A Whole Boatload of Common Sense

by Juryu

You know, some discussions are not even worth having. People who think they're right think just that, and people who believe them to be wrong can't expect to say "you're wrong" and have the other person answer "oh, okay, my mind has changed now."

People who lead their lives based on the Bible says will never be convinced the Bible is wrong, even given some examples as women and black people. So don't bother saying this. People who do not have a religion will not be suddenly convinced that they should be guided by the Bible. So it is equally pointless to tell them something is right/wrong because the Bible says so.

Young people will always think their ways are correct, because the world is constantly changing and the younger you are, the easier you find it to adapt to the new ways of the world. Old people will always think their ways are correct, because they have lived longer and been through more and know better. No use discussing this one either.

I'm actually not replying to either Jason or Brad, but I might just say I agree with Brad because it is about to get pretty obvious.

I have something to add. Marriage is about love.

Love. Not sex. Well maybe sometimes is IS about sex in the beginning, but with the passing of the years, what defines if a marriage is successful or not is the love, and not the sex.

Now I am assuming that when people say that such behavior is abhorent, I really want to assume that what is abhorent to them is to picture two people of the same gender having sex, and NOT to picture two souls feeling love for each other.

In my humble opinion, for someone to consider gay marriages just plain wrong, this is a person that has nothing but sex going on in his/her mind. I dare call them hypocrits. They label the gay people perverts, yet they are the perverts themselves, for having nothing but sex on their minds. I am not gay, and when I think of my boyfriend, I think of the love I feel and not that I want to have sex. So just maybe, a gay person will feel the same way for their significant other as I feel for mine?

Maybe they feel they found a person they connect to. A person who they can talk to. A person who has similar interests. A person with whom they can spend 24 hours a day together without getting bored. A person who they want to spend 24 hours a day with, because just the thought of doing something alone, would be like doing it having left half your brain at home. I guess I am describing here what is called a soulmate, and I am happy for every one of you, Catholic or otherwise, gay or straight, who has found one.

This is what I wanted to say, to those finding gay marriages disgusting, stop thinking about sex. You perverts! For a while there consider sex is not such a big thing as you think it is. Consider that some people have other priorities over it.

Oh well I think I'm done.
