Knight: Gay marriages 'absolutely illegal'

Isn't this wonderful! Gays can finally marry! Maybe, there is a God!

You accidentally left off the /sarcasm identifier.

Don't hold your breath on that one.

My concern is over the window of opportunity in Massachusetts which will be opened up after the Massachusetts Supreme Court's order takes effect and before the legislature there can amend the state constitution. During that time there will be a flood of these "marriages" which then become forbidden. What will the legal status of these "marriages" be after the Amendment goes into effect? Just a curiosity.

I'm hoping that as John Kerry hits the home stretch of his campaign - the news is flooded with stories of gays going to Massachusetts to get married. It won't be necessary to sink his ship - but it will be icing on the cake.

I don't think San Francisco would recall a mayor for marrying gays. Surely this calls for State intervention. It's time for Arnold to take a stand on this issue.

[Verginius Rufus]

If someone had access to a stack of blank birth certificate forms, he could take one of them and type in his dog's name and date of birth. The resulting document would have no legal validity. Taking a marriage certificate and typing in the names of two men, or the names of two women, in a jurisdiction where there is no such thing as "gay marriage," creates a document with no more validity than that.

Oh the "gays" have not changed in thousands of years. Just read about their ways in Genesis 19:3-9:

"After the meal, as they were preparing to retire for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. They shouted to Lot, "Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out so we can have sex with them."

Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. "Please, my brothers," he begged, "don't do such a wicked thing. ......"Stand back!" they shouted. "Who do you think you are? We let you settle among us, and now you are trying to tell us what to do! We'll treat you far worse than those other men!" And they lunged at Lot and began breaking down the door.

Very similar to what is happening now. They will not be constrained by laws, or decency. They don't want us telling them what to do!

Michael Swift, one of their leaders told us that they would seduce our sons, in Boy Scouts, at the YMCA, Schools, Churches, everywhere, to turn them into homosexuals! He said that they would "conquer the world because warriors inspired by, and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible. The family unit, the spawning ground of all lies, betrayals, hypocrisy and violence will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens the imagination and curbs the free will must be eliminated."

We are at war, not just with Islamic terrorists but these homosexuals who pave the way for the militant terrorists by tearing apart the strength of our society. If you like your life here in the USA, you better fight these gay lobbiest, and stop them in every neighborhood! Our country will fall if we let it continue.

Why doesn't this guy run against Babble mouth Boxer?

"Pete Knight grew up in Noblesville, Ind.,

SS. Another " Hoosier" America can be proud of!

[BenLurkin]

It is a good thought. Knight is not a wealthy pwerson and he is (so far as I know) too honest to do much of what needs to be done to raise political money. He is also getting up there in years - I'd guess he's in his late sixities/early seventies.

[Glenn]

These people are going to be so pixxed that their weddings are nullified.

[Agnes Heep]

Like all homosexuality, it's just one big charade; a huge pretense.

[Verginius Rufus]

The verse you skipped over is interesting: Lot tries to placate the crowd by offering them his two virgin daughters. Not exactly Father of the Year material.

There's a similar story in Judges 19, when a crowd in the city of Gibeah in Benjamin demands that a Levite spending the night in their town (at the house of an Ephraimite, an outsider there just as Lot was in Sodom) be handed over to them to be sexually abused; the householder offers them his virgin daughter and the Levite's concubine. Eventually the crowd accepts the concubine instead and abuse her so severely that she dies from the ordeal.

[Fitzcarraldo]

We know what God thinks of this.

"In this country marriage is not a religious institution … making it a civil right," Jean said

What a moronic statement!
Is this person a lawyer? or pretending to be one?

Sure.
If it not a religious institution it is a civil right?
Hello?

[Fitzcarraldo]

The verse you skipped over is interesting: Lot tries to placate the crowd by offering them his two virgin daughters. Not exactly Father of the Year material.

Lot had become depraved in that evil city. There is no effort to hide this fact.

But because they saw fit to leave, they were spared (all except Lot's wife, of course).

We are at war, not just with Islamic terrorists but these homosexuals who pave the way for the militant terrorists by tearing apart the strength of our society.

Um, if you knew much about Islamic sexual behavior, you'd know that they believe sodomy is not sex (coherent with Islam's pagan origins). Mulim rapists sodomize a female victim, so as not to defile themselves by having sex with her. Such gang rapes by Muslim thugs are now common in Europe. It is not uncommon for a Muslim shopkeeper to keep a boy around to please himself.

Your concerns about Islam and sodomy are one and the same.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Eventually the crowd accepts the concubine instead and abuse her so severely that she dies from the ordeal.

Is the history of Israel one of absolute purity and righteousness? No. To the contrary, it's the struggle of Man's nature striving to overcome it's own perversions and injustice. Israel ended up being divided and conquered for its failure to honor the laws of God.

[onyx]

These people are getting very ruthless.

Ruthless. Exactly right.

OK #9, am not wanting to create a mountain out of a mole hill here but I cannot find derisorical in any dictionary or dictionary website.

If it is a good word would love to hear about it.

[Verginius Rufus]

In both stories (Lot in Sodom, the Ephraimite in Gibeah), the point of the offer is to illustrate the host's fidelity to the obligations of hospitality; the story of Sodom shows us that the people of Sodom are wicked, but also why Lot survives (remember the preceding chapter, where Abraham haggles with the Lord over how many just men he needs to find in Sodom to spare it...I take it that Lot is considered a just man).

Yesterday, here in Houston, there were some gay couples that went down and tried to file a marriage license. They had a dozen cameras on them as they were told they could not have one. Then they went out and protested in the streets. This is only the beginning of this madness and it needs to be nipped in the bud. Common sense tells you marriage is between a man and a woman. These people want to change this to fit their own selfish needs and agendas.
I think I'll go down and apply for a license to marry my car. If they don't give it to me, I'm gonna stomp my feet and whine that my rights are being violated.
