If there is a god, please explain why he allows little children to get cancer, and allows tornadoes, and hurricanes and earthquakes. Don't even TRY answering with the Adam and Eve b.s., because it is patently ridiculous, to begin with, and more importantly, even if Adam and Eve were TRUE, that would mean that god holds grudges, and punishes people today for something done by OTHER PEOPLE.

CNN is less biased than Fox, hands down. Fox is nothing but a right-wing, GOP propaganda station, promoting neo-con b.s.

Not to mention the fact that Fox recently had an anchor put out the ridiculous claim that Senator Obama and his wife may have been engaging in a "terrorist fist jab," when they bumped fists together prior to his Democratic nomination victory speech.

The Fox twit, E.D. Hill, actually said that some in "the media" claimed it might be a "terrorist fist jab."

NO ONE in the media claimed such a thing, for the record. It was merely a nutbag commenter in the comments section of a blog. The comment was even DELETED later. But to the Fox anchor, that one deleted comment in a blog constituted "THE MEDIA."

Fox is PURE GOP PROPAGANDA masquerading poorly as a legitimate news operation.

I believe that I was born bi-sexual. I didn't choose it. Whether it's fully genetically determined, or environmentally determined, one's sexual orientation isn't a concious choice. I suspect that orientation is primarily genetic.

Two words for you: "civil marriage" Never heard of one, have you?

People are married in civil ceremonies every day of the week.

You will have a much bigger difficulty proving you were not treated equally when you sue for federal marriage recognition, by citing the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, if you don't have the word "marriage" on your documentation.

The federal government does not recognize marriages by gay Americans. They do not recognize the marriages of people of the same gender in the state of Massachusetts, for example.

Under the 14th amendment, you are supposed to have the exact same rights as everyone else. So if you and your partner are gay and have a Massachusetts marriage license, for example, which is not recognized by the federal government, then you have cause for a lawsuit againt the government to get the same rights as your fellow straight Americans. You can go to the courts and say, "Here's my marriage license. Where are my Social Security survivor benefits?! Why am I not getting the same benefits as everyone else?, etc."

If the license is a "civil union" license, your court case will be that much harder to prove because the word "marriage" isn't on it, and the issue of being treated equally would be a little harder to prove semantically.

A case such as this will come before the courts most certainly within the next decade or so, and DOMA will indeed be struck down, and the government will have to recognize everyone's marriages equally.

Religion breeds anti-scientific thinking, and thus intellectual stagnation.

It most likely is primarily genetic. But, regardless of nature or nurture, it is NOT A CHOICE. You can't CHOOSE who you happen to be attracted to. I'm gay and I'm 5 foot 9, and I chose neither my height nor my sexual orientation.
