Show me one thing I have said to suggest I'm any of these? I wouldn't expect much more from a lot of people for it. - Disregard arguments against them - Insult opposition

*antagonises opposition *gives completely inaccurate statement* *belittles and insults opponent* whether it can or will change is irrelevant, its whether it should. #stayrelevantcuz

Precisely. The marital relationship exists for a man to seek a woman and vice versa. That's it. If you do not fulfill these requirements then move along. How can you compare those to voting? Not the same. Anyone can technically vote, but the law restricted certain people. However, not...

You're missing this point. You see every reason the "for same-sex marriage" people use, can be applied to any other couple, or group of people. In future marriage will only become redundant once you separate it from its purpose.

How dare someone refuse me the right to publicly declare my relationship to my brother? Not to mention all the legal problems arising when one of us dies because siblings are not recognised like married couples. Plus all those tax benefits we can't receive :/

Hold on why only extend it to same-sex couples? what about thruples (or triads), what about me and my brother mentioned in the post above? What principle are you appealing to so as ONLY to extend it to same-sex couples?

No it doesn't exclude anyone. Anyone get married. If you're a man, you can marry a woman, and if you're a woman you can marry a man. The institution's existence is based on procreation (refer to "matrimony" above) and the granting of both parents for any children born. So to enter a marital...

Thats because marriage has already been redefined 40 years ago with the introduction of no-fault divorce. But people's misuse or lack of commitment to marriage is no reason to allow its misuse by another group. The government no allowing same-sex marriage is not them trying to stop people...

The purpose of the institution of marriage is to unite one man and one woman as one (through physical complementarity) in order to produce a child, such that every child has a father and a mother. Now while not all parents have children, under ideal marriage, every child has a father and mother...

This belief that marriage is about two people who love each other is incorrect. While love plays a part, its not the sole/most significant factor. If it was then why would the government regulate it?

Unless they're Catholic. In that case the Church "infallibly" states certain things and you believe it or you don't. If you don't you're not really Catholic. So any two devout Catholics actually believe the same thing. I guess your point is that Catholicism has "its own version" though.

So it begs the question as to why government regulates marriage. Why the hell does the government care about people's love life? Hmm maybe they don't.... ? lol

To not desire God does not imply rejection of Him. God is not a means of understanding how the universe works. Never has been. It's common belief that God and religion is just a gap filler until we learn everything. There are some gaps science can't fill, nor does it try too. And that is the...

Human nature is not defined as sin, but as humans we have a temptation and potential to sin. I've said it too many times now, the thought is not the sin, its how you act on that thought. You cannot be judged on feelings beyond your control, whether good or bad. But the thing is, there comes a...

Bro did you even read what I said? First of all, anyone who has a sexual fantasy over anyone else (homo or not) is considered to be sinning. Yes its that's "crazy". Secondly, I never said you be sorry for being homosexual or for having temptations to sin. I said you have to be sorry for actual...

Well in Catholicism, generally the idea is that God wills everyone to be saved, and he has a plan for all those willing to take it. In the Catechism it says: "God predestines no one to go to hell, for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until...

Homosexuality is not a sin. When I say homosexuality I mean the attraction one has to the opposite sex. The attraction is considered a temptation to sin. Just as one might have a temptation to do anything wrong. It would be awfully unjust for one to be considered a sinner because they have...

Well actually people can be homosexual, and they can have same-sex relations, and they can murder, and they can be nice people, and they can be atheists, or theists. People can do what ever they want. That's the point of free will. But from the perspective of Catholicism, the idea to choose God...

People who believe in God are not searching for a 'how'. But rather a 'why'. Science will never explain 'why'. And in terms of the validity of asking 'why', that's the difference between theists and atheists.

That's the question for theists, which is the one true religion, if it exists yet.
