techboy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The married couple is two two religious experts with decades of professional experience who are formally trained, married by another similarly experienced religious professional. These people would disagree profoundly with you. And virtually every other religious expert with decades of professional experience who are formally trained disagree, including the higher-ups in the same organization, who are starting an investigation, and I doubt it's so they know to whom to send a wedding present.

Investigating what? Two vicars, one vicar, the fact that another vicar presided? Gay marriage is not uncommon in the Anglican church. The only notable item here is that it's two vicars getting married. Abomination? Meh ... intolerant homophobia is an abomination but two dudes committing as lifelong partners not so much.

Coach Williams Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 All of your beliefs, thoughts, and actions are an abomination...Does this mean we're going back to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah? Cause that would be swell. :applause: yeah....not so muach!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :doh: What would you know? The married couple is two two religious experts with decades of professional experience who are formally trained, married by another similarly experienced religious professional. What would I know? I know the word of God taught through 3 years of university experience and self reading and guidance from a variety of backgrounds and walks of faith. I know that the Bible is CLEAR that homosexual relations are an abomination and that Christ warned in the days of his return this behavior would be everywhere. These people would disagree profoundly with you. Than they disagree with God's will......You can't claim to be a men of God and then turn around and live an intentional lifestyle SPECIFICALLY spoken against by the one you claim to worship......While NO man is perfect but Christ so we ALL sin, I do not make a conscious effort to sin all day as these men do. They clearly have NO remorse for their actions. These are carnal Xtians posing as spiritual ones......Jesus also spoke of people who aimed for the narrow path and still fell to eternal damnation.....I pray for these two.... In contrast, your 'knowledge' is based on extremist end-time delusions you found on teh internets. Unfortunately your 'knowledge' on what I know is based off youu extremist anti-religious delusions as read ALSO on the internetz.....I don't have the faith it requires to walk as blindly as you do. You openly deny God before us nearly every chance you get.....the ironic thing about this is you know the consequence of this.... see orange....

Teller Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Meh ... intolerant homophobia is an abomination but two dudes committing as lifelong partners not so much. Spectacular mischaracterization. But hey, if you're anti-gay marriage, you're a homophobe. If you're anti-illegal immigration, you're a xenophobe. If you're anti-affirmative action, you're a racist. If you're anti-Obama, you're a smear-monger. If you don't believe in man-made global warming, your head is in the sand. Labels are much easier than honest debate. And by easier, I mean more lazy.

We're talking about KB/Coach Williams here and no-one else. He not only participates in the babe thread but choses a porn star, he has no interest in commenting on moral issues such as on divorce, adultery, excessive drinking, drug abuse, etc etc. ...but a thread on gay marriage and he's straight in with the abomination slur.

dcnativenerd Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Not too sure what to think of this. I mean...homosexuality isn't really looked well upon by most of the world's religions, including Christianity. But, it's these men's life, and I wish them nothing but the best. It's none of our business, anyway, unless they want it made known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't have problem with two guys getting married at all. Al though, when I see two guys in front of me kissing, I get a queasy feeling. I'd rather not see it. That said, it sucks that we will all die before Coach William's dream of 6 headed Zebras and 6 dicked toads happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaldeje Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I believe homosexuality to be a sin. However, I also believe adultery, dishonesty, etc to be sins as well. If we prevented people from getting married (or holding church offices) who committed sins, well, not many people would be getting married. My argument with this line of thinking is with those who profess Christianity, but deny this is a sin. I have trouble with that. In addition, I detest the attention-drawing nonsense that seems to be evident here. The confetti, trumpets, etc are all about attention. Why is that necessary? Have a normal wedding if you want, but why rub it in the faces of those who think it is wrong, just to prove a point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaldeje Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Confetti and trumpets? From the original post: The bishop of London said Sunday he would order an investigation into a wedding-like church service for two male priests.The priests exchanged rings and vows in a service at one of London's oldest churches marked by a fanfare of trumpets and capped by a shower of confetti on May 31, Britain's Sunday Telegraph reported. And Larry, my face wasn't at their wedding. I suppose I should not generalize, you are correct about that. However, my personal experience with these kinds of things is that the people involved are often times much more interested with "showing off" the fact that they are pissing off people who disagree with them than they are with actually celebrating their own blessed event. Of course, these two may be only about their love, and if so, congrats to them. If however, this celebration is more about the event, and less about their love, I find that disingenuous at best.

How many people who think it is wrong do you figure had their faces at the wedding? 2) And how many gay marriages (never even mind "gay marriages between two Anglican priests") have you attended, to base your personal experience with what's going on inside the heads of the people involved?

Are you telling me you believe these things never have a social or political agenda behind them, at least marginally? 2) 2, thanks for asking. I had several friends in college who are gay, and got married; their ceremonies were far more about personal agendas than about their own love. Again, as stated by me above, I do think homosexuality is wrong, but I don't think people shouldn't get married because of it. I just have a hard time with gay marriages that have obvious political or social agendas behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
