The pope we have now isn't a real pope.

For someone claiming to have faith in Christ for choosing the pope, you are a man of poor faith if you start to challenge this idea as soon as you don't like the new pope. The procedure was the same, there's no reason to think he's not choosen by god. This only shows you hand-pick things depending on your opinions. The bible only offers you arguments agaisnt gay marriage, it is not the reason why you're against it. You just think it's jucky.

Of course you do. I don't agree with the government just because it's the government, and I seriously doubt that partydevil does either, so the analogy doesn't follow.
okay, I was trying to prove a point. I hate the government and would not like anything more than to end it. But the church, is something I want to be ruled by. I agree with the church, so why wouldn't I want to be part of it. If I didn't want to be ruled by it, i'd leave, just like If any country were more free than the USA (not free at all) then I'd leave here too. The church doesn't make laws that children need a freakin license to have a lemonade stand! And I'm in Massachusetts, the worst of all. I love Boston, but it's laws suck.

God doesn't choose the popes.
i have no problem whit breaking the law from time to time. as long it doesn't harm anyone
You just showed me that you're a bad person. Why on earth would I listen to you.

You're no better than the guys at Nuremburg: only following orders, not thinking for yourself. That defense doesn't work.
The American soldiers, God bless them, are told to do alot of things, whether they like it or not.

You said the pope is put in charge of us by Christ, and that the pope is spoken through by god. Your words. Now whether the pope is directly chosen by god or only approved by him, doesn't change that you can't just pick out yourself which pope you follow and which not. Thus why I find it funyn that you don't consider the actual pope as legitimate.

You just showed me that you're a bad person. Why on earth would I listen to you.

The law is not holy. Law is human, as such it is also fallible. There are certain circumstances when not following the law is not bad at all. Not always of course, but noone ever said it was always a good thing to break the law.

So if the church said something you disagreed with, you'd risk eternal flames? Why not smile and nod?

You just showed me that you're a bad person.

Ever crossed the street in the middle, instead of at a corner or crosswalk? If so, jaywalker! That's illegal! You're so bad!

He gives the pope the power, but He doesn't choose the pope.

Umm... I'm not

If a real pope says something when discussing a matter of faith or morals, I have to listen to him. If I don't like it, I leave. But the real church hasn't said anything I don't agree with yet.

No, I live in the suburbs, and I get driven to school and other places by my nanny(he's a tutor and chauffeur). I never cross the street really lol.

This is the only good point you've made. But still, being a troublemaker won't get you anywhere with the law.

That was adressed in the part you apparently ignored. But sure, go on evading my point.

But let's get back to business. So you're a fervent follower of laws? Many countries nowadays legally allow marriage for every kind of couple. So even using your logic, there's nothing wrong with that. Right?

Why would He give power to one He disapproves of?

real pope
real church

How do you determine which ones are 'real' and which ones are false, but still powered by God?

I never cross the street really lol.

You said you live in Mass, right? "It is illegal to go to bed without first having a full bath." Ever broke that?

Back to arguing like a 5 year old I see.

It really doesn't matter if you personally find it gross or not. You're not being forced to do it. There are people who don' find it gross and enjoy such acts. They aren't harming others and should be granted the ability to be with the one they love with the full legal benefits that go along with that. As such gross or not to you, it should be supported as a means of equal treatment.

For a bit of perspective let's put what you said on the other foot for a moment.

"ew gay marriage is gross i dont know about you guys but straight marriage is disgusting,guy kissing a girl man who would support this?....."

Does that at all sound like a good reason to not support heterosexual marriage to you?

We have to give him credit for being honest, at least. Not like others who are waving dusty old story books to give apparent significance to their "arguments".
