Why in 2008 did you vote for somebody who didn't like gay people?

Men and women are different. As such both a father and mother bring something unique to a marriage and parenting that the other can't based on gender. I believe that as fathers, men offer a role that is unique and best filled by a male. Same for mothers. To say that a union of two men or two women is equivalent to a union between a man and a woman is to deny gender differences. Perhaps the end of gender distinctions is the ultimate goal of those favoring gay marriage.

Disclaimer: I have NOT said that gay men or women cannot be excellent parents. I have NOT said that gay people are not entitled to equal rights.

There are pretty clear reasons for that right?
- in one case the person isn't old enough to make a legally binding decision
- in other cases you significantly increase the chances of genetic problems

Neither of those apply in the case of homosexual marriage between adults.

Do you think men should have the right to marry 5 women at the same time? ( assuming they suffered brain damage at some point in their life )\

edit: nevermind, you just answered it

Because that particular verse is derived from the Torah which is rejected by Christians because it includes the teachings of Paul which corrupted Jesus

Please list what a father brings into parenting that a mother can't, other than semen.

I really don't want this turned into a biblical debate, but jesus actually uses this "commandment of god" when he is bitching out the people from Jerusalem that are messing with him. I assume Christians these days still follow the gospel of Matthew

For God said, "Honour your father and your mother" and "Anyone who curses his father or mother will be put to death."

Here is another great story about the tolerance of Christians.

You should be proud as a christian.

I believe you are the one who said:

"why you are against homosexuals being allowed to marry?"

You'll have to pardon me for assuming that you wish to define marriage as a relationship between people who, regardles of hetero or homo orientation, wanted to have sex with one another.

Please explain to me where my post was in contrast to any of this. At the end of the day, I merely challenged Enrico as to why, he is all over the gay marriage issue, but he is entirely comfortable with people who think gay people should not only be prohibited from getting married, but should be put to death.

Lie? No.

You say it is, but you don't say how it's a lie. Are you going to just whine about it, or are you going to tell me what makes it a lie?

This nimrod can't make a post without 3 swear words, but I'm the one with anger issues. I can remember 20 odd years ago, going all GRR on you guys. when Art Tarnow who is now a federal judge in Detroit (appointed by Clinton, as left as they will ever come so I'm not generally inclined to agree with him but I respect how sharp he was) said something about the use of profanity when making an argument that I carry to this day. Ultimately, don't use it, because your audience has totally disengaged from that point forward thinking "Did he just say/use that?". Excellent advice. You should take him up on it. I know, you "don't give a damn about what Christains think" that's why you jump all over any issue involving old school biblical/Christiancomments. And you're so open minded that you think NY is the center of the universe "I don't give a fuck about Boston". Nothing like the "toleration" of the left, you're brilliant as long as you're at the right cocktail party and writing the donation checks to people who think just like you.

It is too bad the search fx on this board sucks like it does, but I am entirely confident you have, over the years attempted to demonstrate your liberal bonafides by pointing out that you are married to an "asian" and/or "phillipino" chick, and that (in the shadow of the cut of your stay puff marshmellow man jib) you sought to demonstrate the racism of tea partiers and/or those you otherwise disagree with politically by reporting their racist comments about your wife (for some reason I recall you mocking them as slamming her for being mexican/hispanic-ha ha they were too stupid to understand she was asian so ignorant they just saw her black hair and dark skin-again I am handicapped by the search fx). We can work this all night, but I'm pretty confident my recollection of you being a 6'4" glass jawed pussy, willing to jump all over someone who won't punch back while giving a pass to those whose position is 100 times more extreme, is correct.
