I'm re-posting a question I asked about a day ago. I'm hoping that I'll get more(or different) answers when there's less traffic here. And I'm still annoyed by that question mark.
1.) Why does it matter if the definition of the word "marriage" changes?
2.) Why does the "tradition" of marriage matter, despite many gay people getting married in the past?
3.) Regardless of whether or not homosexuality is a sin, why do you care enough to prevent two people from obtaining a legal document?
4.) What effects would gay marriage have on your life?
5.) Why is it any of your business?
6.) If you believe in only allowing heterosexuals to marry, would you agree that marriage should only be recognized by X church and not the state?

Thought I would bring this up before I forget, U know about the end days in the bible. The part when it talks about gold plated armor. What if that has already happen. I mean think about it. When the Romans where big back then, they wore gold armer. And that also was doing a barberic times. I not sure if i have my history right. But did some group of people kill anyone who said they were christens. I'm thinking it was back in the roman days. What do u think, Got any insight on that?

ive come across so many people saying stupid **** because they dont understand ****

this rant is mainly about the goth subculture...i will specify what goth truly is for some of the twits on this site

Goths do NOT worship satan, satanism and goth do not overlap at all the only connection is possibly a few goths that are
Goths are NOT all angsty teenagers, most of the true goths are in their 20s or 30s and maybe a few teenagers
Goth is NOT the same thing as emo, goth is more of a personality in the darker sense of things, its just they way goths are, emo is more of a trend
Goth music is NOT traditionally metal, darkwave, industrial and EBM is more traditional for a goth, too many people get us mixed up with metalheads...im not saying i dont like metal, its just not traditional goth, some examples of goth bands are Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Cruxshadows, Seraphim Shock, The Birthday Massacre...this list could go on all day

ill be adding more right away so yeah...

It's becoming more noticable year after year
the people employed by the public service are
in a better situation than the workers of the
private sector in wages, securaty, and benifits.
This is beyond the balance of tollerance and
should be regulated by income of the private
service. Why should a person working in the
private service, pay more taxes to pay a person
more, doing the same or lessor job in the public service.It seems the best paying jobs in the future will be Teachers, Police, Fire, & other services. This doesn't make sense to me.

Ok, there is something I don’t understand. Is there not a law that says that government and religion are to stay separate? I’m not asking sarcastically, or to make any point. I believe there is, but I honestly don’t know for sure. Assuming there is, how can bush say that we have to protect the sanctity of marriage? Isn’t that a reference to the Bible’s definition of marriage? If there isn’t a law saying that church and state are to be separate….A.) there should be, and B.) If we are trying to protect the sanctity of marriage, why don’t we shut down these places in Las Vegas where drunken vacationers go to get married by an Elvis impersonator, only to get divorced the next week? I mean, is that what we are protecting? And also, I know that the first amendment gives us all equal rights. How is limiting gay and lesbian’s to civil unions and commitment ceremonies equal, or fair. Is it not just like when we had segregated schools? That wasn’t fair, or equal. So, isn’t it kinda unconstitutional to tell homosexuals “You cant get married, but you can have the next best thing, because marriage is reserved for the heterosexual society“? I want to know peoples options on this regardless if you are for or against gay marriage. I only ask that your respectful, because I’m not looking to make anyone mad, or have anyone go off on a tangent. I’ve tried to word this so it wont offend anyone, and if it dose, I apologize. I’m just curious.

I went to a chrisitan/catholic schools, I have friends that are all sorts of religions. I was grown in a Hindu/Buddhist family. I belive all religions have their morals and point of views, but it is hard to believe that certain religious events actually taken place, besides the point, also, we all do the same things like eat, sleep, work, party and we can all get-along. On the other hand, there is violence in the middle east that involves religion. like hindus and muslims, christians and muslims, or Hindus and christians all have violent conflicts. I THINK ITS STUPID, because I seem to get along fine with everybody else. If it were true wouldnt their be only 1 religion? I think we can all believe in what we want. Im not sure if I belive in god or not, but I follow different philiosphies to seek what is out there. Im young, in school, have alot of friends and never hurt people and stay away from crimes. I am not a bad person. So what is wrong in this world?

(And I ain't sayin' that a liberal can't be a Christian.)

I mean, these two groups are near the top, if not at the top, of the list for being responsible for everything that is going wrong with our country (the U.S.).

What's the deal?

A true just and loving God wouldn't allow all the endless pain and suffering of children and innocent victums in the world.

Either there is no God, or he's neither just nor loving.

Take your pick.

(I don't believe in Santa Claus either.)

I know so many people that are christians that started just like ME! I am not an athiest at all (never have been), but I am not a beleiver in ANY religion. Some strange things have been happening to me lately, though. So I am simply seeking additional information, and am surprised at what I'm finding. My question is: what actually CHANGES PEOPLE from one end of the spectrum to the other so completely? Many of my christian friends and family members used to be athiests! What happened?

Mi voz se quebra al recodar
Que solamente fui tu juego
Pues eres todo para mi
Que tonto fui, estube tan ciego

Me duele tanto tu traicion
Pues eres lo que yo mas quiero
Hubo un intruso entre los dos
Que nos decia que era amigo sincero

Parece mentira que me allas olvidado
Y yo que tanto te he amado
Y ahora estas con el

Parece mentira que en lo brazos
De tu amante no recuerdes que juraste
Por siempre ser me fiel, parece metira
