Post by KatPost by KatPost by NefeshBarYochaiPost by KatPost by bd4u.utahWould not be an agenda in politics if
the government were not involved in
religion. Marriage is based upon religious
belief. It is not a secular one. As such it is
unconstitutional for government to license
and/or legislate the affairs of Marriage.
There is absolutely NO provisions in ANY
religion that gives the State power over
marriage.
Indeed, since government has become
involved in marriage look what has happened
to it as an institution.

Post by KatPost by KatPost by NefeshBarYochaiPost by KatPost by bd4u.utahThe covenant of marriage is between man,
woman, and God. No where in the covenant
of marriage is there the Government. That is
of course unless the Government makes it
their business. Which in my humble opinion
it shouldn't, and there is ample evidence to
prove it.

A few times a year, I take people out of my kill file to see if they
are still the close minded sod that I last encountered. You failed to
disappoint.
Where is this evidence to support that government interference is
causing marriage to go down the shitter? If you examine history.. you
know... FACT.. marriages have run foul for a very very long time, eve=

common societal problem than the bible itself discusses affairs and
other marital problems.
Two people in love wanting to live together has nothing to do with
religion, particularly in a country where atheists have the same
rights under the law as people of faith. We are all human beings..
black, white, male, female, muslim, christian, gay, straight,
transgender.. we are ALL one race, one tribe. To deny any subgroup of
the human race their fundamental rights as people is morally,
intellectually and spiritually wrong.
This is not a theocracy. So long as "marriage" as an institution
impacts our taxes, our insurance and even our right to visit our love=

to recognize "common law" marriages.. no ceremony required. As such,
religion no longer "owns" the term.- Hide quoted text -

All I know is the best policy is for the government to put a bounty on
all homos and let hunting licenses to hunt gays be issued from the
Department of Wildlife. =A0Then we could get rid of all those
cocksuckers and sodomites and clean up humanities act in the process.
Crime and plagues would go down and the majority of people would live
happier than we live now.
I genuinely hope you are being facetious. If you aren't, you are the
reason why we have laws to protect people from hate crimes.- Hide quoted =

I seek to gather strength among good people by gathering a coalition
to change the laws both locally and federally so that homosexuals can
be bountied, then hunted down and slain in order to prevent disease,
plague and demoralization of the American people. We can look to the
Torah where it is written that says: =93You shall not lie with a man as
one lies with a woman Leviticus 18:22. The Torah makes is clear that
homosexuality is an abomination. Any adult who commits this sin
intentionally and with full knowledge of what he was doing is to be
stoned to death. If he has no prior warning, the consequence is
excision; if this sin was committed mistakenly, a sin-offering has to
be brought.
Abn Ezra says: Homosexual relationships are forbidden because they are
a perversion of nature and an act of disobedience to the will of God.
In sex relationships, God intended man to be the giver, and woman the
receiver. He then cites the following statements by other authorities
relating to this prohibition: (1) a man must not have sexual relations
with a man who has changed his sex and has become a woman; (2) a man
must not have sexual relations with a hermaphrodite. (Ibn Ezra holds
that sexual relations between persons of the same sex, or between
humans and animals, are forbidden because they cannot produce
offspring. These sexual relations therefore represent =93spilling one=92s
seeds in vain=94)
Nahmanides says: Homosexual relations are forbidden because they are
repulsive and because they cannot result in offspring.

Some people reading what you wrote might conclude
that your call for the death penalty for homosexuals
is just a return to an old Jewish tradition. I mean, here
you are quoting Torah and scholars and all. Now, I was
willing to give you the benefit of a doubt before
looking into it -- coulda been that you guys wacked
homos back in the day. Got pretty brutal. But, see I
don't take anybody's word when it comes to heavy
shit like this because let's face it -- it's real easy to
make up stuff that looks right to somebody but
it's really bullshit and then you use it to mess
with people you don't like. Like the Nazis did with
the propaganda that Jews were sub-human and such.
No disrespect, just making a point is all. Anyway,
when I found this explanation about capital
punishment for homosexuals in Jewish history,
I say to myself, see, smart to look into this for
myself and not take the word of just anybody:
"However, even in Biblical times, it was very
difficult to get a conviction that would lead to
this prescribed punishment. The Jewish oral law
states that capital punishment would only be
applicable if two men were caught in the act of
anal sex, if there were two witnesses to the act,
if the two witnesses warned the men involved
that they committed a capital offense, and the
two men - or the willing party, in case of rape
- subsequently acknowledged the warning but
continued to engage in the prohibited act anyway.
As such, it is not surprising that there is no
account of capital punishment, in regards to
this law, in Jewish history."
Not even "rarely imposed" -- "there is no
account of capital punishment, in regards to
this law, in Jewish history."
So like, you're gonna start a *new* "old" tradition?
Do you think you're a prophet or something?
You sound like a bitter old man to me who
just gets off on hating. We need *fewer* of
your kind here in America, not more. Don't
come around my neighborhood looking for
trouble because you will find it. Stay in your
room. Think about what you're representing
and pray or study or whatever, but you need
to get your head on right, and you're head
is just not right right now and I just proved it.
