The bible doesn't say it's a sin for gays to marry. It says it's a sin to perform homosexual acts. Two homosexuals marrying is no different then two con artists marrying and teaming up. It's an extreme example but it still holds.


Sorry but that is misleading and nonsensical.
It would be like a priest blessing two con artists to go about their business, knowing they are con artists. Which the church doesn't do, last time I checked, what with it being a sin and all.

Simple, require the legal and religious marriage to be performed separately. Legolas - 12/08/2010 02:58:43 PM 1236 Views

It's not the same name that's confusing so much as the single ceremony. Or so it seems to me. Legolas - 12/08/2010 03:37:20 PM 1274 Views
