    You should follow it according to thr context in which it was originally intended.

    So what was the context of owning and beating slaves is ok and women shouldn’t teach and how is this different to the original context where homosexuality is wrong

    In general, YES.

    But on this particular issue, even more so.

    I swear I have never seen so many people obsessed with this issue who claim to be straight hetros.

    We should probably ignore the words of an invisible sky creature that rapes and impregnates children, sends his son to be murdered so he can erase laws that he created and loves you unconditionally but only under certain conditions.

    That person sounds like a loon.

    If all you have to base your beliefs on is a two thousand year old compilation of fairy tales that has been edited and rewritten numerous times by various kings and scholars, many of who cannot even agree on individual words used to condemn others — you should probably rethink your lifestyle.

    You are the dude that is on the slippery slope - and it is by your arguments that much of the above is justified - not "gay marriage".

    You have no respect for the founding principles - or the principles of republicanism.

    With respect, it only applies to people who believe that particular religious book.

    Unless you're saying everything in the Bhagavad Gita, Q'uran, and Torah applies to you?

    First, what is a 'hetros'? Sounds Greek.
    Second, what is a 'straight hetros'?
    Third, there is no need for a special name for the vast majority.

    never said the above.

    what I said is until everybody is treated the same there will be no equality possible

    Being forced to serve in the military is just one example of how women and men could be considered equal

    until then , woman and men will always have opposite powers

    another example. A woman can decide if she wants to be a parent if she makes a mistake and has unprotected sex

    a man makes the exact same mistake, he has NO power deciding if he will be a parent

    It is only one of the criteria. How has your life been negatively impacted by gay marriage? If you’re married, did it change your marriage? Did it force you to get a divorce? Did your kids spontaneously become gay?

    The military is primarily middle class, not "poor kids from the hood." It's nothing like Hunger Games.

    I'd prefer we just require military service in order to vote. That way, even if the rich kid never serves, he has less say on how things are run. It would be your "poor kids from the hood."

    Hmm, I thought you were a liberal instead of an anarchist.

    My bad.

    No i am saying is that if the bible is right truth is not relative and therefore everything in it applies to everyone according to it's proper context.
    If the bible is wrong then of course none of it applies to anyone.

    I didn't argue my life has been negatively impacted by gay marriage, but if you are using this argument:

    Then I think it's fair to ask if your "impacted YOUR life" social policy test applies only to gay marriage or to other policy issues?

    Go read for yourself it's there in black and white and very easy to understand if you ask yourself, who, what, when and why as you read.

    Actually what you said was:

    I don't know why people try to pretend they never argued something that they actually posted and can easily be checked.

    "Being forced to serve in the military" is called the draft.

    “one way men and women could be treated equally is both genders are forced to serve in the military”

    There has always been polygamy in Utah since the Mormons settled there. Sanctioned or not it is and has been there.

    I did, it’s chock full of contradictions, poor logic, arbitrary values and decisions and out right impossibilities.

    it comes down to your book is right and the others are wrong with no basis in fact or reason apart from it is.
