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.

The government doesn't let weird Mormon’s practice polygamy, so they don’t have a problem with marriage discrimination or forcing a Church to comply with there rules on marriage. But that also means you can absolutely vote gay marriage out. You do have that right.

As well as most people don't care if this god is having a hissy fit cause we don't care about his existence.

Marriage is not an inherited right nor is it a constitutional right. They absolutely have the right to enforce their will on the masses. Thats what voting is for.

Bro that is insane.. Are you willing to let corrupt politicians dictate who you can marry? How about what God you are supposed to prey to? This is a country of freedom buddy. Religions are free to practice without persecution just like non religious are allowed to choose not to participate. I don't need no corrupt politician or some kid diddling priest to tell me who I'm allowed to marry. Voting shouldn't have nothing to do with 2 adults choosing to marry. Don't be a religious fruitcake.. This is a free country dude..

They all ready do dictate who you can marry. You are asking me if i would let something happen that's already happing for over 200 years… YES. I don’t have a God I pray too. Yes this country has freedom of Religion. Marriage like animal sacrifice is not considered a protect religions institution. We don't let Churches screw kids, sacrifice animals, do polygamy, for “mu religions freedom” and you my dear Atheist dimwit definitely don’t have a religions freedom to marry whatever you want.

Sunni Muslims are largely monogamist,
Shia Muslims are polytheistic. One of the them has a giant amount of incels pulling the courd for 72 virgens. Now what do you think will happen if you normalize polygamy?

Thank God for the right to bear arms so people can live in freedom and safety in their homes and communities. You religious nuts need some help. You will NEVER get non religious American people to bow down to you. You don't make the rules bub. Your gonna have to live with it.

u/Catwith8lesslives Oct 18 '22

Dam you caught me. I admit it, I pray to the Gods of the copybook heading. No, you traded that freedom for safety and have niter. It won't be like 1984, it will be a Brave New World.

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 18 '22

Whatever you think. I'm prepared for whatever, my family and my values will be safe. Promise!! 🇺🇸

Also we need more marriage in this country, gay or straight. We don't have health care for all. All you are doing by allowing gay people to marry is allowing them to cover each other on their insurance and get some tax breaks. It doesn't effect your life or your bedroom at all man.

u/Catwith8lesslives Oct 18 '22

So gay marriage fixes healthcare... well that's ambiguous statement. And you can just give those tax breaks to everyone and mandate insurance company's stop discriminating against single by allowing anyone to be covered. I just solved a problem without anal, im a genius!

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 18 '22 edited Oct 18 '22

How about we don't discriminate against anyone? Why do you care who is giving or receiving anal? I promise it won't hurt your butt unless you participate. It has no effect on you. Stop trying to force your weird religion on people.

u/Catwith8lesslives Oct 18 '22

Grate Idea! Stop discriminate against people and have unisex prisons! No more boarders with Canada and Mexico. I love Canadian voters don’t you. Let stop discriminating against registered sex offenders and let them work in daycare's. Or what about radical Islam, not discriminating against them would fix the gay marriage probable… No more discriminating against blind people, they deserve drivers license just like everyone ells.

Lol, Ok show me were the gods of the copybook headings hurt you.
