If I may be so bold as to retract my previous withdrawal from this thread, the Bible tells us that all people will go to Hell whether they agree with gay marriage or not.

Are you sure that's what you meant to say?
All people?
Bit harsh innit?

I'm sure there's stuff in the Bible about pride etc – which presumably doesn't apply to: 'I'm right about god and everybody else is wrong and they'll all go to hell, nah nah nah nah nah'.

A question for you, how will two blokes being allowed to marry affect you?

It doesn't affect me directly, but it equates my marriage with a sinful union.

You upset me since, as a human being, I'm associated with you.

Shall we start a petition against people who try to interfere in other people's lives on the basis of beliefs they cannot prove because no evidence exists for them?

Why do your worship a god who, according to your own 'holy' book, says that the rape and killing of children is acceptable?

Show me where the Bible says it is acceptable for me to rape and kill children.

No, in fact, it's perfectly just. We all break God's commandments and fall short of his mark. Hell is a just punishment for us all.

I wouldn't say that I'm a proud person, but even if I were, my sins are forgiven as I have placed my faith in Jesus' atonement.

Perhaps, try it and see how many signatures you get.

There is no joy in Hell. I'd think twice before making flippant remarks like that.
