Laihendi isn't talking about your beliefs, he's talking about what it says in the bible.

The only way I really feel about the homosexual issue is this - homosexual couples shouldn't be able to adopt children. I mean marrying is one thing, but those with defective brains shouldn't be raising kids, it would be like letting a retarded couple raise kids (I'm fairly certain if there isn't one mentally competent parent the kids are taken by social services).

Are you !@#$ing stupid?

Generally, I feel Homosexuals are more intolerant of other people's views. Case in point.

So a guy says homosexuals are mentally incapable of raising children and therefore it should be illegal for them to adopt, but because Laihendi gets angered by that, Laihendi is the one who is intolerant.
You people are idiots.
Seriously? Homosexuals have defective brains? Because Laihendi is offended by that he MUST be intolerant... /sarcasm

If you become offended at someone's views because they clash with something you hold very dear to your heart, that is OK... but when other people do that to you, it is unacceptable.
Double standards are ridiculous.

What if Laihendi said... this
The way Laihendi feels about the race issue is this - black couples shouldn't be able to have children. Like, marrying is one thing, but those defective brains shouldn't be raising kids, it would be like letting a retarded couple raise kids (Laihendi is fairly certain if there isn't one mentall competent parent the kids are taken by social services.
Do you see how incredibly perverse someone would have to be to say that? Saying it about homosexuals is no different.
Oh and by the way you're intolerant if you disagree with the quote (just for you MyTie)

Well.. call me intolerant...
Without commenting whether or not the quote would be accurate or not... it would still be counterproductive to reply:
Are you !@#$ing stupid?While you might be accurate, you still aren't going to make any progress toward helping the person understand thier error by just insulting them.

I'd assume it's just water, nothing chemicly different just H2O. The only thing that seperates it from other water is the same thing that seperates real money from monopoly money, the belief that it is special and holds a value unique to it. It doesn't take a priest to make water holy(which is how I think it's "made", a priest says a prayer and declares it holy) holy, all it takes is you believing it's holy. Which in reality makes it not so holy after all lol
Interesting... I've never read this in the Bible before... 'Holy' is just... whatever you think it is... hmmm.... did you just ad lib this?

Laihendi thinks that most religious beliefs are absurd, but he still believes that everyone should have the right to practice them if they want to.
Bigots like TheMediator believe that homosexuals should not be allowed to have certain rights. THAT'S the difference.

I don't think Gays should be able to legally get married.
Just saying that... your probably going to /flame on... but listen to why first...
I don't think the government should be able to regulate any religous tradition. Marriage is a religous tradition. Government should not be able to say that homosexuals, heterosexuals, blondes, frogs, or bricks, should be able to participate in religous ceremonies.
Therefore, I wouldn't vote for something that made it legal for gays to get married.
I also wouldn't vote for something that made it illegal for gays to get married.

The institution of marriage is older than Christianity.

Depends on your definition of Christianity...
But by contemporary understanding, you're right... it goes way back to Judaism.

Well... I'm out for the night. I wish I could get Laihendi to admit that my view of Christianity is not a bigoted view. That seems out of reach for the time being though...

The way in which a marriage is conducted has changed over time, as has the institution itself. Although the institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history, many cultures have legends or religious beliefs concerning the origins of marriage.
Recorded history can be defined as human history that has been written down or recorded by the use of language, whereas history is a more general term referring to any information about the past.
It starts in the 4th millennium BC
, with the invention of writing. The period before this is known as prehistory.Considering that marriage is older than recorded history, you have absolutely NO WAY of knowing if Judaism is older or not... and that's assuming Judaism predates recorded history (Laihendi hasn't been able to find an estimate for when people began practicing that religion).
Laihendi just lost a lot of respect for you.

I'm very close to saying nothing but bad things about pretty much every person who's replied so far in this thread.
Wowhead has come to this? Pass.
