Marriage isn't a right, but a privilege.
What?
Marriage is not a right. Driving a car is not a right. Health care is not a right. Confused? Dumb ass.

We Catholics are taught that some sins are worse than others. Murder is worse then stealing, which is worse than swearing. We tend to interpret the Bible using common sense.
My point isn't that I think homosexuality is a "sin" only that the New Covenant didn't make "sin" disappear. It isn't personal, it's what the book says. I don't believe the religion, I don't think you're going to Hell... nor Heaven for that matter.
I just really want you to get it through your head, me not being Christian does not mean I don't know that book. I couldn't have possibly lived my life and not know that book.
Oh, he's going to hell...
Twisting words again to mean what you want them to mean???? LOL Shine your light. Not shine a light, reprobate.God is the final Judge, but the case is quite clear. And as Catholics, we are told to shine our light, even if is a harsh light.
You'll note that came much later, long after you introduced the concept to the thread. This square peg doesn't fit into that round hole.
How is anything shoved down your throat? Don't like gay marriages? Don't go to the freakin wedding and ignore the rest. Allowing gay marriage will not effect you one iota.
Thats it ?.....thats all ya got ?
===========================================================
Marriage, from earliest recorded history was instituted because societies needed a secure environment for the perpetuation of the species, a system of rules to handle the granting of property rights, and the protection of bloodlines.
That alone excludes homos.....
Marriage is a religious rite.....it was instituted for specific reasons.....to serve a specific purpose......
calling the union of a man with another man marriage is a mockery of what marriage was instituted for......

"We Catholics"???? Isn't that a laugh. You have about as much credibility and standing as a thief in a jewelry store. Where does it say that homosexuality is worse than anything?
And more importantly, why didn't Jesus address it, directly, if it is so important. The truth is, it's only important to you, as you use it as a sledgehammer to condemn others, while ignoring your own sins...puffing yourself up, to appear to be self-righteous and "more holy", of which you are not. Where in the world are you getting these degrees of sin? We interpret???? Don't you mean, "judge", which Christ instructed you not to do?
You sure on that one, Damo?
So you say...I could say the self same thing.
I'm not judging, I'm telling.Which is a sin, in and of itself...judging where I'm going. Nice going. I suppose you'll be seated next to the Father, what with all your kindnesses and humility.
Hence my earlier statement that I enjoy these conversations specifically because you are knowledgeable.

I've forgotten, which church do you attend? (Not the place, the affiliation.)
