| mesoteto said: i am not claiming Christianity is the only one responsible for marriage the idea of marriage has been around and been called many different things however what is being sought here isn't the ideal its the actual act of marriage developed by the various faiths, you cant seem to separate that fact it does boil down to my original point, give them the same legal rights as the marriage of a man and woman get but reserve marriage for those willing to do it before god in some form or another |
So why can atheists marry?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
i just looked at the ballot measures and it looks like 3 states arizona california and florida have banned gay marriage. Now only 2 states in the US allow gay marriage from the 3 it used to be. so sad.
last election 11 states banned gay marriage.

b/c they can fall into teh crack of a man and a woman
i dont agree with that situation either but since we cant read minds there is never really anyway to stop this
It's legal here. For myself, despite my religious beliefs I think the state should allow gay couples to marry. But churches of all religions should have the right to choose not to perform those ceromonies.
But if they want a judge to marry them in City Hall or at a resort or such, go ahead. Be merry. Find out what it's like to have your partner screw you over in divorce court. Why save that pleasure just for hetrosexuals?

... and her inability to produce a male heir was the reason she was considered to be an unfit wife.
A large portion of what we now understand about reproduction demonstrate that the "Traditional" definition of marriage may be obsolete, but the "Romantic" definition of marriage is also far from ideal. Personally, I'm for the elimination of a legal definition of marriage because most of the rights and responsibilities that come from marriage no longer require a marriage and people generally define their relationship on their own terms anyways.

And that's your guys' problem. Two gays getting married takes nothing away from you. For some reason you think it does.
i don't have a problem just a difference of opinion just like i don't see you having a problem for wanting what you do

This is why Henry VIII considered her an unfit wife but that argument would not have been enough to convince the Church to declare the marriage void. They used the fact that she was married to Henry's brother before him to declare she was not a virgin before the marriage to Henry (a fact she has always denied). That was the official reason the marriage was declared void.
As for the rest of your point, I agree with the fact that people define their own relationship nowadays. I just wanted to set some history points straight.
