Gay marriage

kids that a raised by gay parents often grow up that way. Will lead inexorably to polygamy and other alternatives to one-man, one-woman unions. "- You haven't supported this. "The ACLU of Utah has actually suggested that the state will "have to step up to prove that a polygamous relationship is detrimental to society"-as opposed to the polygamists having to prove that plural marriage is not harmful to the culture. Do you see how the game is played? Despite 5,000 years of history, the burden now rests on you and me to prove that polygamy is unhealthy. "- Polygamy doesn't have to do with gay marriage. Being raised by gays doesn't support polygamy. "Why will gay marriage set the table for polygamy? Because there is no place to stop once that Rubicon has been crossed. "- This is an unsupported assertion. As if people will all accept gays and every other romantic idea when gay marriage is legalized. Even if it is, there will be people like you who oppose it very greatly and keep that idea going. "After the introduction of marriage between homosexuals, however, it will be supported by nothing more substantial than the opinion of a single judge or by a black-robed panel of justices. After they have done their wretched work, the family will consist of little more than someone's interpretation of "rights. ""- I'm not quite sure what exactly you are trying to say here but families are not made by rights. Families are made by the people and how they love and treat each other. Gay marriage being legalized won't change that. "Given that unstable legal climate, it is certain that some self-possessed judge, somewhere, will soon rule that three men and one woman can marry. Or five and two, or four and four. "- So what? That is not the norm and I doubt it will be. They have nothing to do with you, so why should you decide who they can marry? Being gay is natural as I have shown previously. Polygamy is not. "How about group marriage, or marriage between relatives, or marriage between adults and children? How about marriage between a man and his donkey? "- Ugh. I already addressed this. Incestuous people will be shunned I bet. I doubt that will ever be the norm. There are many many less incestuous people than there are gays. Adults and children won't be legalized because you can't marry until you are an adult under the law anyway. A donkey can't say "I do", not to mention that neither children nor animals can love like adults can. "The legal underpinnings for marriage will have been destroyed. An even greater objective of the homosexual movement is to end the state's compelling interest in marital relationships altogether. After marriages have been redefined, divorces will be obtained instantly, will not involve a court, and will take on the status of a driver's license or a hunting permit. "- So what? The meaningfulness of your marriage isn't determined by the law or how easy it is to get married or unmarried. "With the legalization of homosexual marriage, every public school in the nation will be required to teach that this perversion is the moral equivalent of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. "- Schools don't teach about morality and marriage anyway. This is a very unsubstantiated assertion lol. "How about the impact on Social Security if there are millions of new dependents that will be entitled to survivor benefits? It will amount to billions of dollars on an already overburdened system. "- And we should leave them out because it costs us money? As if they are less deserving of these rights than the rest of us? ! Surely this is not moral or just. "And how about the cost to American businesses? Unproductive costs mean fewer jobs for those who need them. Are state and municipal governments to be required to raise taxes substantially to provide health insurance and other benefits to millions of new "spouses and other dependents"? "- Business are already in surplus in this recession! We don't have to worry about them. "Marriage among homosexuals will spread throughout the world"- So? It's already legal in many places around the world. "just as pornography did after the Nixon Commission declared obscene material "beneficial" to mankind"- Actually it is in many ways as long as the people involved are all consenting and above the age of consent. "America continues to be the fountainhead of filth and immorality, and its influence is global. "- Sure, but gayness is not filthy or immoral. What is filthy and immoral is others discrimination towards minorities and denying them legal benefits. "the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be severely curtailed. "- Um no, this is definitely not true. People will still be opposed to gays and try to convert people. Christianity will remain strong no matter what happens with gay marriage. "Its most important assignment has been the propagation of the human race and the handing down of the faith to our children. "- Wanna debate this? "Instead of providing for a father and mother, the advent of homosexual marriage will create millions of motherless children and fatherless kids. "- This is unsubstantiated and I doubt there would be any more than there are already. "Are we now going to join the Netherlands and Belgium to become the third country in the history of the world to "normalize" and legalize behavior that has been prohibited by God himself? Heaven help us if we do! "- Aieee. You know God also says slavery is ok according to the Bible? Well, this debate has been interesting. I can't even congratulate my opponent on a good debate because frankly I don't think he did an adequate job. Most of his posts were evangelic rants against gay marriage stuffed with unsubstantiated assertions. Even if you are against gay marriage, my opponent did not once respond to what I said.
