The same-sex marriage referendum debate

[T Fearon]

A marital union,not based on unconditional love involving a male and female,and not sanctioned by God in a religious service,is an act of blasphemy in my opinion.

[laoislad]

No one gives a f**k about your opinion.

Does it not have to be blessed by one holy roman ketlic service?

[imtommygunn]

A marital union,not based on unconditional love involving a male and female,and not sanctioned by God in a religious service,is an act of blasphemy in my opinion.

What if it is based on unconditional love but not sanctioned by god in a religious service?

What if it isn't unconditional love but it is sanctioned by god in a religious service?

So many permutations for you to make up rules for. Maybe draw out a wee matrix to make sure you cover all bases

I'm sure all transgressors will be smote by a bolt of lightning.

[T Fearon]

So are diverse opinions not worthy of respect? Yes I accept without reservation the Catholic Church's ruling on marriage.

[imtommygunn]

Diverse opinions are fine. Your last statement isn't very clear. It is hard to tell if it is the lack of unconditional love or the sanctioned by god bit causes you issues.

[T Fearon]

Both are essential to a real and genuine marriage as per the sacramental marriage of the Church

[imtommygunn]

So marriage outside a church is blasphemous gay or straight. Got you.

Gay marriage bad
Marriage not in church bad
Conditional love marriage bad

What does that make any marriage outside the catholic church? What are the boundaries on it.

A marital union,not based on unconditional love involving a male and female,and not sanctioned by God in a religious service,is an act of blasphemy in my opinion.

I got legally married in Belfast City Hall and there wasn't a word about God (bad or good) in the ceremony, therefore there is no chance it could fit the definition of blasphemy.

[T Fearon]

Legal according to the laws of the land,but not in the eyes of God,sadly.Before anyone starts,I didn't make God's laws.

[heganboy]

Let me get this straight. In your opinion not Catholic married is not married. As it has to be sacred?
Really loving others as your Lord and savior loved you there Tony. Merry Christmas...

[Jell 0 Biafra]

We weren't sure if our state marriage was really blasphemous enough.  So we walked down the aisle to this, just to make sure.

Heganboy,Jesus' love is not unconditional,it does not extend to tolerating sin
