My cousin's wife is infertile, does that mean their marriage is annulled?

In Santorumland, the economy collapses as nobody buys gifts for Golden and Diamond anniversaries; all marriages are terminated once the woman reaches menopause. They are sent off to live in colonies in the wilderness while their husbands consume dangerous cocktails of testosterone and Cialis to entice young, fertile mates.

The Presbyterian Church just passed the AI, 371 to 328. Presbyterian pastors can no longer be punished for performing gay marriages in states with legal marriage equality. They join the UCC, MCC, Episcopal, and Quaker denominations in officially supporting gay marriage.

The US government is saying a big ol gently caress you to Uganda

quote:

As President Obama has stated, the Government of Uganda’s enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA) runs counter to universal human rights and complicates our bilateral relationship. We announced in April a series of initial responses, and we have since considered how further to reinforce our support for human rights of all Ugandans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Today, we are announcing several additional steps. Specifically, the Department of State is taking measures to prevent entry into the United States by certain Ugandan officials involved in serious human rights abuses, including against LGBT individuals. In addition, the United States will take steps, consistent with current authorities, to prevent entry into the United States by Ugandans who are found responsible for significant public corruption. We are also discontinuing or redirecting funds for certain additional programs involving the Ugandan Police Force, Ministry of Health, and National Public Health Institute, and cancelling plans to hold a U.S. military-sponsored aviation exercise in Uganda.

None of these steps diminishes our commitment to providing development and humanitarian support for the Ugandan people, or our partnership with the Ugandan government to counter the murderous Lord’s Resistance Army and improve security in Africa. We will seek to advance these interests even as we continue—in Uganda and around the world—to oppose discriminatory practices and champion human rights for all.

I was really surprised by how many Hispanic people there were in attendance, and how some of the speeches (maybe all? I didn't watch the whole thing) were in Spanish or translated into Spanish. Are conservatives trying to change course on the anti-immigrant rhetoric? It's a bit late for that!

Conservative churches are very good at busing people to these things. If you only ever saw the public testimony for bills you would think 95% of Latinos were against same sex marriage.

It's the same logic behind the similarly stupid "abortion = black genocide" argument. Gay black men get HIV at an elevated rate therefor the gay rights movement is black genocide. Before the "homosexual agenda" came along gay men just didn't have sex, certainly not unprotected sex that might expose them to STDs :downs:.

A: AIDS affects African Americans more than any other ethnic group.
Therefore, AIDS is anti-African American and the African American AIDS dead are a genocide.

B: Homosexuals cause AIDS.
Therefore, homosexuality is anti-African American and genocidal.

There's that one ultra-religious lady who also calls condoms and PReP instruments of ethnic cleansing, because young poor men of color have higher rates of male prostitution. You know, because condoms and medicine are what drive people into the sex trade, not poverty or desperation! :downs:

Gays are obviously genocidal, even worse than Hitler. By not being a straight couple and having kids, they are denying a child the chance to be conceived, thus killing potential children on a grand scale.

Ergo, gays are also child murderers.

By not having children, you're ending a line of ancestors going back six thousand years to Adam and Eve, all the way through to Noah, and to your parents who had sex once and prayed for forgiveness. You're killing your children, and your children's children, and countless generations down the line until The Lord blows the trumpet and summons the rapture. You're killing more people than Hitler did when he so aggressively pursued the homosexual agenda.

But... I thought that Christianity placed an ideal upon chastity, and that the ideal human would have no sexual desires of their own. Or is that just a misreading?

I think even though Jesus saves you of original sin, you still need baptism to get into Heaven. So you're just in purgatory.

But it's okay because it's not like you knew anything so you'd just be a dumb baby.

The answer to this will depend on who you ask, but I believe Calvinists would say they go to hell. Original sin + no praying for forgiveness = cya. Although a question I wondered is, in what capacity would an aborted fetus perceive the afterlife? It may not even have a brain, let alone a collection of experiences with which to create a sense of self.
