    Freedom of religion?

    If a country really belivied in freedom of religion, why would it be making constitional amendments based on one religions belief?

    As long as we are doctoring the constitution to represent the views of a religion, I think there are some American Hindus that would like to see McDonalds be constitutionally amended out of business for religious reasons....

    That argument is old and defeated. What ever happened to the voice of the people? The majority of the US population does not approve of gay marriages and therefore the amendment should be made. Believe it or not, most people are not ultra-left-wing liberals like most adult webmasters.

      Can we also make sure the amendment says homosexuals only count as 3/5 of a person too? That would be super

          gobigtime, one thing I've learned about this country is it's not really that people want "freedom of religion," they only want freedom of THEIR religion.

          I've proposed this to many Christians in small West Texas towns in regards to prayers at football games.

          Go ahead and let them pray, but each week a different religion or denomination is chosen. We'll see what they say when the Wiccan kid gets up there to pray, or when the Muslim kid gets his chance.

              Then why isn't Gore president? He got 500,000 more votes. Majority doesn't alway rule, there are exceptions, deal with it.

                  You are missing the whole fucking point.

                  The purpose of the constitution is to *protect* the minority from the majoriety.

                  I am sure those like you, who want to impose your will and morals, find the constitution bloody inconvenient at times.

                    That point is missed by many "True" Duhmericans.

                      Sure about that? Thought it was the golden rule that counted. The man with the money makes the rules.

                      The majority didn't vote for Bush and he is in the White House taking away our civil liberities.

                      So the will of a few million religious right is going to decide for us all. After all that's Bush's base. Amending the constitution to define marriage will never happen, it's just a political move to help win an election.

                          More often than not. The majority of Americans do not want gay marriages to be recognized. That's the way it is.

                              I have noticed since this uproar about samesex marriages in the
                              Celeb sector there running to get marriaged?
                              I saw fat pig talk show host Rosie getting hitched and others are on the way, but her TV show fell in the toilet because of her being lesbian, so she got the axe,and going know where fast.
                              alot of actors/actresses are cut short in the business but I see the gaymen in the industry do get ahead alittle more not to sure fully why? I can see why there's so many closet people fearing
                              the worse there not excepted and some have up swing jobs that
                              they can't afford to loose. hiding what you really are is know way to live. I'll never agree to this samesex marriage thing, as it doesn't contribute anything in the way of family values and never will.. this is a mockery to what marriage is all about? it's not a game/party/ people just attend, then discard it and get out when they want too! sorry I don't agree to these weird twisted people.
                              and when you drag the churches into it well your trying to change a system that worked pretty well up until now.

                              like I said before the world brought in Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve. samesex marriage's shouldn't be dragged into the churches is my strongest point they have no business being there. go get a cityhall/permit/ wedding don't use the religion as a tool.
                              also having women priests is a no-no too.. good day..

                                Sad that you don't quite understand how the constitution works, and I'm not limiting this to just gay marriages.

                                      basically the USA'RS is just a tidbit on the global scale..
                                      most americans need open there minds alittle more and have alook on the other side of the world to see what there doing..

                                      I hope there's a "stop"some where as I don't want to see our Canada fuck up like this too. poisoning filthy shit is what it is..

                                      most gays/lesbians I think in some point in there life growing up were rejected some where along the line and were misguided and then fell into this trap there in? my opinion..

                                      now they have a hard time adjusting or being excepted in life.

                                        Statistics show on a global scale:

                                        gaymen around the world, white and asians

                                        lesbians mostly are white and live in the USA some are black..

                                        you really don't see alot of hindu or other nationalities swing this way..

                                        in Canada most of the Gay/lesbian's end up coming from different
                                        area's of canada plunk there crap here in Vancouver.. as it's more openly excepted on the street and in clubs not in the work place.

                                        plus are weather is warmer compared to snow banks in the other parts of the USA..

                                          Doesn't matter. If the majority of the population wants to kill Jews, should they be allowed to? It's about protecting the minority.

                                          If it was up to me, homosexual men wouldn't be allowed, only hot sexy lesbians would be But guess what? It's none of my damn business. They wanna be gay, marry or whatever it's their choice, not mine.

                                                The only real reason that everyone says that most people don't agree w/ gay marriage is that our cocksmoker prez said so on TV. Most of the polls I've seen are about 55/45 against it...pretty close.

                                                  But who decides what the majority can or can't do? Minorities? Only people who have the same opinions and points of views as YOU?

                                                    By the way, on a somewhat related note; in Europe many countries are taking in vast numbers of immigrants even though polls that are taken on the issue consistently says that the majority doesn't want it. In some of the countries merely polling the issue of immigration is "racist" and thus illegal.

                                                    Democracy?
