1. Your opinion is meaningless in every debate. 2. You misspelled "cases". 3. Your lips are moving but nobody understands you. 4. You are the master of opinions. You're also the master of hot air. ;)

1.)its not an opinion, it is a FACT that religion/bible is meaningless to legal marriage, i know you have trouble understandin this fact but facts dont care about your ablity to understand them. My opinion just like yours plays no role in this fact.

2.) and yet nothing changed lol

3.) another deflection and my point is still factual while you have nothing
4.) when i sate my opinion i admit it and acknowledge it thanks

do you have ANYTHING to disprove the facts i pointed out to you? anything?
 
If people have conflicting understandings of the reason for marriage, it is not up to the government to pick one and prohibit the rest. We don't need big brother telling us what our reasons for doing things are and ought to be.
I completely agree. Had the government just kept its Big Brother fingers out of marriage in the first place, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
 
Right. And yes, I was born and raised in America. Do you always try to bludgeon people with empty, useless opinions?

no bludgeoning at all just trying to figure out why you are so uneducated about laws and marriage.
 
1.)its not an opinion
Sure it is. Everything about you is just one big fat question mark.

2.) and yet nothing changed lol
True. You're still a crappy speller, and that will probably never change. ;)

3.) another deflection and my point is still factual while you have nothing
You don't have a point, OJ. You never have a point. Aimlessness is the one consistent feature about you.

4.) when i sate my opinion i admit it and acknowledge it thanks
"State". When I "state my opinion". And no you don't.

do you have ANYTHING to disprove the facts i pointed out to you? anything?
You don't have facts, OJ. Just opinions. Nobody can compete with your imagination.
 
Do you always try to bludgeon people with empty, useless opinions?

Do you feel that if you somehow don't try to prevent SSM - your god will punish you?
Are you in danger of retribution from your god if you don't speak out against SSM?
Will you be at some kind of risk if you just let others live the life they chose to live?

Would you please answer my questions?

4.)do you have ANYTHING to disprove the facts i pointed out to you? anything?

1.) so basically you have ZERO proof that religion matters to legal marriage? thats what i thought
2.) another deflection and nothing honest, logical or relevant to the debate, no shock here
3.) my point is i posted facts and you have not. Religions, Abraham and the bible is meaningless to LEGAL American marriage
4.) yes because one you havent posted any facts and all you have to do is reread the link i posted yesterday when you were proved wrong, no where in getting a legally married does religion or the bible matter.

we will all wait for your proof again since you have factually been proven wrong.

1. You think a lot of things. The problem is that you know very little. 2. More mindless blather on your part. No surprise here. 3. You don't have a point, OJ. How many times must you hear this? 4. You don't have facts, OJ. Just opinions. Nobody can compete with your imagination.
 
jeez. what part of "knock it off" do you two not understand? :lamo

I did knock it off, i stopped engaging him directly and simply addressed his post and nothing else :shrug:
 
Do you know what is the primary risk factor for HIV? Promiscuity. Guess what marriage reduces the rate of? Promiscuity. Being gay is not a risk factor for HIV.

yeah thats what i pointed out also and the fact that marriage would logical probably cut down on promiscuity not increase it.

In one aspect you're right. Screwing one partner will reduce the spread of disease. However, gay marriage and the acceptance of homosexual behavior in general will arguably lead to more gays seeking partners then remaining in the closet.

yet you ignore the following:

many gays in the closet have gay relationships (being in the closet doesnt mean you do not participate in gay relationships/sex)
gays who have protected sex
gays who will marry and be less promiscuous
gays who dont even have anal sex

so what else do you have, you still havent presented any facts or logic that says gay marriage will lead to a dramatic increase in insurance premiums based solely on AIDS, your article does ZERO to support that claim.

Bludgeoning is all you know. There's no such thing as you figuring anything out. It's just get a wild notion stuck in your noggin, and then start swinging a sledgehammer.

SSM is not going to make more people gay. It is going to encourage more stable relationships among gay people. England does not have legal SSM.
 
FACT. The legal definition of marriage coincides with the Bible, which means it coincides with the will of God. Kudos to the definers for getting it right. ;)

We do not have, nor are we going to implement, your form of Sharia law in this country.

No it doesn't because if it did, we wouldn't have divorce except for the case of adultery.

SOrry this is incorrect. it does not because of the following:

there is legal gay/homosexual marriage.
legal marriage is not permanent
legal marriage is not a holy matrimony
legal marriage does not have to happen before the eyes of god
etc etc etc

all of these facts prove your statement to be 100% false

The Bible's Teaching on Marriage and Family
 
No it doesn't because if it did, we wouldn't have divorce except for the case of adultery.

this is correct, the definition of legal marriage does not coincide with the bible
 
We do not have, nor are we going to implement, your form of Sharia law in this country.
