I think the implication is that god is gay - because if he was straight he wouldn't care about gays enough to kick up a fuss about them

From what I have read it is going again to the 9th in December again. If you re-phrase the issue to 'people have the right to marry consenting adults they are in sexual love with' then gays don't have the same rights and the difference in ways of approaching is the nub of the issue isn't it?

Then it will be turned over on appeal and you can calm down. But I bet that if the prop was that white/black/jewish people can't marry it would be against the national constitution.

Where does the 10th prevent the consitution being the supreme law of the land? You quite clearly said that the national consitution isn't the supreme law of the land which appears not to the match the document that lays out the rules of the USA The 10th does nothing bar say what it can make law on - where does the 10th say that the constitution is not the supreme law of the land on whatever it makes laws on? And the ruling was based on the obligation placed on each and every sta

The national constitution is the highest law of the law - as per article six of the constitution [quote] This Constitution , and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land ; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contra

On the fire department - I bet lots of people paid up after that fire! I though the highest law in the land was the federal constitution not the state?

Reply to Put your own money where your mouth went... in Politics Stardock Forums

There is a difference between wanted the rich to pay 3% more and trying to reduce your own burden. If the taxes go up then all the rich pay more and the government has enough money to do more stuff - so the person gains as he gains though the increase in government spending. If he himself pays more then he loses the money but the government doesn't have enough money to do anything else either - so he loses. One person giving more money to the government does nothing - all

Reply to Vaccinations---Pros and Cons in Current Events Stardock Forums

There has been a long term massive study done in Denmark. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1124634/ The medical records of over half a million children were studied over seven year (the nature of Denmark's health system made this possible) - about 100 000 children had not been given the MMR vaccine. The autism rates were statically the same between the groups (the exact numbers were lower in the vaccinated group). The principle reason that there are more

[quote who="Nitro Cruiser" reply="1" id="2778022"] Yeah he's an easy target since no one puts a fatwa on the people criticizing him. Those same "well spoken" people and comedians really show their "courage" when it comes to Islam, don't they?[/quote] Yes they do. Richard Dawkins and Steven Fry have spoken out against Islam. Jack Dee, Jimmy Carr et all have all made anti-islam jokes. Also not really sure of the point of that comment was but hey ho.

The Pope in the UK - Backfire? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

For those don't know the Pope is currently conducting the first state visit to the UK and so far I don't think it is going very well for him. From the start of it the visit has promted a wave of anti-catholic comment and the things that the Pope and his aides have said have really not helped. If his aim was to try to 're-convert' the UK I think it might have done exactly the opposite. It brought back into the public eye the peado-priests, the views on women, birth contro

Reply to Islam & Christian Comparison in Religion JoeUser Forums

Where did I say that there are documented cases of homosexuals being killed? What I keep on saying is that the god commanded them to be put to death. The LORD said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites......... If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death' Your argument about the moses killings doesn't really wash. First born babies in houses that didn't put blood on the wall

Reply to Islam & Christian Comparison in Religion Stardock Forums

God did command they were put to death. As for killings - why did god kill the first born of all families in moses times? Babes in arms will have been included - innocents that were killed by god from the crimes of their dictator. Delibratery killed children doesn't sound like love to me.

[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" reply="9" id="2741332"] Today, as Christians we are not enslaved by the law anymore. Christ took that burden away by fulfilling the law completely. But that doesn't make the law totally null and void. [/quote] This has confused me. Does that mean that all the laws and guidance in the OT are not valid?

I'm confused by several comments in this. 1) You may be free to question the holy text but are you free to do opposite to it? If you have to obey it, even after questioning it there is very little functional difference 2) Practice as opposed to theory There are numerous verses in the bible talking about killing people, whole towns etc for things that are against gods law (including merely being in a town were somebody is trying to convert a believer of your go

They are TRYING. THAT WAS ALL I SAID. By voting on a law to impose their reglios views on the laws of sociery they are trying to impose their views. What part of that means I said they ARE imposing? Laws impose things on people. That is the whole point of them trying to get laws is trying to impose things, either a requirement or a prohibition.

Um - Freedom of Speech? or is that no longer possible unless you are speaking correctly?

I've listened to the video and the only quote says from the guy in questions says nothing about the US, in fact the commentator talks about Sharia law, in the same way as in Britain which kind of throws his views into question.
