Trust me, you aren't worth hating. I wouldn't waste the energy. :roll:
Trust me, you do hate.

Why is it that liberals want to make the abnormal normal?
Trust me, you do hate.
Always playing the victim card. Oh those liberals are trying to PUSH THEIR AGENDA ON ME (their agenda of granting people freedom that would in no way affect me) THIS IS AN ATTACK ON ME PERSONALLY!
What I feel is amused that people who claim to be more intelligent than their opposition, more enlightened, are the first to judge and stereotype.
That's just silly. Read the posts. I didn't judge his worth or make any stereotypical assumptions on his thoughts or actions. Further, I don't feel victimized because someone on the internet hates me.

It's amusing, really, just like your unjustified and rather senseless poke from left field.

You intuitively accept a religious doctrine as absolute
and expect others to do the same.
I'm sorry you don't get to feel all special and enlightened.
It was more of a general commentary on the conservative religious types who see other people getting married as somehow an attack on their beliefs.

What, like drinking cow's milk?
This is ironic.
No, it's not Ironic. Deuce claimed he was a liberal by accusing me of feeling victimized by them. I made no assumption.
no, I do not.
no, I do not.
I don't need to. My point is you do...and aren't.
1. You were 'amused' by people who stereotype (meaning Deuce).
2. Then you used a quote against him that stereotyped all liberals.
That's pretty ironic.
Sure. Uh huh. :roll:
Now are you done bitching? Can we get back to the thread?
Maryland failed to pass gay marriage this year because of the mobilization of a bunch of conformist, black church goers. Typical conformists who feel that their intutively accepted interpretation of religous doctrine is absolute and everyone else has to comply with it. And like typical conformists, they don't have their own ideas, they simply regurgitated the talking points passed down by their church to their delegates in mass. No real logical or evidence based rational went into this denial of equal rights to gay families. And of course, good ol mac couldn't wait to celebrate by posting about it.
I would imagine those delegates represented like minded people (however you'd like to paint their mindset) and did their job, which is to represent the people that pay them.
I know what you're trying to say, but why is drinking cows milk any more abnormal than eating the cow?
Because cow's milk is supposed to be food for for baby cows, not humans.
In fact, a great many things we would consider abnormal today were considered quite normal in the past.
It's important to remember that what one perosn considers normal was probably abnormal at one point, and could be considered abnormal in teh future as well.
The whole normal argument is pointless, whether or not you think it's normal or not, doesn't mean that is enough reason to deny LGBT equal protection. Not being normal, isn't due process.
It's important to remember not everything abnormal, by nature of it being abnormal, will one day be normal.
Normal.
Natural.
Biological.
etc.
All of these are pointless when discussing the morality of homosexuality.
Unless you are mac, and you have a special definition which you refuse to share with anyone. :roll:
Morally I fail to see how homosexuality could be a moral, or immoral thing. I mean, it's just an attraction to the same sex, your not harming anyone. I don't see homosexuality in the moral/immoral dichotomy, it's just a state of being.
