Hmm..
So just because he didn't go over all the Levitical laws governing propriety in sexual relationships means it's okay to marry your sister, your aunt, or have relations with goats?

Your argument is specious at best.

Freedom? How about process and rule of law?

Judicial tyranny is the issue, not homosexual marriage. The American people have expressed their opinion on homosexual marriage through the representative republic we have int his country (see the defense of marriage bill) which is being flagrantly ignored and overturned by the most unaccountable branch of our government, the judiciary.

If homosexuals want to legalize their marriages do it through the system we have, don't lean on activist judges to usurp the power of the people.

The only remedy left is a constitutional ban, and even that may not stop these activists, but it is the only option the majority in the U.S. has.

I personally agree... It's your personal life and no government should tell you what to do and not to do.

I believe, if you want to divorce someone, go ahead and do it. Otherwise, it might too late in some cases (especially where the abuse is involved)... Am I right?

Another one for your review, enjoy.

When you have outlaw judges abandoning the rule of law to grant, at their whim, legality to today's latest fad, and when you have, on top of that, spineless legislators who refuse to hold the outlaw judges accountable, a Constitutional amendment is necessary.

Apparently doesn't understand that the Bible is the living breathing word of God. Fails to mention the laws God gave to Moses (Found in Leviticus). Doesn't sound as if Jesus, who is God, was very "tolerant" of queers at the time. When he required them stoned, I don't think he meant get them high. Sodom and Gemmorah were destroyed by fire and brimstone, and Lots wife was turned into a pilar of salt for simply longing for that lifestyle; Another pro-gay movement by the Lord. Paul mentions in the new testament that being effeminate was a sin for a man, an abomination. He also mentions in Romans that in our time men would be lovers of themselves, and prone to "unnatural" affection. God is eternal and never changes. He is no respector of persons. He does not bend on His hatred of immorality, and sin, one and the same. God's mind was never changed by any man as to how He would deal with sin. Sin leads to death and destruction. God's men have only been able to persuade God to postpond His wrath. Regardless of how anyone FEELS about the subject, God hates homosexuality and will not change. The ones that need to change are the homosexuals. If this offends anyone, I'm sorry, but I do not believe in "gray areas" when it comes to morality. The only thing I agree with on this post is that divorce is immoral. Don't get me started on that one.

Well, Jim, Jesus didn't say anything about not sleeping with one's sister or brother, either, but I think I'm pretty sure what His opinion is about such activity. Ditto for any number of moral transgressions that are clearly wrong but not specifically addressed by the Lord during His time on earth.
You've been trolling through Democratic Underground too long. You're regurgitating their rhetoric over there almost word for word.
What amuses me the most is when someone like JimJones (strange name to choose!) claims to lament the lost golden days of Barry Goldwater's GOP; those who claim such are almost always devout liberal Democrats whom have suddenly "discovered" some things they like about Barry Goldwater's libertarian positions when it suits their ideological needs.

[findingtruth]

Barry Goldwater would be rolling over in his grave to see REPUBLICANS, the party of freedom, wanting to put restrictive clauses in the constitution, a document that was concieved to GUARANTEE freedoms, not restrict them.

Yeah. Good ol' Barry ended up pro-sodomy and pro-abortion. He wanted total liberty for a mother wanting to murder her unborn child. After all, this is the cornerstone of American freedom. That plus the freedom of consensual adults to sodomize.

Did Jesus favor a constitutional amendment to outlaw divorce?

[longtermmemmory]

Actually the Christ did speak against infidelity , and that as a cause of divorce.

Divorce has always been allowed under the Orthodox church.

THIS is what scares the trolls
