As a disclaimer, I am straight as can be. I usually just lurk in this sub, but I see bigotry and hatred in these comments that kind of disturbs me, Jesus did not teach us to act in such a hateful and persecuting manner. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with same-sex searches because again, it has no effect whatsoever on your life experience or your use of the website.

Who is being "hateful" and "persecuting?" It's not the guys running their business, it's the people telling them how they have to run things in a manner contrary to what the owners believe is morally right.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with same-sex searches because again, it has no effect whatsoever on your life experience or your use of the website.

Let's assume you're right and only the people whose "lives are affected" can be upset about this. The website owners are out over 450000 dollars over this and are forced to run their business against their consciences.

So whose life is unaffected? This is not justice. As a Christian, you ought to desire justice.

I'm seeing none of what you describe. Most of the comment are about "do they really need to force this on us?"

Why does something need to directly affect me for me to be disgusted by this attack on the freedom of business owners? Nobody should be forced to cater to anyone they don't want to, and the inclusion of this trite nonsense in the Civil Rights Act was a horrible mistake.

We're not acting in a hateful and persecuting manner by simply pointing out that explicitly Christian dating sites shouldn't have to compromise on the Christian view of marriage and sexuality.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with same-sex searches because...

You don't see why people would have a problem with encouraging behavior objectively contrary to ordered living? If that's the case it's you who needs to grow in love of neighbor because two of the spiritual works of mercy are to instruct the ignorant and admonish the sinner; you can't do either by acting as if people's actions don't have consequences.

If someone killed John Smith of Oakland tomorrow, it would have "no effect", in the sense that you mean, on my life. Should I therefore be indifferent to John's right to life, or about bringing his killer to justice? Since when is apathy a virtue?

From a layman in the Church, with a very brief comment on my view.

Basically for a Catholic the ultimate end goal to look for in a relationship I'd marriage right, we don't go for flings etc.

With the same-sex searches that'll promote same-sex relationships, which is ok. But it'll promote same-sex marriages, which is not (because CCC, Bible, Church teachings etc).

Maybe in the searches if the site stipulated it's only for Christians (I assume that's how it works) and if you're same-sex, then you have to remember you can only get civil partnerships? Or would that be illegal, who knows.

Except that you can' t get that either, if you are assuming civil partnerships include the act itself...

[–]Zywakem 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Act of what?

Also I thought the Church was ok with civil partnerships, because they're not marriages.

No, because it leads to an occasion of sin.

[–]-Mochaccina- 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We can't support sin, and that is supporting sin, advocating for civil unions..on a Christian site. If we can't support the civil unions, we can't support the relationships. Even if they're celibate, it may lead to an occasion of sin.

There are plenty of denominations that allow for gay people to marry, such as the episcopalians for example.

It's not "catholicmeet" or whatever, they're also Christians.

I'm aware this is outside the argument of the state forcing them to do this, I'm more addressing the argument that all Christians oppose this. From a certain view you could argue that this makes Christian mingle more Christian since now it allows options for more denominations

That wouldn't make it more Christian, in fact, it's skewing away, normalizing a sin, as some Protestant denominations now do. They're definitely not orthodox Christians, those denominations.
