It's not anti-christian, it's anti-bigot.

There's a difference?

Christianity is not bigotry.

I can't see one post thats anti christian. You cannot post something as contentious as you have without sparking some sort of debate, afterall this is a forum for debate.

Just a few points on your petition:

People should not feel pressurised to go along with same-sex marriage just because of political correctness.

No, people go along with same sex marriage because we live in a society that (on the whole) doesn't descriminate. Doesn't it say in the bible love thy neighbour and God doesn't descriminate?

They should be free to express their views

Just like people are doing on here you mean?

the consultation provides an opportunity for members of the public to say they do not agree with redefining marriage.

There are 70 million people in the UK and you have 500,000 signatures. That means 69.5 million haven't agreed with you. You are in the minority here.

If marriage is redefined, those who believe in traditional marriage will be sidelined

For me to understand your campain better and make an informed decision could you please explain how you think I as a married woman will be sidelined when I know for a fact I will not be sidelined as I'm not as bigoted as you.

It's not discriminatory to support traditional marriage. Same-sex couples may choose to have a civil partnership but no one has the right to redefine marriage for the rest of us.

The first line is rather contradictory to the rest of the sentance imo. You are trying to persuade us you are not being descrimatory then go on to be descimatory by saying same sex couples can only be allowed to have a civil partnership but because its a same sex union they can't get married. And by "rest of us" I assume you are talking about hetrosexual couples? No discrimation there then.

If your views are "Christian" then I'm glad I'm not in your gang.

I must've missed the memo when christians became the sole owners and definers of the ancient and aboriginal ceremony of marriage.

I come up against this argument a lot. Do you think God would disagree with Christians saying theft or murder is wrong? No, he wouldn't. Sin is sin. Loving thy neighbour is doing as you would be done. I would hope my fellow brothers would strive to correct me if I were sinning.



I agree, freedom of speech is important. However I reserve the right to admonish those who abuse it to libel my viewpoint.



No.

A counter-petition exists. It has in the region of ~25,000 signatories. So who is in the minority?



You will have you marriage labelled as being the same as a plainly sinful union.



Again, you're getting hooked up on discrimination. I believe same-sex relations to be wrong. Do you think society discriminates against murderers or rapists by sending them to prison?



That is your prerogative. I can but share the Good News.

Because that's the same thing isn't it?

You've just embarassed yourself by stating that people who choose to share their love with someone of the same sex are equivilant to those who take a life or violate others against their will. Any credability you may have had just flew out the window.

its just not worth arguing with a bigot suffering from religious delusion. I have no problem with anyone believing any crap they like but when they attempt impose their supernatural views on the lives of other people they cross the line
