Thank you for catching that error for me. I'll be more careful in the future.

And no. You are incorrect. That IS the correct spelling - irrespective of your location - or nationality [unless you're American, it would seem].
Well, you must have some super secret insider information that no one else has. No dictionary results for bibel.
Google indicates it is a surname
Bibel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and German for Bible, Die Bibel.

Fu*k God.
Blind believers are what I'm "angry with". God is a part of their trap. They WISH to remain in the trap that their God placed them in - I do not. You say "God loves you" ... and yet you are blind to the fact that - in his own words - he "imprisoned you here". How can that be reconciled? I know! *Through! Blind! Faith!* haha.
Yes, I see you are quite angry with God but, that's between you and Him. I don't think I can help you with that.

Or perhaps we could return to the discussion at hand. Same-sex marriage is not evil. Homosexuality is NOT a sin. They SHOULD be allowed to have the choice of being married [and divorced] JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. Stay out of their lives. Stop preaching horseshit as fact. They are NOT debasing America.
But, this we can work on. I didn't say same-sex marriage is evil. I didn't say homosexuality is a sin. I did say the push to "legalize" same-sex marriage is another of the many moves by the left...far left liberals... to debase America. This is in keeping with the OP's statement... the title ( or should that be titel?).
Shall we discuss that then?
Marriage is an institution meant to provide for the survival of humanity through the birth of, and the decreased mortality of, human infants.
This has, to the best of my knowledge, always been between a man and a woman since it requires one of each, not 2 of the same, to procreate.
It is an agreement between these 2, the man and the woman, to work together to create and support the new generations to follow.
The same-sex marriage demand for 2 people, of the same sex, to be recognized as the same institution marriage was intended to be, is not an attempt to equalize the different relationships but to force the acceptance of a relationship that was considered aberrant just a few decades ago.
It might be helpful to understand that liberals do not care about the individuals in the same-sex relationships. They only care that they have an issue that "creates" a disadvantaged class of people. Victims they can parade around, claiming they are being discriminated against by "the other party". I wonder. Have any of you really noticed "which party" divides everyone into a class? But, that's another political argument for later.
Does anyone recall, earlier on in the argument for same-sex marriage, that the "struggle" was equated to the civil rights movement in the 60's and on? They were suffering the same discrimination as the blacks were? I don't recall Martin Luther King "coming out" as a black man and demanding equal recognition.
Many of the "intellectual elites" scoff at the assertion that same-sex marriage legalization/recognition will lead to even more demands for acceptance of other "relationships" like NAMBLA, beastiality, and whatever other perversions are lurking in the dark. All I can say is, "Remember O'Toole's Corollary of Finagle's Law...The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum."
Why can't they accept civil unions, domestic partnerships, or simple cohabitation and leave marriage as it was intended. Are they "themselves" demeaning those who are in such relationships? Devaluing those relationships to a lesser level?
I don't care what someone's sexual preferences are or who they choose to live with. I do have a problem when they feel they have a right to shove it in my face and demand I accept it and alter a thousands-of-years-old institution to their arrogation.
