"What I don't want is things like kids not being able to talk about their Mom and Dad because it might offend someone."
I agree. They should also be able to talk about their dads or moms without offending people.

Because you'd have to change laws in every state and in every country around the world in order to get real parity. People travel. The idea you're proposing is called "separate but equal". Look it up. It didn't work so well the first time we tried it.

I agree, your strawman is stupid. Oh, and I can spell "stupid", stupid.

So... God is the source of all evil, then (something, iirc, that is actually stated outright in the Bible at least once, and indirectly a couple more times)?
I think that when, in Ezekiel (?), God says that he creates good and evil alike, it might be better to think of it as "weal and woe", not "virtue and corruption".
The problem in What's conceit is that he/she seems to believe that if there weren't an overarching God, we'd have no sense of ethics and/or morality. So...where would God get HIS ethical/moral sense, if nothing overarches him? No double standards, mind.
If to men or two women want to do what ever it is they do that is for God to take care of.
And obviously god doesn´t care, else he would have done something about it.

That's funny; it's never cause me any problems. We even have a gay couple living next door. Of course, then again, I have a good job, an almost paid-for house, a half a mil in my 401(k) and full medical insurance. I take care of my own business and let my neighbors take care of theirs. Maybe "what" should be worrying about his own business and not what consenting adults are doing in their bedrooms.

Right so far. Leave it to God, it's no concern of yours. Now, if only the rest could stay sane...

Huh?
That is just stypid. What is wrong with civil unions and changing the law to give civil unions the same monitary and personal rights married people have?
Because that's separate but equal. Which can't be equal. We went through this 40 years ago!

If you want to think that, fine.
"What I don't want is things like kids not being able to talk about their Mom and Dad because it might offend someone."
I've got to agree with him there. In seriousness, the idea that someone might get offended by mention of another's parent offends me more than it's ever going to offend the child of a homosexual couple. It's almost as stypid as when England disallowed teaching of the holocaust so as not to offend Muslim students whose religious beliefs are against murder (...'cause absolutely no other faith has such beliefs. And at no other time in history did any act of mass bloodshed occur. Ever.) If I were a Jew, I'd be many times more offended about it no longer being taught than any Muslim will ever be from being taught about it. I say this having neither the perspective of a Jew or a Muslim, but I can't imagine many disagreeing.
Anyway. If civil unions will have all the same benefits as marriage, how's it any different? And if homosexuals are allowed them, how's it going to help your supposed problem of homosexuality?
"What I don't want is things like kids not being able to talk about their Mom and Dad because it might offend someone."
There are situations other than gay marriage that don't involve a mom or a dad, ie. divorce, death, missing parent, etc. Any law about not saying "Mom" or "Dad" is not going to be passed.
LOL, if God doesn't exist how can evil exist?
How can evil exist if an all loving god exists?
What is wrong with civil unions and changing the law to give civil unions the same monitary and personal rights married people have?
Whats wrong with just calling it a marriage? How does Adam and Steve getting married affect you?
"That is just stypid."
The post in a nutshell.
Good and evil can coexist without a divine being. Why would kids not be able to talk about their mom and dad? It takes some real stupidity to believe that. But at least he's willing to admit that homosexuality is only a small part of his problems with the world, and not the majority of it. That is a very, very, very tiny step ahead of most other fundies.
It's at least good that he has a live-and-let-live attitude.
It's more of a live-and-let-got-torture-them-later attitude, really. From the perspective of an atheist, that's fine because it has the same end result as live-and-let-live; they leave us the fuck alone. It still makes this guy kind of a hateful jerk, though.
"That is just stypid." It's not only stypid, it's dum, moranic, idiottic, ignerent, rediculuos, imbacelic, inaine, fulish, peurile, dence, doultish, minedless, gullable, and thick-headded!
That which is defined as 'Evil' are those acts committed by individuals not capable of realising that they wouldn't like being harmed by others, thus committing acts that harms other people.
Humanism is taking responsibility for your own actions (behave to thers as you would wish them to behave to you). Remembber, religions don't have the monopoly on morals.
'God' doesn't enter into it. Thus 'God' doesn't exist.
If two adult people love each other, what's wrong with them having equal legal rights, regardless of their sexuality?
Besides, what have gay people ever done to you? They certainly haven't done anything to me, and I'm straight. I have no problem with gays, so what's your problem with them? Homophobe, much?
LOL, if God doesn't exist how can evil exist?
I think you got the whole 'problem of evil' thing backwards. It really goes a little like this:

"if God doesn't exist how can evil exist?"
Indeed (emphasis added):
Isaiah 45:7: 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil : I the LORD do all these things.'
God created the angel Lucifer, even with full knowledge of what would happen in the future. Which means God created Satan. Thus God = Evil. Therefore God is a contradiction to himself, ergo God doesn't exist. QED.
Confused?
