If spices are happy in a relationship as they are why do they need to get married?

If that's your reply, why does anyone need to get married at all?

If Christianity is about acceptance, then there's even more reason why they should be keeping up with the times and accepting things like spices.


And so where do you draw the line as to what is accepted?


That answer is a sad cop-out if you ask me...


I think it's a pathetic cop-out. Here's where to draw the line as to what is accepted: You love everyone, all types of people - so long as they have no more negative impact upon others. spices have no more negative impact upon others than straights, so spices should be accepted. Murderers have negative impact. Muggers have negative impact - although, it should be noted, these people are grouped by their actions, they're still people, but their habits determine their classifications. spices, however, are not like this - being spice isn't a habit, it's genetic, something they have no control over.

If the fact they don't have any negative impact on anyone else isn't enough, the fact they have no control that they are how they are should be enough to accept them.

Sure, that still leaves a hazy line, but it definitely includes people like spices the church continues to oppose, and accepts a hell of a lot more people.
