Do you agree with Same-sex marriage?

Because shadow, gays are an abomination

God dammit, next you'll be telling them about our gay agenda!

Please don't try and claim this as universal truth. Sure, some of the more religious and older generation are opposed to same-sex marriage.

However, the vast majority of young, non Hasidic, Jews living in the UK today are pro gay-rights and same-sex marriage. I say this as someone who goes to a Jewish school with around 1000 people in, and those who express anti gay-marriage views are very much in the minority.

We have had gay pride days and there are LGBT posters on the walls in my Jewish faith school.

Don't use the outdated views of some Jews to justify your bigotry

Good thing religion doesn't control secular policy, then.

Saying you won't support something doesn't mean you hate the people involved. Everybody is allowed to have and voice their own opinion. Just because we won't support it it doesn't mean it will be banned from every country everywhere.
Lots of people, religious or not, think that sex outside of marriage is wrong. Does that mean it is banned? No. If we have a belief, and that belief is in the majority, then surely whatever it is it should be put forward in court.
Euthanasia, Abortion, IVF, Same-sex marriage, Assisted Suicide - the list is endless. Some are legal, some are illegal. Different people have different opinions, and, whatever the issue, religion will have a part to play in a person's ethics, and this is how, through voting, new laws should be passed. I'm not saying make homosexual marriage, illegal, but you can't say we are homophobic haters just because we choose to follow the Bible.

Because we care about wider society and especially the fate of the future generation.

Homosexuals are more likely to be paedophiles and more likely to abuse their children.

If you espouse homophobic beliefs, you're a homophobe regardless of whether you are doing so because the Bible tells you to or because the Bible of Scientology tells you to (yes I made that up).

I don't think being in favour of only a "man-woman" relationship would necessarily entail one as holding "homophobic" beliefs.

23% of TSR should be ashamed of themselves.

I think that, for most Christians, it is explicitly said in the Bible, in Leviticus 18:22:

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination"

Therefore I think Christians feel that they cannot go against it, so have to follow it. It is not necessarily originally their own personal view, but they believe in a God who knows everything - what right have we to argue against Him? He has shown us many times how wrong we have been in the past.

The Bible also teaches us to not rape, or cheat, or abuse others, or have sex, or at least unprotected sex, before marriage.

Also, just by saying we do not support homosexual marriage, it does not mean we hate gay people in any way. We can have our opinion , and you can have yours.

Just so we are clear when were you made the judge of all things right or wrong?

Because clearly people follow every single thing stated in the bible?

You should give me that, as it's a fact, but I'll pass over your blatant disregard for that.

The only reason homosexuality was ever seen as immoral/was outlawed is because people used to/do base their morals on their holy book. As society has moved away from religion being the only moral code, and more towards atheism/agnosticism/moderate interpretations of religion, we don't have this bigoted view that homosexuality is something immoral or to be criminalised. Our moral systems now - in Europe generally speaking - are based less off the rules and codes set out in moral books and more on what we feel and view as morally correct, such as allowing all people the freedom, and their basic right, to marry the person they wish to, regardless of their gender.

Oh yes because homosexual = paedophile
Wait I forgot about all those instances of heterosexual paedophilia...

Just so we are clear when were you made the judge of all things right or wrong?
