Having a liberal attitude is founded on freedom of speech, thought and expression. The willingness to accept other people's right to live their life as they wish as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. I cannot see how allowing a gay couple to marry infringes upon anyone else's rights. <br /><br />We will just have to agree to disagree - as Liberals often do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029903387138434562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17511795.post-84656928068167406152012-12-11T21:44:46.555+00:002012-12-11T21:44:46.555+00:00Well, I am religious and a lay minister but the ma...Well, I am religious and a lay minister but the marriage question is not the reason why! And being a Liberal is most surely not to be equated with flexibility!

I believe in a little more flexibility in politics and in life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029903387138434562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17511795.post-17096611334833391442012-12-11T12:06:46.633+00:002012-12-11T12:06:46.633+00:00Of course there are homosexual Christians but that...Of course there are homosexual Christians but that does not mean that the Christian Church has to deviate from its teaching. As it is based on the Bible generally speaking which states quite unequivocally that marriage is between a man and a woman for the procreation of children within a stable relationship. Nevertheless the Church accepts that there are homosexual relationships.DutchEneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446676956225003971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17511795.post-45075974375369164202012-12-10T20:34:35.149+00:002012-12-10T20:34:35.149+00:00And are there no homosexual Christians?

Aren't they to be allowed to marry under the umbrella of their own religion?<br /><br />Churches will not be forced to carry out same sex marriages but will be able to should they choose. <br /><br />David Davies's comments are just blatant homophobia.

No. If you want marriage as such go to a registry office and leave the churches alone, they've got enough problems already.<br />DutchEneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446676956225003971noreply@blogger.com
