    This is great news. This might trigger a domino effect on the rest of the nation on gay marriage rights. I feel after the 2008 vote on Prop 8 the whole country, not just California, closed the doors on their rights.

    I feel like the government shouldnt be able to control who you marry regaurdless of their gender. If you love them you love them. Gay marriage should be allowed in every state.

    I'm all for people getting married to who they wish. It's their choice, they should be able to do what they want to be committed and forever bonded.

    This is totally great. I think it made a great comparison between racism and being against gay marriage. I highly recommend watching this.

    I watched this and I really liked it. I give him credit for being a preacher and going against all other preachers by speaking on behalf of gay marriage.

    It just goes to show that you can't let one person represent an entire religion.

    Religion though, should not influence the policies of government upon gay marriage. Just a side note, I laugh at images of people going to his protest, and raising a sign that says, "god hates signs," or "He's gay"

    Exactly. Our country isn't ruled by religion its ruled by the people and their choices.

    I agree also, religion should stay out of politics, the only reason people think being homosexual is wrong is because it says so in the bible. Gay couples who get married aren't hurting anyone or anything, I really think that this even being an issue is absurd.

    I agree that one person can not represent an entire religion. One can represent their own easy because it is their personal belief on said subject. I give him props for being a willing person to speaking his views on gay marriage. The bible does not exactly say that it is not okay to be homosexual. It says its not okay to lay with someone of the same sex if I remember right. So I feel the physical part is viewed as not ok, wile the mental area should be taken in mind as well.

    Every time someone "interprets" the bible it's like they are trying to "play God". They all try to say this is what God thinks and this is what He believes is wrong. I mean we should all be able to interpret it our own way and not try to make others believe in our interpretation, especially if it portrays God as "against" his own creations.

    Religion is based off of your own personal faith and beliefs and with so many different versions and beliefs you can't let one person say what it means and stereotype that religion. You also have to consider the fact that things change with time, people evolve and so do thoughts. Like Snider showed in the video, we once thought that racism was right and accepting other nationalities was against their religion.

    As I have said before, religion should have no influence when it comes to government policy. As for the bible, I could point out many things wrong with the bible, and the idea that Christianity not supporting gay relationships. I will not, simply out of the urge as to not ruin peoples views on religion. What I will say, is that the bible should also have no say on our government as well. Religion should, and is, also limited in the US, contrary to popular belief. Religion has been limited to 1st, no human sacrifice. (We don't need them crazy beheading Aztec's coming in and just start slicing peoples heads off right?) Second, separation of church and state. That right there means religion is not allowed to say, "You can't be gay, ban gay marriage." (And oddly, it still managed to happen.) I'm really looking forward to the supreme courts ruling on this, as long as they decide to take the case.

    Image Credit: Ng Han Guan/AP Photo North Korea tried to flex its military might with an extravagant parade on April 15, just three days after it admitted that its missile test had been a failure, but analysts now say that the new intercontinental ballistic missiles on display in the meticulously choreographed parade were nothing more than props.

    It's ridiculous that a handful of people can be so much more wealthy that the rest of us. But if they worked for it and earned it than props to them for putting that in. Otherwise that's ridiculous, there are so many hard working people out their that won't make 1/16 of what these people make.

    It's crazy how barely any people would be much richer than everybody is. I don't see the point why they make so much while other people are struggling to even get enough money to feed one mouth. People work hard and yet barely make a little more of minimum wage. I honestly think its ridiculous and unfair.

    I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who will really use it for bettering themselves.

    I think it's ridiculous how hard some people work to survive and take care of others. I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who work hard and live paycheck to paycheck.
