A benefit to heterosexual society of gay marriage is the fact that the commitment of a marriage means the participants are discouraged from promiscous sex. This has the advantage of slowing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, which know no sexual orientation, and are "equal opportunity destroyers".

These benefits of gay marriage have changed the attitudes of the majority of people in Denmark and other countries where various forms of gay marriage have been legal for years. Polling results now show that most people there, now recognize that the benefits far outweigh the trivial costs, and that far from threatening heterosexual marriage, gay marriage has actually strenghtened it.

So, having established the value of gay marriage, why are people so opposed to it?

Many of the reasons offered for opposing gay marriage are based on the assumption that gays have a choice in who they can feel attracted to, and the reality is quite different. Many people actually believe that gays could simply choose to be heterosexual if they wished. But the reality is that very few do have a choice -- any more than very few heterosexuals could choose which sex to find themselves attracted to.

I have looked at many religions to find any truths there may be to be found. While I have found no real truth, I have noticed what I would call a completely unscientific observation. It seems to me that there is some kind of universal law that all energy in the universe seeks to find a balance. I am not suggesting there is any supernatural forces at work or that there is any form of intelligence behind it.

I'll be happy bury those people right along with their golden girls porn in that forty-three-foot hole.

I just don't understand the reasoning and when I sent my reply earlier today I have not received a response, this bothers me given how long I have been on this forum.

Thank you.

Jeremy.

That would be a matter of world security.

we should all get along, regardless of what we believe for sure

I disagree. Whenever you take a doctrine and inbed it into a person with the implication that if they question it they will be forever damned the doctrines power supersedes their personal power.

I agree. And it seems that people have difficulty understanding how another person might feel in any given situation. So instead of giving them the consideration of the possible misunderstanding of their feelings they judge and discard them.

Individuality is authenticity.

be authentic, then you will find individuality in EVERY aspect of your life.

Religion is a tiny droplet in the ocean of WHO you are.

If all religious people agreed with you the world would be a better place . .. I know that much.

isn't referring to a particular post. you are right...doubt is normal. and nothing wrong with questions to learn more.

all faith is the same.. for your faith to not be religiously based, you would have to describe it without the inclusion of any other supreme or supernatural entity

anytime science merge with religion it presents a view outside of the belief, ususally those that choose this path becomes New Age or Scientologists, the establish religions can not afford to merge with science because it would go against the teaching of the belief and it's kind of hypocritical

also when someone say that their brain is to limited to comprehend God or another supreme entity only means they don't want to understand, and faith demands that you don't understand

Dreams displays how the person has the power to alter reality but there is no logical reason for dreams to release the power of the subconscious to the conscious, Dreams usually shuts down the body to make sure it doesn't hurt itself in conscious reality

and that is when Ego and pride may play a key factor, you have to go into the Dreams knowing that you can control the power outside the dream

think of it in reverse ...if you had the power what could you do consciously to get rid of it

the subconscious contains all the power the conscious mind need to control reality or to find truth that may be hidden within reality, reality will not cause itself to be destroyed or control so it induce the subconscious to secrete chemicals that block the conscious access to this power

emotions may be one reason the conscious is not granted power, emotions cause people to act irrationaly and with the power of the subsonscious a person can do total devestation upon something

get rid of the emotions which will lessen the chemicals that may block the power of the subconscious and your subconscious may grant your conscious some of that power

my ego and pride place me as absolute truth, it's impossible to prove to myself that I don't exist and it's impossible for me to doubt that I do exist therefore nothing can exist above me

and that's why anyone that thinks themselves as not being absolute truth or that something exist above their existence has a lack of ego and/or pride ..

either way the conscious and the subconscious at this point in time are both puppets of reality ...that is the purpose of reality to control and confuse therefore the two has to work together to break this control
