Surpeme Court Gay Marriage Cases....

[Kidlicious]

You're the Son of God. You are waiting for the sign to start your ministry. Your mother tells you to fix the wine problem at a wedding.

Now, if Kidicious is right and Jesus didn't care about marriage or weddings were unimportant to him - explain to me why Jesus did what he did, there, at the Wedding of Cana?

Good night! It wasn't so they would have wine at the wedding party. **** you are stupid.

If it is, then this first miracle or sign of Jesus' ministry points directly to the first miracle and sign of Christ's condescension: "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:14).

Your job is to convince the religionistas like me that there is sufficient evidence to procure the change.

Nobody has to convince you to be a good human being. If you can't get there on your own, nothing we say is going to help. Our job is to tell you how horrible you are until you die.

**** Sava, you almost made me spit coffee on my keyboard.

Some day there will be a time when Poly says something that I haven't already said to myself.

treating people equally garners respect

So you cannot respect people unless they are married?

So Jesus must love wedding parties then if he wants to keep the party going.

Studies have shown that children from rich families do better than those from poor families. So are you arguing that there is a compelling interest in the the state to promote these kind of relationships over others via marriage... and that poor people shouldn't be allowed to marry because their kids will have it worse than rich people kids?

Studies show that the surest way to start out poor is to grow up in a broken home. So yeah. I'm an evil capitalist. I want people to get rich and well off and where they get there is by getting married and staying married.

And you claim that God is clear in the Bible? That figures. Marriage is symbolic. It has nothing to do with being between a man and a women. He used the symbolism of marrage to make the point.

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Man, that Jesus totally was symbolic there. I guess the 'man' is symbolic for 'dominant partner' and 'woman' is symbolic for 'submissive partner'. Yeah, I totally get that vibe from Jesus.

How does it feel when a Catholic is more a literalist than you?

Heterosexual married couples do what is bad for them by getting married

If it is qualified that it is good for a man not to marry, it is also true that it is good for a man to marry.

How many times have you been asked if your mother dropped you on your head when you were a baby? That's not symbolism in Genesis. That's a description of marriage between a man and a women as a punishment for sin.

What?!

[Kidlicious]

I wouldn't say such a horrible thing about a literalist. There aren't words to describe the horrible way that you interpret the Bible.

[Ben Kenobi]

There aren't words to describe the horrible way that you interpret the Bible.

Even so, you're arguing that Jesus symbolically meant something else in that passage other than 'man' and 'woman'. While the Catholic is arguing that the words mean what they mean. Clearly you've got off the rails if the Catholic is more literal than you.
