Guys, are you kidding w/ this hypothetical statement:
“The world will only change for good when people decide that they can stand on their own and take responsibility for themselves.”?!Until now, I didn’t meet a person that can stand on his own and take responsibility for himself...
... but, there is a hope:
“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) -

he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit
So is this for or against gay marraige?
-
Okay, I take that as a no then.
-
“He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit”
is for ‘vine and branches’.Re. “gay marriage”, this is a nonsense expression.
When two homosexual people pretend to be a family , because they cannot procreate, even their beings become human ‘mistakes’!The men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly…, …
Sinful, vicious, and disgusting!!!Anomalies:
For a homosexual person, a woman is a second hand human being…, or a surrogate…!
Gay mariages are doubtful and inexplainable for children…
Child adoption is another nonsense re. gay mariages, because gays aren’t parents…! -

Just for starters, since when has procreating been the definition of marriage? Trying to tell me that I'm not married because I have no offspring? You psychotic 'people of faith' make me despair of humanity.
-
So by your logic if a woman or a man has fertility issues they should not be allowed to marry as they cannot reproduce. This is the same logic that looks at fossils and dinosaur bones and still persists the earth is only a few thousand years old.
-
Like all institutions it either evolves or dies. I know that is a difficult concept for you to grasp Cornel. Marriage used to mean legal institution of bondage of women's livelihood to a man in many cultures however that is no longer the case. Women's role in society changed and so have marriage. Despite the fact that many people of 'faith' would like to see that situation 'rectified'. If gay people want to get married then it will change the institution of marriage to a new definition and NOT the other way round.
-
Tim,
When a person affirms that he/she is on a correct position as a gay, that person pushes his/her parents into eclipse (irreverence)…
Reproduction is one of the primary functions of the family.
“Gay marriage” expression, must be eradicated, because it refers to a ‘gay coalition’, not a marriage.
Aren’t gays enough ingenious to invent and use a proper expression for their conjugations?!
-
Pete, I reiterated:
"Aren’t gays enough ingenious to invent and use a proper expression for their conjugations?!"Re. family ‘atributes’, reproduction is one of the primary functions - it excludes gay people!

Really? im surprised we live in any semblance of a functioning society if that is the case.
If this is also true of yourself i'm not sure i want to continue the discussion. If you cant take responsibility for your own actions i dont trust you.

I was thinking something similar. Most people usually take responsibility for their own actions. As to where we would be without the strictures of Christianity…the answer is probably not very far from where we are now. Obviously, our entire cultural and Architectural heritage is predicated upon Christianity, but basic morality is fairly universal.
The British Celts that were invaded by the Romans were very far from being Christian, but they had a society in which women could attain the highest positions. It took Christianity another 2000 years to catch up with that…and Islam still has a long way to go in that respect. They also took responsibility for the young and the old and the handicapped…at a time when the Romans were casually disposing of unwanted infants on the local rubbish dump.It still looks a really cheesy movie, though.

With reference to Celtic female warriors/Queens, Boudicca may have been the first lesbian

I think the real crux of the matter is whether it'll be worse than transformers 2. Currently looking good for transformers 2 with the following reviews:

Fallen indulges Bay’s excesses well past the point of reason to deliver the male teenage cinematic equivalent of snorting cocaine off a hooker’s ass.
@unknownuser said:
I’m certain that someday it will be acknowledged that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like the most totally awesome artifact ever of the end of the American empire. It’s so us, a preposterously perfect reflection of who we are: loud, obnoxious, sexist, racist, juvenile, unthinking, visceral, and violent… and in love with ourselves for it. […] What we have right here is the Easter Island statue of our legacy.

Michael Bay has once again transformed garbage into something resembling a film, at least in the loosest sense: it can be run through a projector and used to sell millions of tickets.
-
Pete, with a dead husband and two raped daughters, I find that highly unlikely. Just a woman who was REALLY pissed-off…and we know what they can be like. Still, maybe it'll get a rise out of someone.

Here is a link for an interesting movie talking about the 2012

"What is man..."?!Remus and Alan,
While I affirmed that
“until now, I didn’t meet a person that can stand on his own and take responsibility for himself...”,
I mentioned olso that apart God we can do nothing. (John 15:5)Conclusion: there is a possibility to stand..., but conditioned!
Please, do not denature my message!Cornel

Actually under Emperor Justinian I particularly due to the efforts of Theodora, his empress, women achieved unprecedented social political and legislative stature. It didn't last though. The Islam thing is also false. Historically women in Islamic worlds achieved higher legal status than most western christian countries at the time, most important of which is the legal ownership of property (pre-marriage ofcourse) the right to divorce which was not common in the West until 19/20th century. Thing in the Islamic worlds are being portrayed as going into regression by the western media however that is also unture. For every countires like Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan we also have more than seven head of states including Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, Mame Madior Boye of Senegal, Tansu Çiller of Turkey, Queen Rania of Jordan, Kaqusha Jashari of Kosovo, Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia and Bangladesh was the first country in the world to have a female head-of-state follow one another four times between Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina — each winning two elections each. Something the US has yet to achieve.

Well, I’d count Justinian and Theodora as more Byzantine Greek than Roman, Chango, although I certainly recognise Theodora’s emancipated views as well as her humble origins. I take your point, but in the Western Empire of the 1st century AD…contemporary with the Celts…the plain fact is that most women…however patrician…had very few rights at all.
And Benazir Bhutto may have headed the state, but what’s the position of the average female in Pakistan? -

Where did that come from? On another note is Byzantine Empire not also calld the Eastern Roman Empire? I don't think anybody is going to dispute the position of 'average female in Pakistan' or what ever construct you deem that to be. One has to remember Pakistan is a 3rd world country. When have you been to a third world country where womens rights are greatly upheald? Economics and peoples rights are intimately interwined it would appear. Which makes it even more shameful, not less that the US has not had a female president.

You're making a really good run at proving you're deranged. You also demonstrate a serious lack of historical knowledge, biological knowledge and ability to understand actual facts. I suggest you either learn some science or just leave.
