Gay marriage is wrong


Gay Marriage Is Wrong

            There are only a few states that allow gay marriage. California is simply one that does. But there are even more states that disagree with marriage of the same sex. Some states have even made specific amendments (laws) that do not allow gay marriage. Texas and North Carolina are just two of many states that disagree with it. I personally disagree with gay marriage because of many reasons. Number one being the bible says in a few different ways that being homosexual at all is wrong. The new testament states this in Romans 1:26-27: "For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.". The code of leviticus also states this"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination" (18:22) and goes on in even further detail by saying "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them" (20:13).  My second reason for disagreeing with being homosexual in general is that a male and a male cannot reproduce naturally. Same goes for a women and another women. To me that is basically nature saying homosexaulity is wrong. These are just two of the many reasons why i disagree with gay marriage, because if you disagree with homosexuality in general than you do not support gay marriage.

the past and the present


The current and the past

There is a huge difference between vehicles today and vehicles in the late 1800’s, when people first started driving gasoline powered cars.

Today people drive electric cars that are better for the environment and doesn’t burn fossil fuels and pollute the atmosphere. Not to mention today the cars that do run on gas get approximately 20-30 miles to the gallon, but when gas powered cars were first invented probably got around 5 mpg. In the late 1800’s people had just invented gasoline fueled cars that burned lots of gas.

Another huge difference is the vehicle’s top speeds. The average modern car can reach around one hundred mph and there are many cars that can go even faster. The fastest car in the world is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. It can reach almost 300 mph. Compared to 1800’s cars which probably couldn’t top 30 mph.

There are many huge differences between cars drove in the past and the cars of today. Mileage and speed are just two of the biggest.
