    there is no logic in this statement. Government does not regulate elderly or infertile couples.

    They do through marriage, from your own arguments

    So again, what special benefits are given to homosexuals that are not given to elderly and infertile heterosexuals?

    With one single question your point has been destroyed which is why you will be unable to answer

    No — we are speaking of kinship.
    First cousin marriage is legal in most of the Deep South. Are you saying a mother and her son should be able to marry? Or are you speaking of uncles with their niece?

    I do not speak about kinship, this discussion has nothing about kinship.
    This is about public deception, that led to horrible situation where government is trying to justify crime against humanity.
    Yes, people have eaten fake equality BS without thinking too much, now they have to pay the price letting progressive mutilate their children.

    it was special privileges like visiting your spouse in the hospital that only applied to heterosexuals, now it applies to both equally

    We can talk about equality when all types of couples are equal including asexual couples. It is not currently the case

    Marriage creates kinship where none exists previously.
    It is a civil agreement between two people.

    You still cannot answer the question:
    What special benefits are given to homosexuals that are not given to elderly and infertile heterosexuals?

    If a simple question exposes your position so severely that you must avoid it then your position is flawed.

    whatever it is, there is no equality if rights are not equal.
    there are other types of couples besides homo and hetero sexuals.
    you are trying to push fallacy again to justify crime

    As a single male I am denied equality to form any kind of union I want and receive same benefits that was unconstitutionally extended to homosexual couples.

    This is why same sex rights have over a 70% approval rating in the US and why your side continues to lose battle after battle.

    You cannot answer a simple question without it destroying your position and screaming that incest couples are being discriminated against is even more laughable.

    So you feel because you have been unable to find someone (your words, not a personal insult) that those dastardly “criminal” gays (again, your words) shouldn't be able to have it either?

    That’s fascinating
    And sad

    Everyone deserves love

    George Washington was undeniably a Christian. You have your back against the wall so you mock. I will no longer be your entertainment.

    Seems our federal government has chosen to celebrate gay pride by giving its flag equal standing to Old Glory. I have no idea why it's flying at half mast, but there it is, taking its place at a national cemetery.

    He was actually an Anglican. But making up things seem to be a talent for some. He also owned over 120 slaves. An excellent source for you to base your ethics off of.

    My back isn’t isn’t against any wall as I don’t have to invent a sky being for me to excuse my bigotry or hate and I don’t have to have one to give my life meaning.

    And sure you will.

    What sort of union is it that you want, and are denied?

    "And above all....he hath diffused the glorious light of the gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer,we may become the heirs of his eternal glory."
    General orders of Washington November 27,1779, quoting a Congressional Proclamation.

    Washington wrote to John Christian Ehler on December 23,1793 calling on him to be more of a Christian- ...."Don't let this be your case. Show yourself more of a man, and a Christian, than to yield to intolerable vice....."

    In September 1775 he spoke as a Christian to Col. Benedict Arnold: "I also give it in charge to you to avoid all Disrespect to or Contempt of the Religion [Roman Catholicism] of the Country [Canada] and it's ceremonies. Prudence, Policy and a true Christian Spirit, will lead to look with Compassion upon their Errors without insulting them....God alone is the Judge of the Hearts of men...."

    That last one you could take to study (if you yourself were Christian) and learn from Washington. He did have slaves on his plantation as did most of his contemporaries, but his was a different relationship than most and e evolved from that practice toward the end of his life. Perhaps you will evolve in your "denial of God as you get toward the end of your own life. Washington was my kind of Christian. Not perfect, but resolute in his goals toward perfection.

    Anyone having to choose to believe in god so they can not be scared of death is a gd coward.

    Too much of your realign on was stolen from pagan to ever be taken seriously. And the fact that you say is different for good Christians to have owned people because your disgusting book said so is beyond salvation.

    It truly is fascinating the lengths some people will go to in order to construct themselves as 'victims'. This has become a foundation of the current version of American conservatism, along with blaming everyone else (especially certain minorities) for everything.

    First off, the Bible does not condone slavery. It discusses slavery as the history and nature of mankind. I would point out, a good many Christians of Washington's time opposed slavery and it is due to their efforts it was outlawed. Christians are imperfect people. Unlike you, they acknowledge it and appeal to a higher standard. Your standard is no higher than the space between your ears I might add. I was never scared of death before I believed. Like you, I thought I would fall asleep and it would be over. It was "eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die". No big deal! Somehow I realized my soul was eternal. The promise of heaven was interesting. I don't fully understand it, but from what I have seen, I don't think I am equipped to understand it. From reading the Word of God, I came to understand what love is. Not the cheap version you or the world has to offer. Love makes eternity worthwhile. Personally, I never gave a damn about hell. I feel I have experienced a little bit of it here on earth and I definitely know others have experienced much much more. Jesus came to set those captives free and that is what He did. Happiness depends on what happens, but joy is something that is experienced daily by walking with God.
