So your claiming that 60% of the nation refutes gay marriage for the same reason? Did Prop 8 in Cali pass because everyone out there is a fundy bible thumper?

Yea - I didn't think so...

I am not a church going person, nor am I really all that religious, but from what I found online about gossip (which a LOT of so called "Christians" partake in), this is what the bible says about that:

Since your not religious, it would behoove you not to spout theology - else the following happens....

Proverbs 6:16-19

"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers." (Bolded relevant part).

There - I fixed what should be bolded and underlined for ya. Your welcome for the correction, though I doubt it will do any good.

Since people are saying that it's in the bible that homosexuality is a sin, and thus should be outlawed, why not make gossip a crime? It's in the bible that it's not right to spread lies against your fellow man.

Nice strawman - no one suggested making outlaws out of gays. Big difference in refusing to allow them to subvert traditional marriage and locking them up for buggering each other. And gossip, really? Is that the best you can do? You do realize that even tongue wagging women yapping over the backyard fence often are not telling lies, but are gossiping about facts known. Should lies be outlawed? Well, in some ways they are - try fibbing to the FBI sometime and watch em charge you for it.

Its ok to feel strongly about your position, but lecturing others when you don't have facts - or your theology - accurate - is what makes you look foolish. Throwing in baseless comparisons because they "sound good" does the same.
