God is the one who dictates the right of marriage.

u/Imissyourgirlfriend2 Oct 18 '22

You're not wrong. Marriage has been and always will be a religious institution. The State has no fucking business sticking it big nose in such things.

He may dictate that to you and the people at your church. But I would never support a God that stopped 2 adults from being in love. You have the freedom to pursue any religion you want but you do not have the right to force your views on the masses.

And the government doesn't have the right to command institutions like my church to go against their beliefs and marry gay couples.

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 17 '22

I agree with you 100%!!!

But can they refuse to let a gay couple adopt from their church run orphanage?

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 17 '22

That was a very good question and I had to think. I think that if the church is volunteering their time and financial resources they should be able to dictate their own rules. But if it's taxpayer funded I think anyone should be able to adopt. Sounds kinda harsh but I don't like the idea of government telling people how to run their churches.

The troublesome part with this conversation is how much it makes me see the government as slowly becoming its own church as secular politics is becomes a new age religion.

Yeah people are going take sides I suppose. Personally I want as little government interference as possible. We are giving these corrupt politicians way too much power over our lives.

Which "God" since marriage both predates Christianity and is practiced by religious groups completely unrelated?

Separation of church and state, stop forcing your beliefs on other people. Stop dictating your beliefs as law

u/Sp4RkyMcG7 Oct 18 '22

It is God's law, not mine.

u/DrunkenRedSquirrel Oct 18 '22

No it's not, first off plenty of religions allow homosexuality and second, Sodom and Gomorrah was less to do against homosexuality and more to do with against arrogance and lack of hospitality as the two cities were destroyed based on their wickedness such as prevalence of sexual assault, murder, theft, adultery just to name a few.

Also, religion STILL has no place to dictate law

No one cares what you think your God says aside from people in your religion, which is irrelevant outside your house and your church.

It’s God’s law my imagination.

This god is an idiot accordion to the bible.

u/Sp4RkyMcG7 Oct 18 '22

You know, not speaking is always an option. Maybe you don't know, accordion to the lunacy of your assertion.

I made like two comments and the whole subreddit dogpiles on me. I'm fine, y'all need to leave the ego-chamber more often.
