I never see the point in these threads. You can't get the other side to agree with you so it just turns to insults.

Actually, House of Wolf, that matter is currently being seen to by the Supreme Court of Canada. There's a town in BC called Bountiful where a bunch of CLDS folks are practising it.

I actually have no problem with polyamorous marriage, as opposed to polygamy in the traditional sense.

Marriage provides benefits to couples who seek to enter into a major social contract with each other, promising to uphold their responsibilities within said contract.


And what are you talking about, with illegality? Heteros get married for money all of the time, and it's viewed as essentially legal to do so (research "Kim Kardashian").

It's not an insult if it's true.

And no, dingleberry, I was pointing-out that religion has nothing to do with marriage any longer, in all legal sense.

Legalizing gay marriage

DOES NOT

force any church or pastor to perform the ceremony. Heck, plenty of hetero couples have ceremonies at town hall nowadays.

I would have to agree.

I don't think the problem is with the threads themselves, but with people taking the arguments personally.

#1 Yes it dose, but do those bennfits need to be a right? do you need to have this contract to be happy with the other person? is there no other reason for marriage?

#3 wow once again you have to insult, can you please try not to do that? you broke the rules twice already. Go take a break breath in and breath out, if this keeps up your going to get in trouble and I DONT want that
#4 I disagree with that, there is no "fact" on that anywhere, but my point was more of churches do marriages more then any other place, we would be forced to marry two gays which goes against our beliefs

Wolfie, yes. I don't think you quite understand what marriage actually is, and that's where this entire disconnect centers.

you are aware when you say that "it goes against our beliefs", most of us don't really think gay marriage is wrong, for it to have benefits it needs to be coded under marriage which is a legal contract as House of the wolf already said, and marriage is a right, if you got the benefits from marriage by having two people say they love each other then everyone would be doing that just for the benefits which would harm our the system

It does go some way to supporting the theory that debating is merely a verbal fight.

Oh this is rich let me guess, your and ONLY your side can define what marrige is and THATS the right one?


To me marriage was made BY GOD to be between a man and women

would you say thats wrong? I cant have my beliefs? I have to give that up?

the very idea of a man and a man marrying goes against what God says, he makes it clear that a marriage is man and women, not a man and a man

so to my beliefs gays cant marry because marriage is not FOR a man and a man

would you say thats wrong? I cant have my beliefs? I have to give that up?

Dragons!

At least they don't lie to themselves that a debate is anything more than a fight.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: It is abomination

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Excuse me then, God may not hate them for being gay. Although the KJV Bible states:




So the Christian God doesn't exactly smile upon gays.

Leviticus 20:9 If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.

20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death.

Deuteronomy 22:20-1 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house.

Exodus 35:2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.
