If we're going to take what is in Leviticus or what other Old Testament books about living life as the sole indicator to what Christians believe... you're doing it wrong.

Why'd they put Leviticus in there if they ignore it all?

As far as I see it, the only valid argument that a person could have against same-sex marriage is that under definition 'marriage' is between a man and a woman, so same-sex marriage is impossible. However, the law is created in the first place to reflect society's values and opinions, which are obviously changing on this subject, so in the end there really is no valid argument against it. And as for people 'getting bullied for have 2 dads or 2 mums', I guess it depends on where you live, but nothing like that would ever happen where I live in Sydney. I have a few friends who's parents have re-married the same sex or they've been adopted, and we love them and their parents just the same. A persons sexuality shouldn't even enter the equation as far as I'm concerned.

Homosexuality has been discovered in over 4000 species. Homophobia is only evident in one. Which seems unnatural now?

If they use their spit as lube it's natural.

Go and ask a priest.

Something to do with Jesus making the old law obsolete and creating the Great Commission I think it's called.

*Incorrect buzzer noise*
Paul of Tarsus said that the teachings of the Torah were covered by Christ and all that shit.
But he's the same guy that was for women in the Church and then wrote "let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the Church" in Corinthians.

i still don't get this debate. do i support gays/lesbians getting full recognition, tax benefits and the other legal benefits of being married? yes.

however, i don't support it being called a 'marriage'. the simple fact is that marriage has been the term that has denoted a bond between a man and a woman for thousands of years. as much as i think religious people are bat shit insane, the word marriage has large religious connotations and a lot of tradition to it. if you gave gays/lesbians all of the rights i mentioned above, yet just called it a 'civil union' or whatever, what's the difference? i don't go around and whinge that i can't be classified as a negro, it's because i'm not, i don't fit the definition.
