Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
These kind of disputes over doctrine have been troubling churches ever since there were churches. Read the history of Christendom and be glad that we are just arguing verbally about stuff like that now. In the past people went out and fought religious wars over differences in doctrine, burnt thousands at the stake, killed hundreds of thousands in battle, gouged out people's eyes, and generally committed mayhem on one another. The only "rights" that concerned them were their own...mainly their right to dictate to others how and what to believe.

We've clearly made some progress in the last 2,000 years.
