GUEST,Don Firth BS: On Same-Sex Marriages (812* d) RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages 02 Sep 07


And, "Caretaker," what, exactly is "immoral" about a same sex relationship, legal and sanctified or not?

Early on it was frowned on because there was an injunction to "go forth an multiply" to increase the size of the tribe. Later, Paul, of New Testament fame, inveighed against it without giving any rational reasons. And, in fact, there are some well-known theologians who contend that the "thorn" in Paul's flesh that he complained of but never explained might have been that he was aware of having homosexual urges and knowing it was against Jewish law, overcompensated. His occasional homophobic outburst is consistent with the behavior of the closet gay who has nailed the closet door shut even against himself.

Now, what's your objection really all about?

Don Firth

P. S. And, in the light of the First Amendment, what justifies bringing religiously dictated "morality" into discussions of the passing or not passing of what amounts to a civil rights law?"
