(14,040 posts)but that doesn't mean that it's okay to state "marriage" is only okay for christians whilst everyone who isn't christian only gets a civil union. Or is it only gays that get the civil union? Pagan's or atheists can still refer to themselves as married as long as they are a man & woman, right? Do you really want to use religion as a basis for your argument? Because I can argue that my interpretation of the bible doesn't condemn committed homosexual relationships. It condemns using same-sex rape as a tool against your enemies, it condemns using same-sex sex as idolatry but not once does the bible talk about committed homosexual relationships as being wrong. Hell, I can interpret several stories in the bible as pro-gay love stories. I can point out a story about a roman soldier bringing his male lover to Jesus to be healed and Jesus heals him. You'd think that he wouldn't do that if being in a gay relationship was worthy of condemnation or death.
