To a christian it's a commitment to God, to love your partner like Jesus loves the church, which was to give his life for his people (everyone no matter what).<br />Jesus said the greatest commandment, is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and the second greatest is to love your neighbour like you love yourself.<br />I understand that this is a big issue for a lot of Australians, but I would rather have my government focus on refugees and helping them, finding ways to end starvation in third world countries. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358617304687549741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325581308245283536.post-52419085000970080802012-09-01T12:58:46.246+10:002012-09-01T12:58:46.246+10:00I absolutely agree! 100%

If my latest marriage fails I may try men.<br /><br />The silliest thing is I really think most people's objection is to the term marriage. Perhaps we could just change the term. Maybe Gayarriage. "WIll you Gayarry Me?" Works for me.<br /><br />I agree with most of what you say, and it is well said. I think it will be no more than 5 years (in the US) not twenty before gender is not a restriction to the rights of two people to love each other.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325581308245283536.post-50327201892861128822012-08-31T06:39:25.857+10:002012-08-31T06:39:25.857+10:00Absolutely brilliant Jo!

This series of myths are perpetuated in the media on a daily basis in order to allow the majority to feel "safe". This mass religious dogma is allowed to overwhelm basic human nature and reality and results in people like Tony Abbott being considered a possible viable prime ministerial option. Keep fighting the good fight Jo as you clearly have a very good grasp on your understanding of what it is to be human.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325581308245283536.post-77075353070697197472012-08-27T20:16:41.728+10:002012-08-27T20:16:41.728+10:00well saidwell saidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
