I've said before that I'm a Christian fella and I don't really have an issue with Gay Marriage... in my opinion.

My sister in law is gay and she wants to marry her partner... that's cool by me. Having seen where she has come from, trying to commit suicide on more than one occassion, running away etc etc she then came out and she is a relatively normal person now... she is still a massive space cadet but she is happy...

I just am really disappointed in the vitriol from both sides of the equation, there is so much hatred and it is just really uncool... suggesting that if someones view differs from your own then they should kill themselves is irresponsible and down right stupid...

Suicide is not something to joke about... it has hit my family hard before and I really think that joking (or not) is just really poor form

Man that sounds a bit too hippy doesnt it...

people still get married these days ?

but on this , i remember a media report of a couple who had been married for so long, they came out after all this was announced and said if gay marriage is allowed, they would divorce . Thinking that because they will divorce it would stop it :lol: If someone or a married couple divorce over something like this then they were not truly in love anyway.

If someone cheats or abuses the other then fair enough divorce....

Good idea, 100% of all divorce is from being married in the first place. :D

Mate, if only folks from both sides of the fence were more like you.

I think the key to understanding is a sense of perspective, and you seem to have that down pat.

The majority of my schooling was Christian, but I decided it wasn't for me. However, I won't knock anyone for having faith, as long as they're respectful about my beliefs (or lack thereof). I'll afford them the same courtesy in return.

For the most part, religion doesn't hurt anyone; it's just the extremists that **** it up for everyone else, and give them a bad name.

Marriage is fine, it's just unfortunate that like having children people can't be tested for suitability to the role before hand.

My thoughts too.

I went to church regularly basically up until university, and even went to a few of these Adelaide uni Christian fellowship thingys because one of my friends went there. And then I saw an Engineering student say that there has to be a god because if there wasnt it would violate the second law of thermodynamics. Now that was just about the biggest load of crap I had ever heard, and the way that otherwise rational people were tying themselves in knots trying to justify their beliefs confirmed in my head that none of that was real.

The other thing that really annoys me about Christianity (and other religions too) is that a TON of the teachings of Jesus were about tolerance, acceptance, helping out those in need, etc etc. Which is clearly a great thing. But then it comes to issues such as gay marriage and these same ideals are conveniently forgotten and this same section of the community becomes the most intolerant and bigoted group of people you could ever meet.

That incongruence is what leaves me bitter about the whole thing.

Tricksy Jehovah's Witnesses.

Two weeks ago the J-Hos came around. I was caught by surprise so I heard them out and took their brochure. They asked if I was ever home on a Wednesday so they could come back and talk to me. I said 'Not really - occasionally, I guess.' So today I get a knock on the door. I realise it's Wednesday and think nope, I'm not answering the door. Then I hear a small child's voice and immediately assume it's my best mate, because she sometimes drops around with her little boy. I go to the door and it's the J-Hos holding a baby. ](*,) That's ten minutes of my life I won't get back.

I had that once. One time my wife had an excuse as to why she couldnt talk to them, but then they came around the next two saturdays at the exact same time.

The thing i say to all of them is - I respect your right to believe in anything you want, but i also believe there are other avenues for people to find out this information, so im not going to need you knocking on my door

This is why I don't answer my front door or intercom without a prior phone call.

I don't like when people come over unannounced.

Me, I'm just flat out rude to them and couldn't care less.

I've even challenged one to come into my yard one Saturday while gardening. He came in, I said "Take one more step, I dare you, I DOUBLE DARE YOU!".

I left the mother **** bit off the end.... :lol:

That's the best approach. Being polite only encourages them. Mr McSpaz was polite to them once and they ended up writing him a two-page letter offering to send someone around to study the Bible with him. They offered to send a man if that would make him feel more comfortable. They intimated that he might go to hell if he didn't comply. After that incident we decided we would always tell them to f*** off. And we did, and it worked, but now they're on to it. They bring CHILDREN with them. Wearing suits, poor things. I can't swear at children. I'm just not going to answer the door on Wednesdays any more. I have every respect for one's religion, but I don't appreciate having it shoved down my throat. I don't go around to people's houses telling them 'I'm an atheist and atheism is the only real belief. If you don't agree then you'll vanish into the void. Here, let me explain to you what atheism is. You don't know what it is because only I know what it is.'

Fantastic! :) I might ring up AGL and suggest they do the same, although seeing as it took them four phone calls and six months to disconnect the electricity from my old house (meanwhile connecting two different accounts in my name for the same house), it might take a while for them to understand the request.
