you say your christian. but doesn’t the bible say love thy neighbor? it doesn’t say love thy neighbor unless they’re different. plus it also says treat everyone as you would want to be treated. does it or does it not? yes i do believe that everyone should have the right to get divorce if there is no other way. It should be ordered that if a couple goes thou counseling and still can’t make it work out than that they can get a divorce.

Actually, the point of the whole thing was to point out that if you’re a Christian, you’re against DIVORCE as much as you are AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE; and that if you accept the damage divorce causes to society without judgement (which is far more damage than gay marriage will ever cause) you’ve given up on the literal teachings of Christ already to the point that you might as well support same sex marriage.

How come I got the joke and played along, but none of the rest of you did?

Ted.. I’m speechless as to how ignorant you are. I just read through your arguments… I really just don’t think you’ll ever see things right. I agree, this country is never going to get EVERYONE to see your religion as the right way to believe, so if you cannot live peacefully along with people who are respecting your beliefs but believe differently, maybe you should just LEAVE

You have no right, both constitutionally and as a simple human, to restrict the rights of others based on religion.

I do believe that is the point of this whole thing, and as a “Christian” that would mean you are in support of gay marriage. If you aren’t, then I believe you have the wrong faith.

Nintendo u may be a sinner and play too many demonic video games but I do agree that Whole Bible Christianity must be the official religion of California, the Christian States of America, and the world. Only Christian couples who can have natural children should be able to get married.

Oy vay, I seriously need to cut back on the coffee.

Professor,
You are obviously a product of current times yourself, long-winded and lacking relevant point. A hint for if you wish to interject future revelations: do not use 15 lines to fluff a point that can be stated clearly and concisely in 5. The authors of this site are simply bringing perspective to the Prop 8 scandal which now plagues California; the only reason they use quotations from the bible is to mimic the language and association which the fore-play of the 2008 massacre of civil liberty seemed incredibly fond of. I really do grow sick of this country’s politics, where a handful of loud persons can overwhelm the logic and reason of the majority and coerce them to voting in profoundly stupid ways.
To the original author of this particular comment, I offer you a gift of logic: if you arrive at a conclusion which seems irrational, check your assumptions as one of them is wrong. How this applies to your current (and prior) situations: there are many wonderful and many horrible things in this world, but few of them come as a complete surprise. Love with an open heart, and you will never be disappointed; but, if the conclusions you draw do not add up entirely, there is something you are missing. Someone does not “become” mean when they drink, they are mean and just keep it under control most of their day. Being successful in life is about being observant and learning the difference between ethics and aesthetics. I’m glad you made it out of the hell you had found, and I hope your heart remains open to the wonders of this world.

Truthfully yours,
B.D.

Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.

Another law can state, “Only marriage between two adults of the same religious faith is valid or recognized in California.” So that young non-Mormon women (like myself) can protect ourselves from abusive, dishonest Mormon men, YES! =]
