Gallup- Support for same-sex marriage hits new high majority-

Sam- those are not arguments- they are distractions.

Ths issue is not polygamy or marrying your toaster- the issue is the marriage between two people who enjoy a relationship just like my wife and I enjoy, except that they happen to be of the same gender.

Ignore the stupid slippery slope concepts of those who use them only to justify discrimination against people.

Tell me Sam- why are you against those two people not being married like my wife and I are?

Tell me Sam- if they have children- why wouldn't you want those children to be raised by married parents?

 

I'll post the rest of the quote you left out..........

 

Yeah. He does like to edit out permanent info from posts.

 

No, it was merely the first time a gay couple asked a court for a right to marriage and the first time a court denied it. "Case"s don't prohibit marriage between two people of the same sex Minnesotas statutes by using the word "marriage" prohibited marriage long before Baker Nelson was decided. As the court states it is from territorial days.
Even Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, the first court to create a right to gay marriage in the US confirms that use of the word "Marriage" prohibits same sex marriage.

Not that I expect you to read or comprehend what directly refutes your claims. Two state supreme courts holding that the word "marriage" prohibits marriages of the same sex. Goodridge had to in order to hold the prohibition unconstitutional.

 

I'll never understand why you deliberately make yourself look stupid by posting things that directly refute your own claims.

 

Because both cases DIRECTLY refute your claims and support mine. That's why I constantly quote the text of the decision to support my assertions while you have nothing other than your personal thoughts. Supreme court cases have much more authority than the silly ideas bouncing around in your head.

 

No, I simply select the portions of posts I choose to respond to.

 

One does not have to be an evangelical Christian to recognize that marriage is between a man and a woman.

 

Yes, you do like being very selective don't you? If the question is one that you cannot answer or one that you know destroys your ideology you simply ignore it. Good for you dixon, being so dishonest all the time.

One does not have to be non-religious to recognize that the idea of marriage being between a man and a woman is just a human designed concept and that marriage itself was also designed by humans and that it can be changed.

Why do you expect me to support something (gay marriage) that goes against my beliefs, religious or not?

 

Read it. Still doesn't change the fact that marriage was designed by humans and can be changed by them as well.

For example, pedophilia is already allowed in highly religious countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Little girls are often married off to old men.

Still that is when we as humans have to make the decision for ourselves where to draw the line on what is allowed in marriage.

For me I think if it is between two or more consenting adults it is ok, because that is as close to freedom as we can get without actually harming anyone.

What say you?

Where did I say that?

 

???? Actually I provided two state Supreme court cases that DIRECTLY refute his claim that same sex marriage wasn't prohibited before 1971 and DIRECTLY supports my assertion that it was prohibited everywhere before 1971 that had a "marriage" law.

 

Well often times you remove context that is important.
