And just exactly why do we have to have "standards" for who can and can't marry? Just another example of the church (not God) being about power more than anything else.
Apparently "intelligent" Christians" are people who make unreasonable and incomplete arguments. The denial of reality and an admiration for ignorance is maddening to me.
holy fucking shit, this is making my head spin. one could write a book in response to every completely fucking insane "point" that is made in this video. I am angry simply for having added to this video's view-count.
One more thing. How the hell is the first guy in the video - the douchy, tommy lee-looking guy - qualified to give advice??? Not that the rest of them are making any sense. I guess what I'm saying is, AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Ridiculous lady at the end of the video, how is it offensive to compare gay marriage to interracial marriage? If you can tell a dude not to love another dude, why can't I tell a black person not to love a white person?
People can't be counseled out of being black, but they can be counseled out of engaging in miscegenation, which is merely a behavior and a lifestyle choice.
You know, we always hear "I can't change being black" from these xtian folks, but is that really true? I mean, maybe you could make a black person pass for a white person.
1) Dye hair
2) Colored contacts
3) Skin bleaching to literally make their skin "white"
4) Simple cosmetic surgery
No self-respecting black person in the world would do this to themselves to fit in. But that's not the point. The question is, is it possible?
After all, if you make a 'black' person look 'white' enough so that most people believe they are white...well, is that changing their race? If it is, then why isn't racism ok? If it isn't, then why do they think that making gay people 'act straight' is the same as really changing them?
Christianity, in particular Catholicism, is responsible for Western Culture. Christianity has contributed more to liberal arts over the past 1500 years than any other religion or group of non-believers.
Yep. We got standards about who can get married, which is why convicted serial killers, like Ted Bundy, can get married while incarcirated. Supreme Court said it's their fundamental right. Glad to know the ReligiousFreaks got Ted's back.
@21: You're glossing over the fact that the Church was a major art patron only so far as the artists created works of art that furthered church ideas, and even then, that art was censored. There were artists whose entire job was to paint strips of floating cloth over the naughty bits of the previous artist's subjects, to make the local Church official happy.
21 oversimplify much? yeah yeah institutional christianity was the only form of hierarchical civilization for a thousand years, but that was what we call the dark ages. and if you really believe your last sentence, especially that is more than just dressing, you are just wrong.
Want an alternative lifestyle? I spent Holloween with my daughter, my ex-wife, her boyfriend, his kids, their mother, my girlfriend, and some friends.
Talk about confusing for children.
Where's the video about the effect of divorce on children? Why aren't the Christians all up in arms about that?
"Intelligent" Christians like the ones in the GOP/TP remind me of educated dog turds.
good production values christians! always trying to appear legitimate!

And if I divorce my wife to marry my mistress, can I act all Christian and shit, just like my personal hero, Newt Gingrich?
