I read an interesting viewpoint somewhere else. Why not make all govt recognized "marriages" civil unions. Grant everyone the same rights under the eyes of the law, and leave "marriage" for the religious bodies?

That would be the perfect solution but none of the cowards in our government would be ballsy enough to try and make it law.

So if there was a bill to allow churchs to be exposed to discrimination lawsuits if they dont marry homos, would you be for or against it? Or would u just not care and not vote.

Well, here's how I'd break it down. If you're accepting government funds and tax breaks, then you have to obey the secular law, same as all nonprofits who accept those benefits, and you can't discriminate. If you're a fully private organization and not milking those federal advantages, then by all means restrict marriages to whoever you want. I think that's fair, regardless of the content of the religious organization, and doesn't place undue burdens on either side.

Are donations typically taxed for orgs that arent churches?

That they are protected from laws that apply to all other non-profit organizations is silly TBH. The Lord doesn't discriminate, why should His churches?

:what: So you know the Lord now...he is for gay marriage now? Your telling me that Jesus got mad at people for selling things in the House of God making it a place of merchandise, but he will be ok with marrying gay people :comeon:

I don't think so, no, though obviously the person who is donating can still get tax breaks from it. So, that being the case, do you think it's a fair idea? I don't think it puts undue burdens on either side.

Give whats Caesars to Caesar but i think that legislation will shake up America because at that point all the government will be getting a piece of donations just so gays dont have to get married in churchs. Is that worth it to you?
