Okay, that is one SERIOUSLY offensive stereotype. I don't think anyone will burn in hell because they don't believe in the God. Neither does our congregation pastor. Or anyone else Lutheran I know. <_< What comes to the original topic, I don't think we shouldn't allow same-sex marriages, but instead equalize registered partnership with it. Here in Finland at least registered partnership is otherwise completely similar to marriage in every other way except that you can't adopt children and you can't change your surname to be the same (and you can't have a wedding in the church, obviously). The third I can understand due to religious reasons (it's something I have had converstations about with our congregation pastor), but the lack of being allowed to do the first two are just ridiculous and should be allowed in my eyes. Just my 0.02. Lmao then whats the point. O btw, if you say you guys believe that you won't go to hell if you don't believe in god, then why do you believe in God? The point there is that then registered partnerships and marriages would be precisely the same except for the religious part, so the religious people who don't want same-sex marriages can't really complain about it. And what the heck are you talking about with the last sentence? You think there's no reason to believe in God if not believing doesn't make you go to hell? <_<
