Marriage, historically, has not been religious. It has been a way to control women, and to obtain a dowry.
Well... historically (Biblically) it has likewise been religious.
But I understand it is forming into a more traditional entity than a religious one. Unfortunate. A new ceremony will eventually have to be made. "Religion" will probably be the one to have to do it.
Who cares if some religious fundamentalists are upset that their sanctity has been damaged?
I do.
The people who create this country and government do.
Any respecting person does.
The religions don't need to condone same-sex marriage, as the marriage that homosexuals are looking for is a LEGAL marriage, by the state, with no religion involved whatsoever.
If they were only wanting legalities, that'd be one thing. But that's not the case.
They want to play the game without playing by the rules.
Murder is different. It actually affects other people. Same-sex marriage doesn't, unless you count the sanctity of their marriage being destroyed, which is perhaps the most feeble argument ever.
Murder only affects one person. And when that person is dead, that affect goes with them.
I fail to see logic in morals outside of religion.
Cruel, you're a complete idiot.
*gulp*
Then one could only imagine what kind of sub-human waste that deems you to be...
Can you DEFINE satire for me? Do you understand the basis of his whole ideal and post?
Yes and yes.
Please point out for me an instance where I did not carefully take all satire into consideration for my response.
You disgust me. I certainly hope you're going through some kind of crisis that is inhibiting your brain from functioning even slightly. Your hands can type remarkably faster than your mind can think apparently. (not that that's an impressive feat or anything -_-)
And Someone doesn't "Become gay"
It's just the difference of when they decide to come out. Not turning into it.
Wrong. *suprise!!* -_-
Plenty of people "become gay". I have an aunt and an uncle who did. They were straight and they'll admit to it.
Having Gay parents will only influence the child to have pride towards homosexuals, not lead him to be one.
Is one not more likely to become gay if they have gay parents, as opposed to straight ones?
Or I am the only one here with a lick of sense and deductive reasoning?
