1.)Obviously you would not be forced to accept it in your own mind. But as you yourself stated, one would be forced to accept it legally. Which I find at least somewhat unacceptable.
And your example comparisons are not valid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) If all legal marriages are called the same thing, it is obviously not a "different name", and quite the opposite of discrimination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.)As to the legal name usage having no effect…That is obviously BS. If the legal usage of the term “marriage” had no effect, no one would care about gay marriage.
It is partially because people consider the very term “marriage” to be sacred that there IS such debate over it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.)The "LAW" is doing what now?
And what are you ranting about?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 WTF??? I thought I had specifically stated that I would NOT stop others from having equal rights. In fact my suggestion was one of equal rights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

First, this is not based on my religion, as I don't really have one.
Second, I never suggested naming gay marriage something different, which is what you seem to think I suggested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.) There are currently two types of marriage.
Both are intertwined to an extent, and even if you renamed the legal part, they would still be intertwined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never suggested that any religious right to marry would be effected.
Any law doing so would quickly be struck down as unconstitutional.
I was simply stating fact.
I never said religion would change. Did I?
Please point out where.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Legal does not matter to the religion has it doesnt change anything. People already have to accept things that are legal or not illegal they dont agree with so thats pointless. Like I said theres lot of things that religions or morals arent for or are against and they are not laws or illegal LOL
my example was very spot on Making gay marriage legal affect NO ONE in reality and is the fair and non-discriminative thing to do
2.) oh so only NOW we are going to change the name because of gays, yeah no discrimination in that at all LMAO. Maybe if this was tried BEFORE gay marriage was an issue but its too late now
3.) its not BS at all its FACT, people holding a word sacred is meaningless in this debate because
they could still do that LMAO they hold it sacred based on RELIGION not how the state views it so their RELIGION for change there fore that sacredness wouldn't either that BS. There are many things the state views different than religion but it didnt all of a sudden become or make them UN-SACRED to religon lol like i said pure unsupported propaganda. Did the state doing divorce all of sudden make marriage un-sacred in everybody views and opinions? nothing the stat does can change the values of religion in REALITY.
4.) you said "if a law dictates that the word "marriage", in legal usage, is redefined as including same-sex unions, it could and probably will (if such is enacted) be argued as a violation of the US constitution."
i said the law does that now, not with gay marriage but with marriage period all it, is a contract and the sate already doesnt see the rules of marriage some religions have. So NO it will no be a violation of the constitution because the religions still get to do what they want
5.) as long as from now on they call it a NEW name LOL
6.) you just magically want it changed now lol it was ok all these years to be called marriage but not anymore if gays are going to be allowed to do it unless of course you have always thought this way
7.) nope there is in fact only ONE kind of marriage recognized by state anything else above that is SECONDARY sorry they are NOT intertwined at all because only one is seen by state and religion is free to see what ever they want
8.) you made the statement "Religious marriage is a right, as part of the right to freedom of religion." and "it’s (gay marriage) the forcing of exception through legal means that is the issue I see here"
so if you didnt think religion would change why make that statement, with gay marriage religious marriage would still be a right and freedom of religion would still exist or were you just reminding me? sorry if i misunderstood but why make the statement
also there still would be NO forcing of anything what so ever on religion or people
