Chumly:
Quote:How so? Tolerance does not mean I should excuse Mama. Sadly she will hurt homosexuals by denying them their union with god. Mama is not allowing the freedom of choice and behavior that we talked about earlier.
Neither are you.
Quote:Tolerance is very important, but so is protecting those that do not have the same rights as you and I.
I agree, but is it really considered "protecting" when you are bashing someone else over the head? Are you saying then it is ok to hurt one in order to protect another?
Quote:Mama is wrong in that I am not against her, but I will try and help anyone that is not treated equally and fairly. Remember it used to be women, Native Indians, Jews, Blacks and Homosexuals.
I live in Canada and homosexuals can get married here just like anyone else, so it's been there done that all over again!
Tolerance:
A disposition to allow freedom of choice and behavior
I understand what your motive is here chumly but being frank, your presentation sucks. Take a look at the very words that have come out of your own mouth:
Quote:Yes you are being heartless & cruel! You have no right deny homosexuals the right to get married under their god. You have no right to deny the love of homosexuals under their god.
You are doing the exact same thing you are accusing her of here. While I understand your position and and how strongly you feel about this, do you really believe it is any
more ok for you to deny her the right to give her oppinion?
Quote:You are abusing homosexuals by voting against their love and forcing them to live without their god.
How can you wield the power to destroy love so recklessly?
You are abusing her by forcing your oppinion about voting against homosexual marriage down her throat, then throwing in a little accusation here for dessert. You are from Canada, we are not. Apparently your laws are different than ours. She has a constitutional right to vote in any manner she wishes. You don't have the right to try to beat her to a pulp because you wouldn't vote as you would.
Quote:What is wrong with allowing two homosexuals to truly love each other in marriage under their god?
She has answered this question, more than once, but you don't like her answer so instead you choose to try to back her into a corner. To the person who believes and follows the teaching of the bible homosexuality is considered a sin. It's that simple. It's a different belief than you hold. Big whoop! Build a bridge and get over it please.
Quote:You may think we all have the same rights, but you are stealing the freedom from homosexuals to love under their god and forcing them to live with bigotry and prejudice.
Again forcing your oppinion down her throat and throwing a little accusation in for dessert. What you neglect to see is that her right to vote for or against homosexual marriage is
the exact same right the homosexuals have, as well as anyone else who disagree's with it!
Quote:The right to vote against a homosexual marriage is not a fair and loving right at all, it's a cruel, mean spirited, un-humanitarian, un-Christian travesty.
A vote against a homosexual marriage is a vote against Christianity.
I disagree. Again, they have the exact same right to vote here as we do. The way you treat those who disagree with you is in no way fair, loving, or right at all either. Rather it is cruel, mean spirited, un-christian travesty.
I'll try and get back with nifty responses
