Should Churches be forced to accomodate for homosexual weddings?

[Unkotare]

Comprehensive Civil Unions could address any equal protection concerns. When all is said and done, it comes down to a 'fight' over a term and one minority group trying to use the judicial system to impose social acceptance that might take place on its own over the next 4-5 generations. All the fussin' and fightin' over this issue is rarely about 'rights' anymore.

I would say however that churches who wish to exert a right to discriminate against same sex couples regarding church weddings should be required to eliminate the civil/legal portion of the marriage from the church ceremony, if they don't already,

and the actual civil marriage should take place separately.

 

[Moonglow]

THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE ABOMINATION OF SEXUAL PERVERSION SHOULD NOT BE PARENTS OF CHILDREN,THAT WOULD BE CHILD ABUSE OF THE WORST SORT. Think

Like Mary's baby's daddy, God? No child support and was never around to raise the kid...had a child out of wedlock...tsk,,tsk...hell they lived off of donations by the Magi's..

Do you believe in the separation of church and state?

 

[usmcstinger]

The First Amendment forbids public law from forcing anything on religious institutions, just as it forbids religious institutions from imposing their will on the public.

So churches should have the right to discriminate against homosexuals?

How about against racial minorities as well?

You need to do more research on who goes to what churches. Hispanics are predominantly Roman Catholics. The Church welcomes all who believe in it's teachings.

Overall, about 41% African-Americans think homosexuals should be accepted by soiciety and 46% do not.
However, you need to read the following link to become better educated.

I know you'd like us to think you're new around here and all that but here's a news flash.

Gay people can raise children. Just as well or better than you breeders.

The jury is still out on that issue. Common sense would indicate that being raised by a couple of homosexuals would not be a healthy environment for a child.

No, it's not. It is clear and substantiated that same sex marriages raise people just as well.

Yes - but what kind of people ???

Churches sanctify marriages. The state provides licenses for marriage. The state should not prohibit access to marriage licenses. What churches do is up to them, but Gay marriage will be legal regardless of sectarian approval.

Yes, that's why the church should have to separate the civil proceeding from the religious ceremony if they want the church marriage to be protected under the 1st amendment.

Just how much of a hypocrite are you? Using the term "breeder" derisively while defending the notion of gay couples raising children? You do now where children come from, don't you? Your attitude undermines your own position.

 

[koshergrl]

I actually could care less if the church has state authority to marry people or not.

 

[GreenBean]

1st Amendment will protect churches in their private behavior.

If a church, however, advertises and holds out its property as a wedding center for a fee, then that would not be very smart if the congregation did want homosexual marriages performed there.

Jake - you seem to have contradicted yourself - was that just your usual stupidity or a typo

It already is. Once the license is purchased from the state, the marriage is now the church's marriage.

 

[JakeStarkey]

"Capitulate to wrong-headed judicial rulings on the subject, and thereby implicitly aid-and-abet the wrongful legitimizing of homosexuality... an aberration in the eyes of God, Nature and Man?"

Complain to God and Nature then.

Man disagrees with you.

Wrong headed is in the eye of the beholder.

Get SCOTUS to change it if you can, but, remember, the Constitution is a secular document.

Marriages are legal contracts. Weddings are conducted at churches (often).

Yeah. That gay couple might teach their kids that homosexuals are not evil!

THE HORROR!
