But faith does help determine how reality develops through the minds of those who bear it and the actions it elicits.

That doesn't make it a good thing. It's just living in a fantasy world and ignoring reality because it's emotionally inconvenient.
 
Poking poopers and playing house does not a marriage make.


God don't need to come down from on high to give this revelation.
 
marriage has been between a man an a woman for over a thousand yrs,and now we have a supreme court making law,it is time for the court judges to be elected just like the president every 4 yrs,the people have no voice and the court can run all over our rights.

Maybe, maybe not. I'd bet there were politicians who exaggerated their faith for personal gain.

The reality is that faith helps to feedback into reality whether it is accurate or not.

When two people vow to uphold the bond of marriage with one another, that does a marriage make.

God plays no necessary role. If your God punishes you because you two other people get married, then your God is an unjust asshole.

No; it hasn't.

Same-sex Civil Marriage happened in many States, based on State action, PRIOR to the Obergefel ruling.

The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting one woman and one man dates from about 2350 B.C., in Mesopotamia.
try google some times before you expose your bias.
 
was that over a thousand yer ago,no. The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting one woman and one man dates from about 2350 B.C., in Mesopotamia.

I'm absolutely sure there are, but they're just lying to the public. You know how you can tell if a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.

But no, the reality doesn't help to feedback into reality, it helps to conflate reality with fantasy. It gives a faulty impression of reality. People who believe things that aren't factually true are simply wrong, period. If you take drugs and see hallucinations, that doesn't make those hallucinations part of your reality, you've just messed up your brain and are now seeing things that just aren't there.

That's because God is imaginary and anyone who believes in a god is an idiot.

Behavior that results from hallucinations is part of reality.

The behavior is but the hallucinations are not. And behavior that results from hallucinations is not rational.

It has been between all sorts of pairings and had many restrictions included and removed over many thousands of years. Appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy "this is how it has been so that should mean that how is how it should be" is highly illogical.
 
marriage has been between a man an a woman for over a thousand yrs,

Wrong. This is nothing more than an attempted Appeal to Tradition.

it is time for the court judges to be elected just like the president every 4 yrs,the people have no voice and the court can run all over our rights.

Horrible idea. That is the first step to tyranny of the majority. The people already have a voice... that voice is their votes towards Congress.

Horse manure.

God's been slowly turning up the heat on America for some time now, and like a toad in tepid water, you can't see it. But stick around, it's going to get even more interesting, until the point where you'll want to hide in a cave. That's assuming God gives you some more time on His earth to see it.

Why is God such a *****? Why doesn't he just do what is best for his little game and be done with it?
 
Then why aren't three or more people in love an even more beautiful thing? Don't we need even more of that in the world? If displays of homosexual passion are wonderful, why aren't they even more wonderful when they involve several people, maybe of both sexes, in various combinations? And why isn't incestuous homosexual polyamory or polygamy, possibly involving different generations, more beautiful and wonderful yet? Just imagine all the wonder and beauty a father would be exposed to if he took his son to a baseball game, and a group of that kind were seated right in front of them, passionately tonguing and fondling each other!

Runner said nothing about sexual acts in front of children... my God man, you should be embarrased.
 
Yes I do, gays need to be tolerant just like everyone else.

Oh, is "everyone else" tolerant in your opinion? :lol:

Clearly you aren't married. Any married person knows that marriage isn't about sex.
 
No, reality is the same for everyone. One's perception may or may not be accurate to what reality actually is. Someone who hears voices in their head, that's not their reality, they're insane.

No, one responds to their own perceptions as being consistent with their own reality. And hearing voices is not what we are discussing.
 
That doesn't make it a good thing. It's just living in a fantasy world and ignoring reality because it's emotionally inconvenient.

It doesn't make it a good or a bad thing. It's what one makes of it.
 
That's because God is imaginary and anyone who believes in a god is an idiot.

That's your opinion, nothing more. Valueless if you are trying to use it as a fact. Oh, and anyone who automatically dismisses something without evidence of that dismissal is also an idiot.
 
You don't get to decide for others what their marriage is about.

I do get to speak on what marriage is. Which is what I did.

When two people vow to uphold the bond of marriage with one another, that does a marriage make.

God plays no necessary role. If your God punishes you because you two other people get married, then your God is an unjust asshole.

Nope.
Don't know who the flying freckles you think you are speaking on God's role, or speaking to my God since you don't know your asshole from elbow in His regard.

That's because God is imaginary and anyone who believes in a god is an idiot.

Yes, and I enjoy you spending so much time and energy refuting His existence. Marvelous use of your time. I think people who rail on about things they claim are non existent are idiots. Don't see people bray like an ass about there not being any Rainbow Unicorns that **** golden nuggets... Why? Because they don't exist. Funny, atheists haven't figured this out yet...

Clearly you aren't married. Any married person knows that marriage isn't about sex.

10 years (14 together) come October. It is a component, yes, if you were married Mr. Make an Ass of U and Ming than you would know this. It isn't the only thing but it is a component.
