If our government was not so stable, do you really think the christian radicals would be any different. Look at what happened in Bosnia.

Re: Another Christian Viewpoint
We don't morally agree with getting drunk either, but its your choice.
Your self-righteousness is getting old and is very off putting. Actually it is insulting.
Since when is getting drunk a moral or religious issue. Many christians get drunk quite regularly and I doubt that many think they are going against their church. Intoxication of varying forms is a very important part of a number of religions.
Oh and I am sure homosexuals the world over are relieved that you deign they can marry.
Saying that you are ok with homosexual marriage because there is nothing you can do legally to stop it doesn't endear you to anyone.
I realize you, and other christians like you, are not morally superior to the rest of us, don't you?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Another Christian Viewpoint
or ignored some valid logic
Traditional marriage was a sacrament.
Marriage is not an expressly christian or religious institution. You might actually want to research the history of marriage. I think you will find especially interesting marriage during the christian period. Very few people of the "common" people actually got married in the first millenia and a half of the christian era.
The rest of your post is just weak apologetics. attempted proselytization and insults so I will not bother to respond.

Re: There is no argument, Oni One Way
Sexuality is a choice.
So we should throw out all scientific evidence to the contrary and believe what you spout?
Sexuality is a primary and basic human behavior. Repression of sexuality can result in all sorts of behavioral issues. But it seems you are ok with people suffering as long as they adhere to your "moral" ideals.
