People are too CRITISIZING!

You people don't look at what God really says in the Bible. He says, Men should be with women and vice versa, BUT I want my children to be happy living the way they are happy. So why don't you guys critisize something different than our president and the gay people, because they are no different than me and you. Get a life and stop talking about people the wrong way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gay marriage

gay marriage is disgusting!!!! gays have a right to be gay of course, its America right? yeah but showing our children and family members that marrying as a gay American is right is wrong! im not much of a bible person but even god says that being gay is wrong so why should gay marriage change that? it doesnt think about it!.............................

Yes it does, Fred...

The first part of the verses you mention say you are to love God with everything you have. Can this be done when people do what is contrary to His will? Homosexual marriage is a sin. God made marriage to be for one man and one woman. Even Jesus testifies to this (Matt. 19:4-6). Paul mentions very clearly that homosexuality is a sin in his epistles.
