Our rights as human

Hi! To me it doesn't matter if you're a pastor or not a pastor.. and as far as I'm concerned we're all imperfect, what's called 'sinners'. And it's not my job to worry about anyone concerning that except me! I figure God gave 'free will' or rather thinking ability thus the ability to choose,etc. Even 'free will' is imperfect! So I think it's wrong to deny people 'free will'. What bothers me too, tho is how traditionalists, politically, are automatically labeled as "haters". And they too are called names, etc. Ah humans! they keep doing the same things, making the same mistakes over and over.. All the best!

If you get married maybe your relationships might last longer. It is too easy for mates to leave if there isn't anything to bind them. What are you a pastor of and do you have a congregation? Some churches have a small place for their pastor to live in.

Are you an ordained Pastor or do you just call yourself a Pastor? I'm also curious that you say you think your former wife turned you gay. Are you saying you "turned" gay? Are you saying you were not born gay?

Stands up and applauds. People are people and the more people that see people AS people the better off we all are.

People still find gay marriages wrong. But I personally don't see anything wrong with gay marriages. It's not hurting anybody. But it's religion that discriminate gay people and make them out as if they are freaks and abnormal. If you try living in a country where the majority citizens are Muslims(but with other races living together with them) and even Muslims rule that country, they will probably forbid or maybe even put you in prison for getting lovey dovey in public. (Not that you will do that but then straight people freely kiss in public openly and nobody cared)

this is a very controversial topic. i am not even sure if i can phrase my words right in order to convey my thoughts well. i have gay friends and this has never been an issue with me. everyone has a right to love... to fall in love and to cherish the feeling of being loved in return. we all have the right to choose whoever it is that we want to be with for the rest of our lives. marriage, however is another matter as this would involve the capacity to adopt children (unless the child being adopted is the natural child of one of the gay partners, then this is not a problem). if it is just a legal union similar to that of marriage but with restrictions regarding adoption, then i would support this.

Okay, government-license is not about love; it's something you receive because it makes you an effective citizen. The marriage between a man & a woman is an a$set to the government because a) it stands the greatest chance of producing more citizens & b) it serves as a template for all strong partnerships universally. You might have 'the right to be married.' You do not have the right to the same recognition for that marriage as heteros have for theirs. Why not? Because we have the right not to give it to you. Does your right to "the pursuit of happiness" give you the right to infringe upon 'our' "pursuit of happiness" (the happiness of knowing that no one is happy unless they are serving the Greater Good)? And before YOU start dragging G*d into this, Jesus stated the separation between G*d & state when He said "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's; give unto G*d that which is G*d's" (I know maybe you're not talking about "money," but that's the only place where I can think of Jesus mentioning the split ... that, & His 'ruling' on divorce).
