Luis,

Your book sounds fantastic. I'll check it out!

Thank you for pursuing the truth and sharing it with us.

Kevin - The hypocrisy of your quote is laughable! "Getting parishioners to vote on political issues is imposing church doctrine on everyone, faithful or not." Get real. A call to action is a tool used by all sides in a debate. I can think of many instances where the GLBT groups used Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, email etc. to mobilize the "troops" in an effort to promote their agenda. Don't complain when the other side uses their tools to mobilize and coordinate their efforts. My personal view is that you have every right to happiness but you don't have a right to define what I believe is a marriage relationship: one man and one woman. Further I believe that kids do best with a mom and a dad. I don't see how one of the males in a two male relationship can be a "mother" figure nor how one of the females in a two female relationship can be a "father" figure. Are my feelings based on religious dogma? Nope. Are my feelings based on some imagined hatred I have for GLBT people? Nope. They are based on own personal thoughts and feelings. Nothing more, nothing less.

Kevin, Are you suggesting, once again, that people of faith shouldn't vote their faith? Why not? We have a right to vote, do we not? At that, wouldn't it be hypocritical for people of faith to not take action? Or would you just like us Christians to idly stand by and let the cards fall where they may? Lastly, isn't voting the best way to "speak out?" If not, what would you suggest?

Yes, we should all support "queering" of elementary school children through our support of homosexual "marriage" . Kevin Jennings, the pedophilia supporter and our new public school "safety" czar has expressed this as his ultimate goal. After all, we all want our sons to spend most of their time at STD clinics and see our daugthers live angry and frustrated lives.

Kevin, calling homosexuality marriage doesn't make it marriage. Nowhere in her papers does it say that homosexuality is good for kids. Try reading that one again.

Denise,

Maggie Gallagher says that having married parents is better for kids than having unmarried parents. She says that the children of married parents do much better in life than the children of unmarried parents.

that's a new one. Homosexuality is good for children??

You've got to be kidding.

I don't think redefining marriage to include same-sex couples will do any more harm than redefining marriage from being a lifetime commitment to a temporary one. And letting same-sex couples marry would be really good for their children.

do you base your happiness on what other people do or don't do? That's not a healthy way to be. Pursue happy lives the way you like, redefining the institution of marriage won't help you there.

The moral thing to do, is to let homosexulas pursue happy lifes like the rest of the society.

“Tax exemption is not a government goodie handed out for keeping your mouth shut. On moral issues, the churches have a right and a responsibility to speak out. The government is forbidden from muzzling churches on moral issues via the constitution. Just try to tax a church and see the constitution come raining down on your parade.”

No one is questioning the “right” of churches to speak out. It’s the meddling in the political system that is troublesome. Getting parishioners to vote on political issues is imposing church doctrine on everyone, faithful or not. That’s the problem. Speak out all you want: against abortion, birth control, adultery, divorce, etc. But these things are legal in a secular society, as same-sex marriage, a civil and legal right, ought to be.

Hopefully the people of Maine will stand up for their civil rigths.
Religious people who based their morals in myths from the bronze era will lost this battle.

Good point Marty, Seriously if both get tax exempt status, should both sides not even be able to come to the table? Lots of organizations are tax exempt and allowed to speak out.

It appears to me that most of the pro-gay marriage organizations are also 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profits. I suppose Kevin wants them to lose that status, same as he wants to deprive it of the Catholic church.

It's extremists like Luis who prove that NOM has an anti-gay agenda. Maggie and Brian go on TV saying things like "We have nothing against gays and lesbians; we wish them the best, but marriage is between a man and a woman."

One only has to read the blog here to see what NOM supporters really think—that gays and lesbians will bring about the fall of society as we know it. Bizarre.
