Posted on 05/10/13 at 11:50 pm in response to House's historic same-sex marriage vote greeted with eerie silence — and then roar from the masses

Voting for a bill that was opposed by a majority of the state might have been better made after midnight like the budget bill will be, so that no one notices,,,

That there might be a re-vote. Oops, that was the Senate. My bad

Retired, rich, and unable to find other work? Doesn't really sound like the legislature we have now. Which of the three is he?

What was the fiscal analysis of the bill? 10 minutes discussion for what I would assume will be millions of dollars of cost to the state and perhaps lost from the revenue stream seems rather cavalier.

Seems like they've done one or two things that would qualify as love and mercy, especially among the poor and refugees.

Some Christians have tried the strong prophetic admonishment (President Clinton, Hollywood, etc.) and gotten the smackdown that most readers here agree with.

Please name the offending religions and churches that have created their own God and force people to adhere to their made-up rules, I'd to find that I belong to one.

People like Mary Jo Copeland...

Creating a changing God and the dogma and dictates that go along with it sounds more like a belief formed in the last century rather than one passed down for thousands of years. And why would people who don't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God call themselves "Christians"?

Won't reduce the revenue the state receives as opposed to two single filers? The loss of "death" tax income?

Finances are no reason to oppose what many call a civil rights issue, but I'm not sure that the "unintended consequences" were really considered in ten minutes of discussion.

Sure we have computers, cars, space travel, etc., but has the understanding of and our relationship with God really changed that much (given the vast amount of time that the universe has been around, let alone God)? Maybe there are a new ten commandments besides the one asking us to love one another, (but that was given by Jesus, who process theology seems to discount as just another person) but they still seem applicable after all of our advancement.

What the unintended consequences are, but probably not for a couple of decades. The courts and our schools will start providing some answers and if we start down a slippery slope where we end up is anyone's guess. Just imagine, after THOUSANDS OF YEARS it took just one election.

What is right. Yes, I know that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have the same chance of getting into heaven as a camel passing through an eye of a needle, but I also know that anything is possible with God.
