Spare me your self important preaching. You don't truly know God if you buy all of that biblical drivel.

What on earth are you afraid of? Are you going to get da ghey?

The idea of that COMES FROM religion, and if you can't come up with something a bit more rational than "but...but...marriage is a man and a woman" then you HAVE no argument and it is just a knee jerk reaction.

So God meant the part about gays but not the part about shellfish?

Okey dokey, good to know I have you to tell me which are "real" sins and which ones god was just kidding about.

You can get married in a courthouse- a ceremony in a church is not a legal ceremony. You must get that marriage licensing from the court. Whether or not churches want to perform the pomp and circumstance portion is irrelevant as it isn't needed for marriage.

Except that, marriage existed long before Christianity did.

If everything that happens is predetermined and God's will, then it stands to reason that it was predetermined before I was even born that I would not be "saved". God brought me into this world for the sole purpose of sending me to Hell? How cruel. And dint give me that free will argument-either everything is known and predetermined by god or it isnt- you cant have it both ways.

Though, I have always been rather fond of the cruel god of the old testament. Sending bears to eat groups of children? Striking people blind? He is suspiciously similar to Odin, yes, suspiciously so.

Monotheism is greatly overrated.

You are forgetting that we aren't mandated to be Christian in this country.

What is your justification for forcing "god's law" on the masses?

I don't know..in this case it sounds like the squatters were the ones fixing the house up...

Why was the property vacant so long if not in foreclosure? Why did they NEED to fix it up? I would rather see someone living in and maintaining a home than see it empty with a neglectful property owner letting it fall apart.
