Fire On the Earth Presents the Marriage Series
So you THINK you know that the Church's sacramental marriage is based in religion alone?
What is Marriage?-Sociological Benefits Recent studies have surprisingly shown what most people know by instinct- that children raised by their biological parents is the ideal- and that only happens with one man and one woman.
The State and Marriage- what is the secular interest in Marriage? Why should the state care at all?
Revisionist logic- debunking the irrational thinking of the movement to redefine marriage
And finally, after all the secular arugment, we get to the religious reason- spiritual battle.
But I find it interesting that the LAST is last. Spirituality follows REASON, Reason comes first.

Because????
Marriage is marriage and there are all kinds. Any way you look at it, this is all about Christian taboos against homosexuality. It goes all the way back to Paul dissing the Romans. Its never going to change. It is just going to be bypassed.
If you really feel that way, you have missed the whole point of Chistianiy and turning the other cheek.
Which do you want, because you can't have both. Either accept my right to be Christian and stop the bullying, or let me become atheist, and realize that I may still not be on your side and that I've learned well from the bullies in my past.
I'm not trying to destroy anything. I'm just trying to convince you that you can't apply Catholic rules to other people.
And because of that, I consider them to be lying even about their own sexual attraction.
Wow. You really believe that. This is why this country has to protect itself from Catholic extremists. The main purpose of the First Amendment is to protect this country from being ruled by any one religion.
This is just part of your irrational disdain for homosexuals. Its a phobia.
And you think gays have a phobia against procreation? What about those who start families with the help of sperm donors and surrogates? Do they have the phobia too?
And I'm beginning to wonder if the First Amendment was a good idea in any case, not just isolated abuses of it. It was, of course, the result of 700 years of monarchs attempting to, and often succeeding, in taking over the church and abusing religion for political gain. But it occurs to me that a vow of poverty for politicians would have worked out much better.
No. That shows a desire to procreate. Not a phobia against procreation. You've got it backwards.
That's a narrow-minded, prejudicial and judgmental statement. Have you no shame, Mr.Seeber?
