Is Hindu Marriage Moral

quote:

gay marriage is wrong and is only going to contribute to the continued degeneration of the West.

Cool, a testable prediction! So will the social fabric degenerate more in states that allow homosexual marriage as opposed to states that have banned it?

To tell the truth, I think that the topic "Is Hindu marriage moral" is getting at the wrong thing.Faith doesn't thinks gay marriage is immoral because she thinks homosexuality is immoral. This is because the Bible declares homosexuality to be immoral.Hindus having sex isn't called immoral in the Bible, and it isn't immoral in Faith's book. Being Hindu (Well, being of a false religion) is immoral in Faith's book though ( I think) .So the issue isn't "If homosexual marriage is immoral because of the Bible, so is Hindu marriage". I think it's more correct to say "If homosexual marriage is immoral because of the Bible, so is Hinduism".Of course, this still gives problems to Faith - why does she want homosexual marriage outlawed because it's against her religion, but not Hinduism outlawed because it's against her religion?Hope that made sense!

Cool. Would something such as say, divorce rate be a good indicator of the decay of the social fabric?Wouldn't homosexual marriage help improve the "social fabric" by helping those homosexuals make healthy family units? I mean denying them the right to marry kind of makes such a family unit unneccessarily difficult. Isn't commitment as shown in marriage a family value?I'm rambling.

Well yes Hinduism is certainly going to be immoral according to the bible, as is homosexuality. But from what I've gathered, homosexual marriage is fought against because it is a legal acknowledgement, acceptance, and promotion of something that is seen as being wrong. In the same sense, Hindu marriage is a legal acknowledgement, acceptance and promotion of something that is seen as immoral by the same standard.

I think what you mean that in the same sense, allowing people to be Hindu is a legal acknowledge, acceptance, blah blah blah of something immoral.Hindus marrying doesn't go against Biblical morality. Homosexual marriage does. Hinduism does. Not people marrying who happen to be Hindus.
