Would'nt it be such a nice thing to do (giving homos the right to marry) knowing that it tears apart the whole aspect of marriage. No wonder people in other countries want to see us die! As far as homo marriage being compared to a racial issue, keep in mind that those who were/are under racial prejudice did nothing wrong. Homos bring adversity on themselves by CHOOSING to be the way they are. If they want to get married, they should go to a country that "accepts" it as a lawful union and stop trying to destroy something that, we in this country, value as being set aside for a man and a woman.
However much you might believe that homosexuality is a "Choice" it isn't. Rather, if you talk to anyone that is homosexual, it is the way they are, and they know no different. Such is the case for transexuals. Transexuals feel, act, and desire to be the other sex because their brain tells them that they are the opposite sex than that of their body. Homosexuals however take pride in being the sex they are and loving their same sex. There are theories in Psychology that suggest that homosexuality might stem from chemical imbalances, hormonal changes during fetal development, and what not... however evading evolution because of its elusive ability to happen during fetal development... as well homosexuals are also known to marry women and produce offspring because of fear of coming out. There is a lot more to it than the ignorance that you live in.

We were given free will because he wanted another being that was equal to him. The angels were considered servants for him, and no us as well.

simple question.
You know killing is wrong. Why?
Before the Bible and the commandments, Killing was viewed as aggressive and wrong. Why?

Disagree.. people are ethical and moral without religion.. they are totally different things.. however, people like to think that religion is the basis and end all to be all of morality and ethical concerns. Humans are capable of learning/knowing good and bad without religious teaching.
We know these things instincively because they are attributes given to us by God! We are created in his likeness. You should also know (since you seem to know alot about the bible) about how sin/the fall of man corrupted what God gave us.

You're ignorrance overshadows the truth. When a person decides they're homosexual, a choice is made between right and wrong. Damn, it's hard to be normal in this world these days

I believe our instincts tell us that killing is wrong. Even animals who arent created in gods imagine morn the loss of a collegue or pack member.
