Marriage is a Christian concept. Christianity is against homosexuality.

That’s why gay people should not try to get the right to marry each other.

They should instead strive for a separation of church and state. Separate Marriage from legal partnership.

If gay people still insist on a christian marriage, then it is their responsibility to found a new church with a new approach to faith.

Edit: Since in today's world even the simplest words can be misunderstood, I would like to add the following:

I don't give a damn about homosexuals. They should take care of their own problems, just as I have to take care of mine without complaining to everyone else.

If that is already considered homophobia, then someone should at least tell me why.

Marriage comes with legal ramifications at this point that in some states civil unions do not provide. The talking points of marriage being a Christian invention are pretty revisionist at at best, but I am willing to believe you are simply uninformed.

Also, early translations of the Bible do not support it being against homosexuality, but rather feminine males who cut their beards. Still pretty bigoted and surrounded by prohibitions of mixed fabrics and shellfish though.

Also, please refrain from using burner accounts and botted upvotes in the future for your concern trolling.

Edit: autocorrect is awful

Thanks for your reply.

First off, while you are correct, marriage is not invented by Christians, the most prevalent concept of marriage comes from Judaism and has from there evolved into the Christian concept of marriage and from there into the Muslim concept of marriage.

Gay people should not expect that they can make use of an old concept of marriage. They need to invent a new one. And therefor they need a new branch of religion that does not leave any point of attack (and Christianity, Judaism and Islam has tons of scriptures that are actively against homosexuals).

Furthermore this is no real burner account. I mean I am an edgy asshole, and I am full aware that people might ban me for this. But I am for sure not using bots to upvote. I am surprised myself about the upvotes. I was expecting g a ton of downvotes. This instance has clearly a problem with bots, but I am not the cause.

And yes. Autocorrect is awful.

Edit: you are right. Someone is Auto upvoting my comments. But I have nothing to do with it.

Edit2: never mind. My other comments are not getting upvoted.
