People gave you like fifteen examples of Christians killing OTHER CHRISTIANS(Jews do not kill other Jews usually) and other religious sects. There are many more. You are an ignorant fool, this only firms that premise.
Actually, I was mistaken. I see on the news every now and then when a bunch of gay couples line up in San Francisco to be married. Some states fully acknowledge gay marriage, Washington, New York, and others. California must have some loop holes or something, like I said, this isn't an important topic to me that I follow. It was more of a drunken sick form of entertainment for me yesterday to be honest.
You are complaining that the government is attacking our second amendment right? And that since Gay Marriage was not in the constitution, that it isnt as important?
Yes, I never denied them. However, most of those examples also happened in the past...I'm talking modern day where Christian Crimes are rare if not near to non-existent. You're an anti-Christian guy who lives in an ignorant bubble...
Learn to read. I said originally that if you were talking about today that Muslims are the worst when it comes to the death toll. But you cant just say Christians have no blood on their hands, because that is like saying the Nazis should not get judged for the holocaust because it was "in the past". And the christian groups in Africa have probably caused as much if not more deaths than the Israel/Palestine conflict. Im not saying Kony alone, I mean every one of those groups who have been TERRORIZING that continent for the past decade? and they dont count because they are not true christians? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Do you think Al-Qaeda and the Taliban are true muslims? Fun fact: Mohammed originally got most of his business advice from his wife, and treated her with the utmost respect. And you really think these guys blowing up a school full of little girls are "True Muslims"?
1. Yeah as I said, I don't personally care either way for MYSELF, but I still support the right of marriage for gays. I mean, I don't think you can really compare it to state id's/drivers licenses. It's just that marriage has such a strong connotation that represents a tight and lasting bond between two people, whereas a civil union just makes two people legally a couple. And I don't see why it matters to the opposition to call it marriage, as marriage is not a religious issue (and certain Christian sects are willing to marry gay couples).
Honestly, 9/11 was small potatoes compared to a lot of other recent atrocities. If that happened anywhere outside the western world, it would be news for like 2 weeks and then most people here would forget about it.
"You sir?" HAHA, I used to watch Keith Olbermann maybe 4 years ago, back when I was still mesmerized by petty topics like same sex marriage. Were you trying to copy him? Or maybe its just cute and trendy to talk like this now a days.
I have no idea who that is. It sounds like you personally do not like marriage. That is good and all but to a lot of people marriage is a very important part of their lives. It is not the fact that LGBT cannot get married, it is the fact that they cannot get married and straight couple's can. It is straight up discrimination which is a huge deal to a lot of people. Plus in some states they ban civil unions so the couples have no visitation rights in hospital's, no right to inherit property, etc. Did you watch the video DanCock posted? You really should, because it gives you a much better perspective on what banning gay marriage really does.
To be fair a lot of times religion is used as a veil to other motives like land/economics/racism etc.
Well then go get married, atleast 3 States (probably more) already recognize same sex marriage. I'm sure they'll rule it Constitutional sooner rather than later (just like the government healthcare). They are filling the supreme court with people that look like this..
I've moved before, but I've lived in California my whole life. I'm seriously looking into moving to Nevada when I get a chance. It isn't easy moving I know, but we have states for a reason.
It's not "government healthcare" you talking-point-spewing twit. It's nothing but a bald-faced boon to the insurance companies, ridden with loopholes which are already being exploited, with a mandate attached, that just so happens to forbid denial of coverage based on pre-existing conditions. It's nowhere near what we were promised, and is only a tiny step in the correct direction for this country. If it's not struck down, at the very least it will provide some checks to the true "death panels" we all know as the insurance industry.
Are you saying the insurance companies are against Obamacare? Obamacare will require everyone to purchase health insurance am I wrong? This is my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that quite a lot of what was in the Massachusetts Health Care Insurance Reform law that was passed by Romney were ideas originally proposed by the American Heritage Foundation, and consequently ended up in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, in part because the Obama administration contacted Jonathan Gruber to work on it because of his work on "Romney-care."
People shouldn't have to leave their homes to get their rights, it's that simple.Well then go get married, atleast 3 States (probably more) already recognize same sex marriage. I'm sure they'll rule it Constitutional sooner rather than later (just like the government healthcare). They are filling the supreme court with people that look like this..
We live in a republic, one which, even when the majority might be ok with doing something, is still considered wrong. In a democracy, if 51% of the people voted for blacks to be slaves again, would that be ok? Or do you think people would rightfully be pissed about it, and even if that's what 51% of people wanted, they should be told no?
Its not up to you to decide what someone else's priorities are. Isn't that what freedom is about, you get to decide for yourself?
I'm fairly certain malaria and related (plasmodium) diseases are the number one cause of human death throughout our history. Famine probably beats war by a long way too.
