What giving rights and protections to minorities [of all kinds] does do is stop a bigoted majority
from discriminating against them.
So if you want to discriminate against black or interracial marriage by making it illegal or by refusing to
serve interracial couples then you are stuffed because people have worked out that this is morally wrong
and hateful and passed laws against it.
We are slowly passing such laws protecting other groups such as homosexuals.
If you, or anyone else is upset that you can no longer discriminate against these people then you are the
bad guys, you are promoting evil, and we don't give a [insert appropriate expletive here] whether you are upset
about it or not.
I'm utterly not sorry that you are but hurt that you can no-longer discriminate as much as you want to and
that your ability to make other people miserable has been curtailed.
Your rights to hold your religious beliefs do not allow you to impose those beliefs on anyone else.
And the fact that you are supper sad that you can no longer bully people as much as you want
frankly just makes you pathetic.

Originally posted by sonshipI agree. Legalizing homosexual marriage will make for a better fairer society, and everyone will be impacted as they live in that society. I see that as a good thing.

I watched a little bit and the speaker seems to be claiming that allowing homosexual marriage will result in Christians having their freedoms curtailed. Do you agree with that?
Do you generally agree with the speaker?
If I go through the video and comment on it, will you address any of my concerns?

It will eventually destroy them.
But redefining marriage between a male and a female is not only sinful and wrong, but it opens wide the door for more hideous changes.
How about a person who wants to marry their dog? Or horse? Or how about a marriage between 5 men and 3 woman? Where does it end?
You are looking at this through the eyes of a carnal human, an unbeliever, but the one behind this is Satan. What he wants is to destroy the family unit. He would like to twist and confuse all that good and decent.

It continued when men and women began marrying outside the true faith. Of course, there being only one true faith, any such marriage would have at least one infidel in it. Some religions, eg the RCC, required that the infidel spouse agree to raise any children in the RCC, and then the marriage could be conducted in the church. But then, many couples wed somewhere else, meaning their marriage didn't count.
We need to straighten this out.

A number of times we were assured by Gay activists that a certain step would not result in a further step. IE. "If A is made legal, B will not automatically follow."
Actually it has been the opposite. B did follow A which concern was promised as a slippery slope fallacy. It has not been a slippery slope fallacy. It has been a slippery slope.
And many suspect that the downward slide will continue.
Assurances of "slippery slope fallacy" are only temporary sedatives to pacify. And if this is not true of the same activists, it is true for close colleagues of them who are standing by to make the next move.
We can expect polygamy and group marriage to appear before the US Supreme Court probably in our lifetimes.

Originally posted by checkbaiterWhat if an entire country wants to get married, following that logic. What business is it of yours if you are not in that country? How would that effect you and your loved ones in your own country? If 4 men want to get married or 3 women and 54 men so what? What business is it of yours? Will it destroy your marriage? Will your kids be forever tainted? No. It is their business and none of your own who sleeps with who, who is married to whom. It is all about civil rights. If a dude wants to marry his camel, so what, how is that going to effect you?

Like Dylan said, "The times they are a changing" and there is not a thing you can do about it so live with it. It is going to be a different planet a hundred years from now, the number of people objecting to gay marriage gets smaller and smaller as time goes by.
Just like racism, there are less and less racists as time goes on, for one thing because of inter-marriage, the tendency is for everyone to be brown skinned.
So gay marriage will spread, the legality of it will spread and there is ZERO you can do about it except grouse and it is none of your business EVER to say who marries whom.
Get over it.

Originally posted by sonshipI was born 'straight' and am happily married. I didn't however 'choose' to be straight, i was just made that way. Similarly, somebody who is 'gay' didn't 'choose' to be gay, They were also 'made that way.'

Now if you are going to put forward the proposition of a 'Creator God' then surely you have to concede that God created both straight and gay human beings? And if this is the case, why should only straight people enjoy the sanctuary of marriage? That seems illogical. That seems hateful.
Originally posted by sonshipI rarely watch YouTube videos posted on this forum. I am however willing to do so given some preconditions:
We've had the standard reaction by those who probably did not watch the video (or much of it).
1. The poster must agree with the contents of the video, or specify beforehand which parts he disagrees with. There is simply no point writing out all my complaints just to be told the poster doesn't agree either.
2. The poster must be willing to discuss the contents of the video.
Are you ready to agree to those conditions, or is this a hit and run thread?

Originally posted by JS357Some of my ancestors were 'Quakers' so I know a little about them. At that time record keeping of births, marriages and deaths was conducted by the Church. Because Quakers didn't go to Church, they instead had to keep their own records. I do not know how this affected the legality of their births marriages and deaths, but I would think there were some legal implications given that marriage certificates were produced by Churches.
Some religions, eg the RCC, required that the infidel spouse agree to raise any children in the RCC, and then the marriage could be conducted in the church. But then, many couples wed somewhere else, meaning their marriage didn't count.
[edit]
I discovered this on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaker_wedding
Quaker marriage has been subject of special law in England and Wales from the 18th century to the present day. The first Marriage Act 1753, which regulated the legal and civic recognition of marriage, recognised only marriages conducted by the "Society of Friends", Jews and the Church of England, and removed recognition of common law marriage or marriage conducted by any other religious group. Thus, Quakers' marriages were legally recognised at a time when marriages within other non-conformist traditions were not legally recognised.
Interesting.
[edit]
According to this:
http://www.hitchin.plus.com/Quakers/Marhist.htm
There were some problems in the early years with Quaker marriages not being officially recognised.
