If you're a Christian then yes, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. If you aren't a Christian then he most likely holds little to no significance in your life. Either option is fine.
In other words, you can be a proponent of filicide, misogyny and slavery, or you can stand in opposition of these things.
Your position is that either option is fine?
That's because different gods were invented by different people.
Heh...thx. It's ok though. I'm at the age now where my friends have kids, I have my own kids and a bazillion kids in my extended family, so for the last few years, everybody in my circle agreed not to buy each other anything and spend everything on the kids. Christmas has been so much more enjoyable ever since. I personally dislike receiving gifts. If I want something, I buy it. Chances are if I don't already have it, it's because I don't want it and then I'll just have to go through the trouble of pretending I like it and later hope that whomever gave it to me doesn't notice that I never wear/use/eat it.
I guess it helps cut down on the spread of Islam, so that's good at least.
I hope the Christians are still here.

Sadly this is probably the best debate on the site at the moment. This place has really turned into a sea of turds over the years.
I feel bad about it, but they make me sick. You can only listen to somebody tell you your lost cat came home because they prayed about it for so long before you ask why some baby-killing celestial psychopath is more concerned with reuniting me with my cat than he is with nine million children under the age of five years old dying horrible deaths every single year. This inevitably leads to the conversation ending with hurt feelings and the realization that we just can't see eye to eye on anything. It's not really possible to maintain a relationship with people whose immorality disgusts you.
Yes, Christianity.

Mine are still married, but they're pretty much dead to me since they're in a cult.
Yeah, but then it goes on to say,
...but then it goes on to say things which are not relevant to the meaning of 'consummation of marriage' with respect to gay marriage, which is superfluous when your debate title is What would - consummation of a marriage - mean in relation to gay marriage?
What would - consummation of a marriage - mean in relation to gay marriage?
It seems to me the link you provided explains it well enough doesn't it?
Consummation or consummation of a marriage, in many traditions and statutes of civil or religious law, is the first (or first officially credited) act of sexual intercourse between two individuals, following their marriage to each other.
Are there no atheist in prison?
Very few actually.

That's hardly surprising though when you consider that ignorance and poverty breed crime and religiosity in equal amounts.
So you can see that they instinctively know what we already know to be true; homosexuality is an aberration. But they are on the wrong side of the equation and are on a fool's errand to get on the right side. And I know of only one way to get on the right side, change. And not everybody else but you.
You're suggesting they change their sexual orientation?
And there'd be nothing to photograph because all the women would be dressed like ninjas.
I wanted to say Islam, but since that's not an option in this debate, I'll go with Islamic Apple customers.
It's fortunate there are people (be they liberal or otherwise) who don't wait around hoping God will start doing his job.
Gay men have been known to cause pain in the asses of other gay men from time to time, except in Iran, where there are no gay men.
