Guido Edwards replied to mark julius r. batugal's discussion 'this house believes that gay marriage is wrong' in the group Quick Arguments Against Religion"Marriage is a commitment between people that follow guidelines of the government and/or culture. Geographically speaking it may or may not be immoral depending on where you are at. Good luck, maybe this will spark an idea."

- an atheist living in the biggest roman catholic country in asia, studying in a catholic school run by monks.
- Age
- 13-18
- Why are you here?
- in my school i only know 3 atheists, my family is deeply religious, it would be good to know others who are like me, and to learn how to argue my side and learn how to live with the religious.
- The religion you left
- Catholic
- Why you left your religion.
- the church teaches men to live peacefully together, to be united, i just cant stand the hypocrisy anymore, they themselves are separated and desire singularity and superiority, they use their influence to control the government and slowing down progress in my third world country, their teachings are old and not applicable in our time, and the more they "evolve" their dogma the farther it gets to the bible.
