Henry said:I personally am opposed to homosexual unions, and unlike some people, see recognizing homosexual unions as regressive, not progressive. I am a christian, and I believe 100% in the word of God. The Bible is very clear in stating homosexuality as a sin.
Some might say that I'm "homophobic", but the truth is, I'm pro-family.
Others might say that you're regressive, willingly embracing the primitive attitudes of a 3,000 year old culture. But all of this is irrelevant: the question was not about what you or I might embrace or oppose, but about whether a secular government has any right to discriminate against such marriages based on your personal religious considerations, and the answer is clearly "No".Henry said:I personally am opposed to homosexual unions, and unlike some people, see recognizing homosexual unions as regressive, not progressive.

Are we forgetting that homosexuals come from heterosexual families? If I am hearing you right, humans will be denied rights by Christians if the Christians don't agree with what they are doing. How does Christianity stand on premarital sex?Henry said:I think you must remember that this Nation was founded on christian principles, and (unfortunatley) over the years has regressed into a secular government.
Now, studies have confirmed that children do better in a natural family setting. By natural, I mean one father, and one mother. We can see this is true even with animals. The thing is, children need both a mother, and a father to do well, and mature normally.
Lastly, the main reason that homosexuals want their unions to be recognized is for health benifits, etc. I truly believe it has very little to do with love, and is more like lust. I thought (before I got married) that I was in love many times, but the truth is that I was simply being satisfied sexually. Now, I'm trully in love. (with my wife) That's all for now.
Really? I have a copy of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and Alexis de Toqueville's Democracy In America within arms reach, and I'd rather that you not presume to instruct me on founding principles, particularly since you would almost certainly get it wrong.Henry said:I think you must remember that this Nation was founded on christian principles, ...
