- The real reason: these people don't like gays and it makes them uncomfortable. That's bad. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 07:42 11
  - Mostly it's that their religion tells them homosexuality is wrong. - Inigo Oct 27, 07:54 3
    - The same passage in Leviticus also admonishes the eating of shellfish and that never stops tons of these people from eating lobster. - Diva Oct 27, 08:35

  - [deleted]
- lose freedom of religion? what is he even talking about? doofus. - Epiphany Oct 27, 07:31 7
  - when it was an issue up here there were a lot of paranoid fears about churches being forced to host gay weddings. - Reagen Oct 27, 07:34

    - except that no-one has ever ever ever ever suggested that would be the case. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 27, 07:43 1

    - I don't think I've ever seen a gay marriage proposal that would force churches to perform same-sex weddings against their beliefs. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:34 11
      - Marriage is a sacrament; they equate govt marriages to be the same as the sacrament. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:36 10
        
        as far as i know, you aren't ACTUALLY 'married' without a marriage license. that's a government issue. - Danger Girl Oct 27, 07:46
        
        Currently, the Catholic Church is not required to perform marriages between men and women if they don't agree with the union - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 07:46

        the bifurcation of religious and civil authority in our culture is a very recent one, culturally speaking, occuring over only the last 400 years or so - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:45 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        sure, but your opponents are talking about the institution of marriage as understood since the beginning of time (about 8000 years ago, give or take) -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 08:01
        
        Hey, I'm not saying I agree with it. Just the why. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:44 2
        
        About the only religious invocation at mine will be once I see the bill. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 07:47 1
        
        The only reason the Catholic's recognize my marriage is because they have to. They would refuse to perform my ceremony. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 07:59
        
        I wouldn't mind this solution either. But then I'd get accused again of appeasement towards the anti-gay-marriage crowd - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:38

    - go you! -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:31

What annoys me about the price of oil going down... - secretslacker Oct 27, 07:24 18
- What annoys me is that the price of gas is no where near what it was the last time oil was this cheap. nm - Jim Oct 27, 07:46
- What annoys me about the price of oil going down... - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:26 16

      - Hey, any time you see actual progress being made by those who matter, let me know. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:30 9
        
        which is precisely why we need a sustained increase in oil prices. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:31 8
        
        not really. people will continue to work on it and when someone comes up with something that will support a business model, it will take off -- nm - zork Oct 27, 07:33
        
        Yeah......it won't happen. OPEC won't let it happen. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:32 6
        
        barring a sustained research and development investment by the US government, true. - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:42 5
        
        s'ok. a country like India with the desire for high efficiency and an actual good car manufacturer like Tata Motors will figure it out...nm - x Oct 27, 07:47 1
        
        I don't disagree. and I think it's remarkable how much of a disconnect there is in our society between the idea of energy efficiency and its incumbent - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:49
        
        In our current political climate, i don't see anything happening. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 07:45 2
        
        it wouldn't bankrupt them, necessarily... - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 07:47 1
