I live in the southern USA and in my city, there's a murder every week, voilence is non-stop, and there's so many drug problems and just a general lack of decency.

However, the pastor at my church said last Sunday that "gays being able to be married is the biggest problem our city faces" and always lashes out against stuff like gay marriage, abortion, and teaching contraception in schools saying that it's the worst thing happening to our city. After the service, I asked him why he was focusing on Gay Marriage when murders were so rampant & obviously a bigger problem. All he said was "we already have laws against that" and turned his back to me.

My aunt also agrees with the pastor that gay marriage is the worst problem facing us, and not violence, even though her fiance was killed by gunshot many years ago and she had been carjacked several times. What do you think is a bigger problem?

Gay marriage isn't even a crime. The only problem with gays getting married is that people think they have the right to force their bronze-age beliefs on others.

Thanks for making black people look badder than they already are.

No WTF?

Your pastor said that? I'll bet $1000 he's gay.

"What do you think is a bigger problem?"

Religion.

Without religion homophobia would hardly exist.

You can kill a person and still they can go to Heaven, but if you involve someone in perversity you damn them. Now I know your trick, you come into a Religious Forum because you want a religious answer so you can mock it. IF this were a political forum I would say murder.

i think the real problem here is bigotry,


i think this question itself is ridiculous.

and you should open your mind.

tell your pastor that people were born gay,
and that we have a loving god who created them that way.

If you want to go to church go to one that isn't focused on hate next time.

Gay marriage isn't even a crime (unless you live in N.Carolina). No offense, but this pastor of your is blatantly careless about real world problems, and is ignorant in the way he sees things. Laws don't prevent people from murdering, it just sets up a punishment, and even then, people can get away with crimes if they have enough money. That's life for you, people are either ignorant or out for themselves, even at the expense of others.
