am not religious, they should understand that Marriage is a religious concept. If a religion says that it is a sin then that religion group has the right to deny them the right to get married if it goes against their principles or teachings. Now if they wish to be married they should be able to do so through the courts, I see no problem in that; But it is hypercritical for Homosexuals to tell religious groups to show respect when it is them themselves who disrespects the religious groups for their beliefs. EX: A man has ethics that he has lived by for a life time. He votes by balancing out the pro's and con's. Well lets say one day a Liberal comes along and says, "you have to accept my bias beliefs because if not you are disrespect me." Well the liberal obvious is trying to change a mans ethics who has kept the principles he has had for a life time by saying it is prejudice, seems a bit hypocritical, no? Now you can't say it is disrespect if you didn't respect the thing you try to enforce your beliefs on. Now if a homosexual individual wants to be married that is fine but do not ask a religious group to change their principals that they have had for ages. That is like saying lets change the constitution and give our government more rights then the people the government was meant to serve.
I did say that I believe that they could be married by the courts and receive the same benefits; But to force their ways on the religion/church beliefs is also coherently discriminating and hypocritical which would contradict themselves, yes? Homosexuals shouldn't have a problem with the churches but the government instead; Separation of church and state, no?
Also the word marriage is only a word to you but to them(Religious groups being Christians or even date back to the days of the GODS of Greek) it is the way of life. See marriage to you is just a word in thee eye of the beholder which is you. So in actual fact marriage is a religious concept. So yes, you can get married by the courts but then again it isn't true marriage as it was a religious concept. So if to you marriage is just a word then why would homosexuals want it so bad, maybe they just want something to fight and to obtain publicity really? Always look beyond the box of a debate and the majority side. So what is right for one is wrong for another, it is really dependent on the eye of the beholder.
The thing about religion and marriage is that it predates Christianity by a couple thousand years, so what gives them (Christians) the right to claim ownership of it. It doesn't give them any right accept it being a religious bond in all religions that is holy. The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting one woman and one man dates from about 2350 B.C., in Mesopotamia. Which was founded in a religion and was a union of a man and a woman.
And about being offended? To be offended is to be blind and not open to possibilities. I am only offended by the offended. A wise man can not see past pride but only past emotion can he only see the picture for what it is and not what he sugar coats it to be.
