Whom they allow in is the business of the people who own and run the churches, isnt it?

the Church and religions have no say who worships...that's up to God surely (this comes from a non religious person)




As to gay marriage i see no problem, even though the thought of gay sex is repulsive to me personally i am not offended or worried about someone being gay. It doesn't make them evil.
Constitutionally speaking in my country i would say that this is supposed to be the land of the free and free speech prevails...yes i agree that people should be able to dissaprove of gay unions but they don't have the right to stop them and gay unions should have the same legal standing as hetrosexual unions.
To make or keep gay unions illegal is on a par with the segrigation of races that once existed.
ALL MEN ARE EQUAL (WOMEN INCLUDED)

For gay marriages.
But i don&#39;t think they should shoved down the throat of any religious group that doesnt accept them. Preservation of culture etc.

Why not shove gay marriage down their throat? They shoved their beliefs down everybodys throat so we should do the same. [/b][/quote]
I can assure you, no gay man has ever shoved anything down my throat.

I don&#39;t see a problem. Why should I care. It not harming anyone or anything. So why not.

I am losing the thread a bit here.


You still taking about your throat?


The vote on this has definitely lurched towards the tolerant. I seem to recall the last vote being less so (although I think tolerance won the day in the end).

What actually happened in the US with regards the legal petitions, most of the lower ranking news items have rightly been pushed aside by the explosian in Iran.

Lots of people get married without a church... whats the real issue here.. is it whether two people off the same sex should be allowed to be seen and excepted as a heterosexual couple. Is it whether gay marrige is right under the laws of religion. Is it whether religion still functions or it has &#39;gone to the dogs&#39; (lost integrity, kinda).

Personally i think they should do what they want and if the churches say that they won&#39;t marry because it is a holy union for only heterosexual children of god then they should just live together or seek some other type of marrige, but &#39;god&#39; said man has free will so it is there right to chose there lifestyle.

If the rules of society don&#39;t allow that then society is going against god and it shouldn&#39;t bemarried

In Canada gay marriage is legal for know. To each his own right? Not&#33;&#33;&#33;
I&#39;m sick of turning on the TV and seeing two guy&#39;s kissing, or whining that they want some additional benefit. This is not sending a positive message to today&#39;s youth. And I&#39;m definetely tired of the whining about equal right&#39;s, it&#39;s a daily thing in the new&#39;s here. I also believe that a gay couple should not be allowed to adopt a child. No I&#39;m not gay nor a religous fanatic, just good old family values.

Ya j_b_r I could&#39;nt agree more, and I know it&#39;s in Ontario, but I&#39;m not sure of Quebec either.
