I didn't feel like reading 76 pages but here is my opinion.
If marriage is a religious thing, then the gov't should have no part in it. But some churches are willing to except gay marriage so shouldn't it be based on which church the people go to. So if they church they go to allows it, the gov't shouldn't be allowed to say they can't get married. Also, two atheists in this country can get married.
The argument that two men would get married just for the benefit of saving money is ignorant. It's implying a man and a women wouldn't do the same.
I would like to hear an argument against gay marriage that doesn't involve religion or exploitation.
What do you mean by a religious thing? Because churches normally marry people?
No. Marriage is meant to be between, and only between a man and a woman. Homosexuals are disgraces to all of the morals of America.
A lot of people feel like you do on the issue..........That is why no matter what DD says there will never be gay marriage in this country.....I am ardently against gay marriage but not for the reasons you are......
Please give specific morals that you feel Homosexuals are "disagracing"
No. Marriage is meant to be between, and only between a man and a woman. Homosexuals are disgraces to all of the morals of America.
Okay, so how about it we call it "civil unions" when it's homosexuals? Would that appease you?
-this could be interesting
If I called a pile of cow **** a t-bone steak would you eat it? After all I called it something different.Therefore by your logic and every closet gay marriage supporter and sucker, calling something by another name must make it different.

I was being sarcastic. And comparing cow **** to gay marriae? That's simply intolerance.
I was not comparing "gay marriae" to cow ****, I was merely pointing out how calling something by another name does not change what it is as so many closet gay marriage supporters and suckers would have people believe..

It seemed pretty clear to me that you were comparing any form of government sanctioned same sex relationship to cow ****. Or were you comparing it to t-bone steak? Or was the entire comparison you were trying to draw a load of cow ****?
I wasn't making a comparison of anything but merely pointing out how changing the name of something does not change what it is to someone suggesting that somehow changing the name of marriage will make it different. .Of course I am sure you all know that because I find it hard to believe that you all are really that stupid to not know.
How bout, "a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." :mrgreen:
Most posters already know I do not support gay marriage regardless if the term used is "marriage" or some paper coated or politically correct term for marriage such as "domestic partnership" or "civil union" or some other term is used.It would be easier for you just to say you don't support civil unions or gay marriage because you don't support any government sanctioned same sex relationship.

Most posters probably don't give a turd about you or or views and most certainly wouldn't make an effort to remember. Unless you have a valid argument to make, it isn't worth remembering.
Most people could care less what your reasons are if your reasons do not support what they believe. Its why you constantly post truffer threads.For or against gay marriage, who cares what your opinion is if you don't have a valid argument to make one way or the other? That is what a debate forum is about. Not to preach, but to prove your views are based in reason.
I am sure most posters remember your wacko truffer threads,but your arguments are not valid nor are they worth any effort to read.So whats your point?

So james, I was trying to figure out what you meant by "closet gay marriage supporters" and I'm really not sure. Is it...I was not comparing "gay marriae" to cow ****, I was merely pointing out how calling something by another name does not change what it is as so many closet gay marriage supporters and suckers would have people believe..
Maybe james is suggesting that all supporters of gay marriage are themselves gay, but in the closet. This would spring from the idea that no one supports anything except from a very close, immediate sense of self-interest.So james, I was trying to figure out what you meant by "closet gay marriage supporters" and I'm really not sure. Is it...
People who support gay marriage covertly?
People who support marriage for closet gays?
People who support gay marriage ceremonies being conducted in closets?
Or is it something else entirely?
Yeah, I should have thought of that possibility, but it's just such a dumb concept it didn't even occur to me. I do hope that isn't what he meant.Maybe james is suggesting that all supporters of gay marriage are themselves gay, but in the closet. This would spring from the idea that no one supports anything except from a very close, immediate sense of self-interest.

Wow, that would be weird. According to this poll, 42% of Americans support gay marriage. Lots and lots of closeted gays out there.
