Then why can atheists get married?
They go to a JotP or have a friend get "ordained" for $5.95 off the internet, not a church.

We have become civilized, more or less, most of us...
Marriage is but a religious institution, with the state making it official. As such, the homosexuals will have to pipe down or do something different (state unions ?)

The "slippery slope" is what I have a problem with, and I think it's a big problem. Those who demand gay marriage need to explain why marriage would not be appropriate for other sexual pattern adults who would wish to enter into them. If gay marriage is to be allowed why not polygamy, incest, and you know the rest. I feel this is a legitimate question, so don't jump me for it. :mrgreen:
They used this fallacy against interracial marriage.
Ooh, and they were right, because look: now gays wanna get married too. What's next, poor people wanting to get married? The infertile wanting to get married? Jeez, where do we draw the line??
I draw it at left handed people. They are trying to take over the world. They must be stopped.
Left-handed United States Presidents
Dang there go my dreams of marrying my coffee machine I'm left handed
Me, too.
Jerry, too.
Don't know about anybody else on the forum.

My niece is.
It's rare for females.
Approximately 10% of males are left-handed. Only 1% of females are.

I am too, theoretically anyhow, although over the years I've learned how to be largely ambidextrous.

They said interracial marriage would lead to men marrying men, and we know that that would never happen. I mean the very notion that Loving could be twisted into supporting something as outlandish as 2 men or 2 women marrying...it's absurd! The idea that interracial marriage could in any way open the door to same-sex marriage is a textbook Slippery-Slope indeed.
Oh wait, that's actually happening now, never mind.

This is completely off topic here, but that comment interests me. I work at Macca's, and we have about 100 employees, and at least 25 of them are left handed - most females. What are the odds of that?:shock:

But.. you aren't really commenting on what I asked. I was wanting to see what some think will happen to the polygamists, incest, that sort of thing. Why will they not want in the door as well, and why would it be right/wrong to let them in.
Since gays are not hetro why do they insist on adopting the word "marriage"? Why not make up a name for their unity and stay with it?
