South Carolina Supreme Court Halts Same-Sex Marriage Licenses

They're trying to create something that didn't exist before and using a term that has offended many people.

I suspect that is the point of wanting it in the first place but, I could be off-base.

No they are not trying to "create" something new. Yet again, doesn't force anyones beliefs on you, you don't have to marry someone of the same sex.
 
They are the will of the people of the state who voted for them and no liberal activist judge should be allowed to overturn them.....To me its not against gays hooking up......call it anything you want just don't change the definition of marriage.

I thought so.
 
I don't recognize the comparison. Use some other example that actually makes sense.

Translation: your strawman was destroyed by that post so you deflect
 
I was speaking of indoctrination, not comparing people of different races with homosexuals.

When our children are scolded for not accepting sinful acts as normal, there's something pretty messed up going on.

Firstly, morality is relative. Secondly, since the acts are not sinful, there is nothing to scold. And thirdly, since there is nothing abnormal about the acts (if we forget about statistics), there is, again, nothing to scold.
 
No ones opinion is any less important than another here and, YOU as a Mod, should adhere to that notion.

Your opinions are less important than facts. What you consistently do is present your opinions as if the ARE facts, which they are not. I will keep pointing this out.
 
Not if one considers SSM a sinful 'commitment'
That's what you fail to grasp.

Then that is YOUR problem and yours alone. Your particular problem with it has no bearing on anyone else's relationship.
 
Faith! Find faith.

Faith is also subjective, in at least what we have faith in. Your religious doctrines and faith does not match up with that of others.
 
Yes, that's a conundrum for those who don't embrace the knowledge God has passed to us.

You have been told all of you life that it harms no one and is perfectly natural when in reality it harms us all in God's eyes

This is your own relative morality.
 
What are most opponants of SSM?


Religious

No, they're not. There are plenty of religious people who SUPPORT SSM. I am one. Most opponents of SSM are either rigid, uneducated on the issue, or who allow personal opinion to trump facts. I have no issue with you being against SSM because of your religious beliefs. I do have issue with you pretending that these opinions that you hold are facts and trying to present them as such.
 
I asked "how far will it go" and got no answer (including from you)

50 years ago, no one expected Gays and Ssm to be normalized or legal.

My point is as valid as it gets.

No, it's invalid for LOTS of reasons. Bestiality and pedophilia do not constitute consenting adults. SSM does. Polygamy does not constitute TWO consenting adults, SSM does. The issues you mention are inconsistent with SSM. It's a failed argument that folks on your side try to make and whom fail with it every time.

You... nor anyone else, has no right to not be offended. Your offense is irrelevant.
 
A single member of a court cannot (should not be able to) decide that for the people who voted against it. Let the states decide.

Not if it's unconstitutional. A major tenant of the Constitution is to not allow the majority to oppress the minority.
 
The fact that you choose not to recognize the comparison isn't surprising. 50-years ago the majority of people didn't want to see interracial couples married. They were in for a big surprise by 1967 and were probably just as pissed as you are.

Again...talking about *beyond* SSM. When will the depravity end?
 
No they are not trying to "create" something new. Yet again, doesn't force anyones beliefs on you, you don't have to marry someone of the same sex.

Since they are creating something *new...they can call it something *else.

Is that so hard? Or would that fly in the face of the whole agenda?

I might believe you except for the the actual real world experiences I've had in my own family.

Then it's a down right shame I can't put you on ignore. 8)

I'm not pretending anything, just refuting most of what you say.

It's not new and you and your ilk do not own the word marriage. So deal with it.
 
Again...talking about *beyond* SSM. When will the depravity end?

um it would be nice if you could show us that the depravity has started when it comes to marriage so far no one has been able to explain what's wrong with gay marriage

gotten some explanations saying some people believe their god doesn't like it

but that's not the same thing

without evidence of the god or a sensible justification for the gods position

non religious explanations that that make sense have yet to appear either

ssm how about that since being bale to may someone of the same gender is relatively new and their marriages meet all the requmrtns we have for 2 people to get hitched

still a marriage jus like interracial marriage is and was even when it was newly legal in places

you are trying to attack equal rights with your claims that same sex marriage is not a marriage so ya that would be against the agenda of lots of people hetero and homosexual
 
I might believe you except for the the actual real world experiences I've had in my own family.

what experiences show the captain to be wrong about nay of his claims in that post?

People don't find "separate but equal" to be a palatable option, no. Marriage isn't your word, you don't get to decide other people can't use it.
