If gays want to marry then let them. However the church shouldn't be made to marry same sex couples.

It wasn't considered discrimination until fairly recently....
(And no, that doesn't make it right, before some troll jumps on the lol wagon)
So you know it is pretty much irrelevant then why say it?
This is supposedly how the story goes, lots and lots of inbreeding.

Yes this is the problem with the Adam and Eve story (apart from the fact is also defies pretty much every scientific law we know about the existence of humans) is where did Cain's wife come from.
Apparently Christians get around this small problem by saying she was his sister but because they were so 'pure' they weren't affected by the biological and genetic problems that incestuous babies we'd see today if a sister and brother had kids.....
You couldn't make it up, only they did.
And some animals (Chimps for example) kill or maim other animals in the same clan/tribe/etc when they are considered socially deviant. That's natural too right?
Who said the garden of Eden was the only garden? Who says there wasn't anything outside the garden? The text is VERY simplistic, it's not like people were highly educated in general back then.

Nor was calling black people "sooties", what's your point?
They didn't need to be highly educated, it's Gods word remember? This thread is going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Are you honestly trying to argue that the Genesis creation myth is real?

The Bible is supposed to be the word of God is it not? God is simplistic he is? So why did God leave that bit out?
Secondly, if what you said is true, then the Bible by definition isn't complete and missing information thereby making it an unreliable source of information on anything.
So you know it is pretty much irrelevant then why say it?
I just felt like talking.. don't hate me ROFL
But seriously, people being gay has been becoming a socially acceptable thing for some years now (decades). It used to be acceptable in Roman times as well I believe. But the belief that is 'OK' to be gay is only now in our lifetimes generally being accepted as OK.... I think that's what I'm trying to say (If a bit incoherently).Missing information? I REALLLLLLLLLLLLY think you need to go and have a look at what the Bible is, and how it came to be. It isn't a Novel, it's something that has been put together over many many years (sometimes hundreds of years after an event), and re-translated, adapted, (abused in some cases I suspect) to fit the audience of the time.
Oh and don't be so facious.. I did not say God is simplistic. You have clearly demonstrated you don't really know about Christianity at all (and fair play if you have no interest)... but don't try to comment if you are unsure of things, do some research first

Yes murder is natural.
Are you confusing the concept of morality with nature?

Scougar you are the one who said that maybe not all the facts are in the Adam and Eve story not me. All I did was follow your logic.
what do you mean a thousand years ago. There are places in the USA where its still common, where do you think all those hicks, hillbillies and rednecks come from
It is quite amusing that people who are quite willing to have sex with people in their own family are somehow disgusted by gay marriage........
Religion is a man made concept, so it simply defies what one person / group of persons decide is deemed acceptable or not.
What does religion matter? Why should anyone take notice of what is most likely a glorified work of fiction?
Theres no proof in your statement
No, you subverted my logic.
