(on the subject of homosexuality and marriage)
For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God. What do same-sexs make a bond with?

Uhm, you know, even though I am a guy and I've had relationships with guys, I have also had relationships with women (yes, bisexuality does exist) and I must tell you... God was never involved, even though those relationships were heterosexual in nature.
Actually, the homosexual and heterosexual relationships were kind of the same, both when it comes to love and lust. So I guess you fail? "Same-sexs" bond with the same as "different-sexs"; each other, in (hopefully, usually) beautiful love.
As usual, the arrogant god-botherers have trouble conceiving of people who don't think the way they do. Plenty of heterosexuals don't see any necessity for religion or "God" in their marriages.
Dpareja in the first comment said it as well and succinctly as it can be. I'm just dittoing.
My sister is not bonded to god, christian or otherwise. Judge no priest, priestess, pastor, or other religious leader was involved.
"For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God. What do same-sexs make a bond with?"
For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God
How does that work? Does it apply to bigamous relationships? Civil marriages? Polygamous marriages? Re-marriage after divorce? Marriage in other religions? Defacto marriages?
For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God.
So when you get divorced, why do you willfully break your "bond with God"?
As a liberal Catholic preparing for marriage, I beg to differ. Marriage is a bond with your spouse. Many people of faith choose to make that bond a public covenant before God (thus a religious marriage ceremony), but it is not a bond with God.
Because of this erroneous belief, Fundies notoriously treat single adults as lesser Christians.
Faith + 1
"I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus, I wanna feel his salvation all over my face."
"Body of Christ sleek swimmer's body all muscled up and toned! The body of Christ oh lord almighty, I wish I could call it my own!"
"Whenever I see Jesus up on that cross, I can't help but think that he looks kinda hot."
For everybody in America, it is a bond with the state. I still don't understand how the fundies can claim that marriage is a religious institution. You can't get married without a marriage license, issued NOT by the church, but by the local courthouse. In other words, the government.
Um... I thought marriage was supposed to be a bond with your spouse. I thought that was like, you know, the point? Not to mention, if you're going to ban homosexuals from marrying because they can't have a "bond with god" then are you going to ban heterosexual couples that don't believe in god too?
Each other! Can you possibly be so thick?
I hope you enjoyed being married to God.
I have never heard of someone having sex who wasn't making a bond with God, so I really don't know what you are getting at.
Incidentally, I have heard people use other names, like Christ and Jesus, but some things, like "shit", should never be declared holy. And you should never say "fuck" to God's face, even if it's the ritual you choose to bond with God in. In the future, please refrain from insulting God while you are bonding with him.
Considering that marriage is now a legal union rather than a religious one, I'd say that same-sex couples bond with each other.
It's no longer the Church that determines whether or not someone is married, or allowed to get married, because even if you want to hold the ceremony in a religious institution, you'll still need a license from the government stating that you are allowed to get married in the first place.
"Well I try to live by the bible, but it tells me that my thoughts arnt right.
Because they told me to love Jesus
Well Im gay for Jesus, fill me with your grace
-Bo Burnham's 'Sunday School'.
I don't know, maybe with each other?
If I remember it correctly it was said to be a bond made BEFORE God (as in "in front of him"), not WITH him.
but in being a heterosexual guy, wouldn't being married to an old guy with a beard in the sky kinda, I don't, make you gay and not heterosexual? Oh, and of course, that same god person created rainbows didn't he? Kinda makes you think don't it?
"For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God."
So male fundies are bi? You said it SonicFanFuentes, we didn't!
No, for Christians, it's a bond with God. For Christian homosexuals, it's also a bond with God.
For us non-religious people, it's a bond with the person we're about to marry.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
