Again, extralegal =/= illegal. All Santorum wants to do is prevent the federal government from recognizing gay marriage. That's also all Ron Paul wants. Their reasons may be different but again, it is a distinction without a difference because the end result is the same. And the most dangerous religion at the moment is quite clearly secular progressivism. At least traditional religions are based on faith in spite of a lack of evidence, whereas progressivism demands faith in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary. For example, your implication that the Department of Education is worth one single shit. It is not, and the billions and billions it spends every year are a complete waste. |
No, Santorum wants an Amendment to the Constitution that would forbid gay marriage in America. I think you're splitting hairs on the legal / illegal semantics. Could gays be married if Santorum had his way? No. Would they receive the ammenities of being married? No. Would the marriages that there are now be broken up? Yes. So, whether they're illegal or whatever, they wouldn't exist. Therefore, since there's nothing particular sacred about marriage anyway, since that's just a myth, gays would still be being denied a right that everybody else has in the supposed freest nation on earth.
There's certainly not any moutains of evidence for anything any of the religionists claim: Everything from the age of the earth, to the earth's position in the universe, to the who wrote the Bible and when has been thoroughly disproven by mainstream academia.
How do you think all of the poor people from rural and inner city areas would receive proper educations without the Department of Education?
