Obama says same-sex couples should be able to marry

[68Charger]

Here is food for thought or a discussion point: the bill of rights arose to ensure that the government did not infringe on rights we all have as a result of living as free men, they are inalienable. Thus, the right to bear arms is a right all free people have; the second amendment did not give us the right.

Liberals complain that the constitution is negative and does not protect positive rights, such as housing, wealth redistribution.

So if the government does not create rights, only God does, then why does the right to marry have to come from the government?

Remember a government that creates rights will also take them.

^^^ This, the 2nd amendment doesn't grant us the right to bear arms, it EXPRESSLY forbids the government from creating laws that infringe upon that right which citizens already have.

I seem to remember a few stories in the Bible involving gays who weren't immediately turned to salt...

Just because it's in the bible, doesn't mean it's endorsed. The destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah for example...

Not sure where you got that from this: "The relative morality in this thread is based on Judeo-Christian theology. I find it fascinating that people who are so strongly for personal liberties when it comes to firearms are do opposed to it when it comes to sexuality."

It has NOTHING to do with religion. It's about equal rights and protection under the law. Why is this so difficult to understand for some people?

Funny, then, how it's always the so-called "Christians" that are the loudest and most vocal opponents of gay marriage.

Because there aren't any gays in Iran? Islam certainly speaks out against homosexuality- you just don't hear much arguing where the punishment for coming out of the closet is DEATH

This is one double-standard of Political Correctness... there are many people that are offended by homosexuality, but those that are offended are attacked... but refer to illegals in certain ways, offending someone, and the offender will be attacked. Basically, you're not PC if you don't agree with "them"

welcome to the double standard- both sides do it, it's human nature. There are usually 3 sides to every story- side A's argument, side B's argument, and the truth.

Don't let the Westboro money-grubbers (because that's what their gigs are about) lead you to judge all Christians.
