"POINT: It’s a sin against God.
COUNTER-POINT: God makes rules for you to follow. I can’t argue against that. However, put yourself in the shoes of non-followers:
If my Aunt Jemima bottle started talking to me and started making all kinds of rules, I wouldn’t go around trying to assert the laws of Aunt Jemima. Even though she declares herself to be a supreme authority, and says that to not follow her would mean spending eternity on a griddle, that would be between them and Aunt Jemima. And get this… Aunt Jemima says that heterosexual marriage is a sin, and anyone who engages in a heterosexual lifestyle will be damned."

POINT: It goes against what God INTENDED upon CREATING a male and a female. In the book of Genesis, God created female from the rib of the male Adam. He said that she was to be called woman, because she was taken from man. That she was to become a compliment of him and a helper of him. It goes along the line of what the Bible describes as the arrangement of Headship. Since God is organized in all of his ways so as to create the best unity and peace possible, he has set standards of this sort so that we remain united in God’s ways. God is head over all, and as the Creator of man, has the right to set standards of how we should live. Not only does God deserve our obedience, but he sets these standards for our loving direction so that we can live a happy, fulfilled life. God is head over all, man is the head of woman, and the head of a man is Jesus.

I know what was just said that religion is the only good argument against homosexual lifestyles… but did you know that those who do not have religion also set laws among themselves based on their own reasonings and conscience? Laws that are against murdering, stealing, even prostitution?? God forbids Stealing, Murder, Prostitution or fornication and adultry. If this is natural without God’s standards or religion in view, we must have some conscience and need concerning how to live in harmony with one another, and God’s standards are really not burdensome in this case.

on the point of

"Children who are adopted by gay couples will be confused, traumatized, weird, or gay."

i would also like to point out that there are plenty of gay kids that are adopted by straight parents, and its not like they grow up traumatized, weird, or straight.

it really all depends on what you believe in. to people like Sarah Palin yes. i don't agree with her on really anything other than her stance on the death penalty.

there are not good arguments.

homosexuality is part of nature. if it was not then why were people trying to seperate "gay" penguines in nyc who adobted a rock as an egg.

if you break down the religious views you have to simply read more then the "christian bible". the parts taken from the "torah". that is used against gay and lesbians. if you know the origins of this passage. "a man shall not lay down with another man as he does with a women". this passage was the laws of the jewish people so they are able to repopulate the jewish culture.

i am not jewish so why must i live by old jewish laws that are no longer are valid.

okay, the bill of rights thingy ( i think) says that marriage is the joining of A MAN AND A WOMAN in holy matrimony… or something stupid like that. all that needs to be changed is the MAN AND WOMAN bit. someone once said that same sex couples should not be allowed to marry as they cannot produce children… um hello, so infertile couples shouldn’t be either! or older women after menopause… men shooting blanks…

so i guess no, there is no good reason, just a bunch of lame excuses

I am so sick of this question!!! Marriage between gay people should be approached very carefully or we could wind up in a situation like that of Nebraska's Safe Haven law. And then everyone would want to marry anything or anyone! I am gay, I would love to marry my partner, but I think the bigger issue at hand right now is the rights we should have for being a couple. Right now,, today, I'd much rather legally be recognized as his partner than recognized in a church as a couple. Hopefully that day will come soon! In the form of a wisely crafted law!

Those are some funny counter points especially the Aunt Jemima one that one gave me a laugh, but here is my thing, the biggest reason that the government is against gay marriage is 'cause it is a sin against god but isn't the US supposed to have a separation of church & state, so therefore there reason is unfounded & illegal as well so therefore there is no good reason @ all that gay marriage should be banned.
