Thanks.
Yes, once the hysterical ranting, with its comparison of the gay marriage issue to the abolition of slavery and ending of apartheid has died down, it will be interesting to see how many people have been wronged and our now free to....call their relationship a different name.

Can quite see where you are coming from. Trouble is the CofE is supposed to be a Christian Church - which should be following biblical truths. This isn't probably the right place to expand that here; but its only Bible that would give you the answers you seek.

Simon's taking the mickey, he's not really agreeing with you. He's being a mischievous old Hector.

You actually DID say that 'if you join a club you abide by the rules". Is not the Bible the rule book? You just changed clubs until you found a club with an interpretation of the rules that suited you. That doesn't mean that their interpretation is right.

So a religion that had something like this as it's mission statement would probably be ok?

"community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit."

Biblical truth - mmmmmmm.

So you think that homosexuals should be executed because the bible says so?

Or do you believe in the sixth commandment 'Thou shalt not kill'?

He is like Hector - the teacher in Alan Bennet's The History Boys ? Thanks for the heads up.

Wasn't Hector the male teacher who was discovered sexually fondling a schoolboy? You're saying I'm a paedophile because I support same-sex marriage? Bit strong isn't it?

I'm with Vodabury here. We pander too much to the sensibilities of the loonie left with their Guardian-reading bleeding hearts, it's political correctness gone mad. It's like the blacks; how many of them really wanted to walk on the same pavements or ride in the front of busses in America, and look at all the fuss the namby-pambys made over that, how has that made America a better place? And then there's votes for women; so one or two dry old dikes tied themselves to racehorses and we go and give them all a vote when women only ever wanted to stay at home and do what their husbands told them. And then there's Jeremy Bentham going to all that bother starting a university just so Jews and other heretics could get an education, and I bet half the graduates from UCL write on the Guardian so how has that helped? And what about the abolition of slavery, it put millions of Africans out of work just because William Wilberforce found God, and not the sensible Gof of the Church of England mind, a Guardian-reading namby-pamby God. It's political correctness gone mad.

I dont think God is very hung up on ipods or health care. You are speaking of equality from the perspective of what we have, faith teaches that all God's children are born of man and that we all die, so therefore we are all equal.

I don't think you feel that our decision to ask a Hindu to be our son's God Father was a good thing to you.

No, I meant the REAL Hector, hence the 'mischievous old Hector' quote.

So are you going to explain your reference to the child-abusing teacher in the Alan Bennett play?
