I'm gonna play the asshole card right now and I apologize in advance.
Isn't denying gays the right to married "denying the rights of gays"? Like if Christianity doesn't consider marriage a "right" that's fine and all just tell me but like I'm kinda confused by your overall statement because of that.
I do understand like 99% of churches don't encourage followers to bomb abortion clinics and the like so I do see the general direction you're going in.
Now I'm going to play the asshole card and not apologize in advance for it at all.
Tiepilot and Calaway, shut the hell up. Honestly. This thread reminds of the evolution thread where you guys got your asses completely whooped BECAUSE you didn't provide anything factual. If you're going to debate the Bible, religion, Christianity, or whatever with a preacher you will lose simply because the preacher knows more Bible passages than you do simply because they've been more devoted to it and actually give a rats ass about it. Don't even try, you'll most likely be wrong.
FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, Christianity as a whole is divided into many "sects" (I know it's the wrong word, sorry) that in general believe in the same wholesome message and all of that crap it's just the little side details, focusing too much on the side details, and inventing facts to supplement those side details makes a bad "sect". For example the Westboro Baptist Church would probably be a fairly normal GOOD church if they didn't do all of their homosexuality spiels and just pulled the idea that god kills the military instead of the people doing "bad" out of the southwestern region of their ass.
If ya'll want to have a problem with Christianity fine, have it. But try to find something the entire religion agrees upon is bad instead of focusing on some small minority of inbred dorks in South that have a retarded morph and have a problem with that. You'll find there aren't many of those to go around.
If ya'll did a little bit of goddamned research your lives would have so much less stress and things to worry about.
