Pastor outraged about same sex marriage

[McGherkin]

The way I see religion is as follows:

Religion is much like a scientific theory. It's an attempt to explain how things work. Often these theories stand for thousands of years, sometimes they are proven wrong, sometimes they are only partially proven wrong. We know the Big Bang happened, but that does not prove any religion to be completely wrong, only part of it. All the morals (love thy neighbour, respect others e.t.c.) are still valid. There may even be a God, who knows. Personally I can see there being a point of creation (since something cannot come from nothing according to the current set of theories we work with, eventually scientists will get to a point where that something came into being, and who knows, it may have been created by a God)

Just because theories have been proven wrong, doesn't mean to say that it is considered stupid claptrap, in fact many theories we know are wrong are still remembered with pride to this day, simply because they were great discoveries.

So, the Bible stated that homosexuals are devils and demons e.t.c., but we know these days that this isn't really true. People still against homosexuals are like scientists still supporting the Plum Pudding model of the atom.

However, marriage is a ceremony carried out as part of the Christian theory. You marry with the rules set out in the book, however outdated they are. If you want to get married but don't meet what is said by the Bible, get a civil partnership. Or follow your own version of Christianity which allows it. God is different things to different people.
