If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

Well, firstly marriage is a comunion between two people, who take an oath before God, usually performed by a Priest/Pastor/Vicar or whatever. So how can you ask people to argue against gay marriage without mentioning religion? Now you could say it doesnt have to be performed as such, but if its not would the marriage be recognised as such?

 

 

just because some people do that, doesnt mean thats what marriage is.   if i take your hat and feed it to a goat and then say hats are goat food why would anyone want to wear them on their head... does that really make it goat food?

You got half my point.

 

Your goat analogy doesnt work, as most wouldnt recognise it as 'Goat food' which is my point. Marriage shouldnt be about two people pledging an oath before god and signing a bit of paper at the end of it. But people wouldnt recognise it as marriage by law if thats not how it was done.

except you seem to recognize if as something which it isnt (regardless of whether you feel it should or shouldnt be)  just because some people have done it that way.   essentially you are recognizing the hat as solely goat food saying that you think people should be able to wear hats on their head.
