Sorry i should have stuck to boys ****ing...

basically god can't love all his children equally if they have different rights that is unequal and the reasoning behind it is irrelevant to the fact of its inequality.

You have two different things here.

1. You are complaining that David is inconsistent in applying or explaining the rules of his Church.
Fair enough.
Your complain would be like a parent saying they do not allow footballs at the breakfast table but the other parent (David) says to the kids "..but I don't mind it".
OK.

2. In another complaint you suppose that if there is a God then that God must allow or condone or endorse same-sex marriages or else He must not love some and love others.
Depends.
If same-sex marriage is unhelpful, counter-productive, misleading, artificial and detrimental then God is showing love by forbidding it.

Now treating people equally is something that might also be different than 'loving people equally as much.
In an example:
- the parents may love both sons equally as much but 15 year old Brian is very good at digesting a beer and handling himself well and so he is allowed a beer on some nights. His twin brother Jason does not handle alcohol, becomes agitated, demands more beer, acts the fool. Jason is not allowed to drink beer.
You can say the parents love both children equally and the fact they don't allow Jason beer is actually demonstrating this and not mitigating this love.

Can you agree?
