Sorry Charlie, but it's not what you profess but your actions. If I pissed you off, GOOD. Perhaps you will stop and look at your actions.
The questions you asked were totally off topic and also none of your business. Sorry, fact.
Then, in response to you saying...

Which also brings up a good point, and that is the evidence of what marriage is supposed to be today, according to Jesus.

Totally irrelevant to the discussion. If anything, such a consideration MUST be dropped from any discussion of the issue as illegal.
you made the very strange respnse...
No it isn't really.
Just because Jesus's name comes up, doesn't make it religious. It's a discussion of the history of marriage. If the contract of marriage evolved from what Jesus taught us, then we should respect that.
Sorry son, but that's is simply bullshit. Once you bring in Jesus you are trying to impose YOUR religious beliefs on others.
Also, marriage goes back far before Christianity, even long before Judaism. And marriage today is not a religious rite, it's a legal, secular contract. You cannot get married without a marriage license from the state.
It's secular, just like the US is a secular nation, thank GOD.
You believe in Jesus, why wouldn't you consider that?
Because it is illegal, thank GOD.
Do not complain that I am opressing others.
Why. You are. If you oppose same sex marriages you are oppressing folk. No two ways about it.
I get the feeling jar, that the Jesus you believe in, is totally different from the one I belive in.
In the last days, there will be followers of men.
Try re-reading everything I wrote in this thread with an open heart, and mind. And please take into consideration that you are insulting me when you call me an opressor.
Well, I certainly hope that the Jesus I worship is different than what you express.
Re-read what you posted and guess what, if you oppose same-sex mariage you are oppressing people.
It really is as simple as that.
