No they're not. That's the point.

For those who want to say that all drinking of alcohol is wrong, the miracle at the wedding must be tricky. After all, we cannot imagine Jesus giving anything else we would all agree is sinful to these people. If I may meld cultures, would Jesus go to a bachelor party and hand out Playboy?

In addition, if alcohol is indeed wrong, and Jesus (whom I am to imitate) gave it to others, should I then go around giving things I believe to be sin?

Ignoring other "doubts about Evolution" as they write, and even ignoring my own doubts about the basic premise, that this game is the basics of survival life, this understanding still falls flat on one point.

They expect me to believe that animals with brains significantly less developed than my own pulled together concepts of present and future, we're capable of weighing out the results of their actions, and chose to behave in ways they never behaved before (since we're talking about the origin of such actions). And all without a single shred of science (science being defined in the traditional way of something being confirmed through use of the scientific method).

Trust me, as a married man, I can tell you that the size of the wedding means only a tenth as much on this side of marriage. Everything looks fuzzy in your memories. Everything but your wife. If she's there, then that's all you need.

Believing false doctrine, even doctrines that affect one's relationships, is not necessarily mutually exclusive with Christianity.

Also, the singer wanted a non-speculative, non-slippery-slope argument? Well, first off you're limiting your evidence, that just shows that you've already decided. Secondly, gays already have full marriage rights in every state. The difference is that their preferences are different than what most states offer. That is all. This is an issue of preference, not rights. Law should be used to secure rights of citizens. Law has no business securing the preference of citizens. There is no legal basis for same-sex marriage.

Did you catch that?

The way they write it, gays in Northern Ireland do not have the right to marry.

But they do. A gay man in Northern Ireland has every right to marry a woman (like a straight man). He just can't marry a man (like a straight man).
