Gay Marriage leads to Animal Marriage??? - Page 2

I knew that, I was just testing you, yeah, thats it, except that I'm lying... I really need to work on that whole "understanding what other people are talking about" thing.

In any case, I agree with the suggestion that you could change the legal name of marriage to "civil union" and leave the actual marriage thing to the religious folk, or those who pretend to be because its socially acceptable, or pretty much all straight couples, but what if a gay couple wanted to attach a religious significance to their union? it seems a highly logical thing to do, practically everyone in the worls has some sort of faith, and marriage is deeply tied to most faiths. So in reality there would only be one distinction between Straight and gay couples, the ability to reproduce, and even that isn't much of a problem with the number of children up for adoption, a family that can never have its own children seems like it would help those kids out. So the only roadblock is one of worlwide anti homosexual programming derived from religious teachings which were engineered to ensure the human race could survive its own stupidity and ignorance. It seems a shame that ignorance is still here, but I suppose if we left it behind we'd have no need for religion, can't have that now can we?

makes no sense does it? sorry for being incoherent, just pissed off.

Changing its legal name wouldn't really bother me, but I can't help thinking that it could be taken to mean abandonning marriage to a religion in particular, especially since I think I remember hearing it was a civil institution before it was monopolised by the church in the twelfth century, in Europe.

But then I remember it's now mostly a bureaucratic/financial tool, what with those most concerned with it being diamond peddlers and governments.

(I think this post doesn't make sense, but I can't put my finger on why)

Why isn't this in the Discussion forum? That and I think Mash might close this one, it's been done so many times already. Oh well, you all know how I feel. Remember! Show your pride June 26-27! Gotta love the SF man

This is too bizarre for discussion. O_o

Its so strange, because Bush is trying to pass a law that will make it a felony for a person to marry a gay couple. Not the gay couple being married, but the person marrying the gay couple.

You know, thats funny, because a felony in my book would count as something like, rape, or murder... Or something thats ACTUALLY FUCKING WRONG??? Bush needs to die. -.-

Here's an idea... Why not make a religion in which gay marriage is acceptable? Find some poor old guy and tell him to say publicly that God came to him in a dream and said that he should make a religion in which gay marriage is acceptable. Then do it, and...yeah.

why are rape and murder wrong? well, maybe because if they run rampant they ruin the society? the entire outrage over gay marriages isn't over penis to butt secks, its about the protection of the family unit, which, until recently, was the support and pillar of most western ways of life. i.e. the society. why is it that no one actually disputes that (its highly disputable and defendable) instead of harping on about religion?

There cant be a family unit if the parents are of the same gender? Is that what you mean?

People care about religion too much. Besides if God should be all that they say, wouldn't he/she/it aprove gay marriages too?

you try having kids with a set of equipment that doesn't match.

edit: isn't this supposed to be about animal marriage? they do that in hinduism to prevent curses.

edit again: so what's so wrong about being married to an animal?
