Gay Marriage? Options

[NORTHENDER]

Really?

[Penelope]

Gay/Straight marraiges - who cares, it all ends in divorce within the year....

bitter, very bitter !!

[Rosewinelover]

I've never been married....Nothing to be bitter about - just stating the facts (with a bit of exaggeration...)

In answer to original post, I have no problem with gay marriages. It does not affect me, it does not make my life upset in anyway - live and let be

[Penelope]

puts a whole new slant to the phrase 'Wedding Ring' though.

Heather I respect your beliefs.
However;



So how come there are people in the Africaans, Middle East, Blackburn, etc, who are suffering, without clean water etc.
Is that equal?

I don't understand that bit - we are all equal yet clearly we are not equal, the fact is we do have iPods and free health care and houses, where as those in Africa do not. That is a product of their own making; the way the economies etc have grown, is it not? Rather than to do with being created equal, or Gods will.

Not looking to change your religion. Just understand your position.
If it helps I have 20p for the viewfinder.

To your first point. No it is not fair but that does not mean that God did not create or wish us to be equal. It is man that has gone against Gods creation plan. When we were put on earth He allowed us free will. Some use that free will to be good citizens and help others, others use that free will to abuse their fellow man. We are all answerable for our actions and either on Earth or in front of our Creator we will be judged by our actions and appropriate punishments, I am sure, will be taken.

Second point. There is a lot we do not understand, but that does not mean there is no an answer there (or an explanation).

Third point. I do not have a religion or support an religious organisations. My faith and loyalty is to God, not those that take his name and use it for their own purposes.

None of this changes the original point that bigotry against our fellowman is wrong. We were given free will and I am sure that God hoped in his wisdom that we would use our intelligence wisely and sensibly. Maybe our time on Earth is for us to learn and those that do learn will be rewarded. Those that fail to respect each other will suffer the consequences. Who knows?
