Actually, your argument is justified based on yours (who is fallable) and other mortal men's (who are fallable) interpritation of what they believe god stated through the recollection of other mortal men (who were fallable). As such, said justification only truly works with regards to others that employee your same interpritation of the same set of words to meaning the same thing. Additionally, while what you believe god thinks is perfectly fine as a justification for why you vote a certain way or why you propose a certain law personally, ultimately "because god doesn't like it" is not a justification in any way for allowing a law that is unconstitutional. At least not in any kind of legal sense. You may feel it MORALLY justifies it, but that...frankly...is irrelevant.
I as an American citizen can certainly force what I want as far as laws go any way I wish. That is what our court system is for.
SO no nothing has been "debunked" no matter how much you rant about it. :lol:
like i said that has been thoroughly debunked because it can easily be argued anti-american and hypocritical. YOUR god has no business in other peoples affairs as far as AMERICA is concerned LOL
How fast you would change your tune if somebody wanted to infringe on your religion.
You should THANK your god you live in america and are free to believe in him. Thank your god that someone like me would fight for YOUR right to do so while you dont care about others.
In short, your desire to force theocracy is nothing short of tyranny and the very reason why the rest of us have guns.
Hehehehehehehe! Talk about over the top nonsense.
It's not nonsense when you want to subjugate me to the rules of your god.
The divorce of people I will never meet has and likely will again directly harm me through the communal cost of divorce and the resulting juvenile crime rate. That makes it my business.
No I don't. I want you to respect the fact I don't want marriage redefined. The reasons I don't want it redefined are irrelevant.
Yes saying I want "theocracy" etc is very much over the top.
No. You should thank God I did serve my country so ignorant asses could say what they want.
You have not protected me from anything. You disgust me.
She doesn't realize that without Christian principals ruling this country, she would be wearing a burka.
View her slander and contempt as her enjoying the gift you helped provide with your service.
I think that perhaps that's a bit of a stretch. And even if it were true, I'd take that as a consequence of freedom. I don't see how the government can force people to marry or not marry. It needs to be an individual decision; and whatever comes of that is just a consequence of freedom. We can make similar arguments about all rights in general. They're dangerous, because people are free and the system is reactive, someone will take advantage. We have to pay the costs of the crime, of rising insurance (if it were called into play by said crime), of the judicial system, of housing prisoners, etc. But in the end, that's part of the consequences of choosing freedom over Big Brother. We're necessarily going to have a more dangerous situation, one which we may have to pay a bit more into, deal with a bit more crime, etc. But it's better than the alternative. I don't want people's expectation of social engineering enforced through law. Or if we do, it will be MY social engineering. I am negatively impacted by idiots all the time, be it on the road, their poor decisions which lead to legislative, procedural changes or crimes, etc. It's my business. Thus all stupid people (as defined by me) should be castrated as to prevent future stupid people from being in my way. I like it!
Oh, so when the Harm Principal applies and is breached, the justification is "consider it the cost of freedom".
Very good, then, I don't care that gays are being needlessly harmed by anti-GM legislation, consider it the cost of freedom.
Why the hell would I wear a burka? I'm atheist...and a man, man. We don't have to dress up in silly cloths or not eat pork (which, BTW, is how I define a religion to be wrong. If you forbid to consumption of pork, your religion is wrong).
Yours is a cost of tyranny. I didn't say that we don't police wrong doing or let criminals go. It's that we can't control people and bad things will happen; and when they do we can enact government force, but not before hand. That's a cost of freedom. The oppression of a certain sect of society through government force because they go against some religious teaching is a cost of tyranny.
Right, right, because even though gay relations are strictly against Christian texts, here I am, a Christian, on this thread ready to give support to legislation which allowed gay marriage. Sure, whatever.

Really the founders thoughts on rights came from a more humanist perspective, that we have rights simply because we are human.
It's not nonsense when you want to subjugate me to the rules of your god.
That's right, my bad, your arranged wife would be wearing a burka while you would be praying 5 times a day, atheist or no.

my God says no murder. so it's too late; i'm already forcing you to live under His laws
**** that. Praying is a pointless endevour, it gets you nothing. Action gets you places. I wouldn't be sitting around praying all the time, and my wife would be super sexy and wearing a miniskirt all the time. Hehehe
Notice there is no law to keep holy the sabbath day.
Actually, evidence has shown that there are a lot of psychological benefits to praying. It reduces stress and protects against depression. It also gives an opportunity for self reflection.
According to whom? You? The founders would be laughing at you. I don't even have to say anything because that is so stupid.
Sixty-four percent of the American people believe that religion is "under attack," according to a new poll released today by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The poll found that 53 percent of Americans likewise believe that religion as a whole is "losing its influence in American life." - Poll: Americans Believe Religion Is 'Under Attack' -- Majority Says Religion is 'Losing Influence' In American Life
No. You should thank God I did serve my country so ignorant asses could say what they want.
