Not at all. Faith is a wonderful thing. I wish I had it. I'm too scientifically oriented to believe. Religion is a way for an entity to control people and take their money. There are stories of corruption in all forms of religion. Sure they also do good things. I'm not saying all religious people are bad. I'm saying as a whole religions are oppressive and elitist.

Re: This is my forum now
see you're changing the nature of this conversation......I'm not discussing religion per se......I'm saying people who are religious consider marriage to be a religious union.....as long as you are going to let the people vote on this issue the word marriage and what it means to religious people will have an impact.....so call it a civil union and make it the exact same as marriage....

and I think if it's the matter of a word....use a different word......you can't take it from the people who created it......which is what I've been saying all along......if you try the people of faith will take it as an attack on faith and it'll never pass by a vote of the people......

Re: This is my forum now
I am not a man of high moral or ethical standards......but I am a man of faith.....and faith tells me if I am a bad man now I will pay later........that's the idea behind christianity.....do not kill, lie, steal, bang your neighbors wife, etc.....so yes I need religion to keep me from doing bad things to people......and to honest I think everyone does......that's why we are surrounded by a lot of scum bags without faith or respect for themselves or others......
