Should the United States Embrace Gay Marriage

For my rebuttal arguments, I would like to make it clear seeing as my opponent has missed the point that I was trying to make. The point that I was trying to make which I put in brackets was the in Genesis 4:19 it claims to allow polygamy which as I was saying that it contradicts with the relationship between one man and one woman if you were paying attention. The point that I'm trying to make here is that if the bible is contradictory towards it's definition, how reliable than is they're definition? We can bounce bible verses all day and we would still be in the same place that we are now. Verses contradicting each other Therefore the religious opinions of GCL should not be taken seriously(which should never have been in the first place). You are Incorrect GCL. This is not a debate homosexuality but rather a debate about Gay Marriage. There is a difference. If you were actually paying attention towards the whole debate, you would realize that this is not about a gay person just wanting attention but this a person, a human being who just wants to be like everyone else. Whether or gay,lesbian, black, Hispanic, poor, doesn't matter. We are all entitled to these rights and yes GCL, I did use scripture in context, you just didn't choose to think about how the that verse could relate. Again, the definition of marriage predates your opinion of what marriage means. GCL claims to know that "The Point of Marriage is to procreate". It doesn't matter what you believe, what matters are the facts. For example, I could say in my opinion but that wouldn't be honest with the facts. Therefore, I can't take what my opinion is and claim it to be fact. When you say "Pretend" in regards to those who are gay/lesbian, I have the feeling now that you like most republicans think that being gay is a choice. This is rhetorical nonsense. If this was true, than we wouldn't have any gay republicans coming out of the closet. (1) I'm going to move on to the points that do matter in this debate but first I'm going to be disturbingly straight up with you by saying the idea of someone thinking that being gay is a choice is not only ignorant but also insulting. I'm fascinated about how stupid this sounds and degrading to those who are just trying to get the things that everybody else wants. No, I got your point GCL and again, it's not a matter of your moral system because the moral system that your preaching is Christianity. Islam is also a religion that claims that homosexuality is wrong but also claims that theirs is the right belief? Do you see where I'm going with this? Religion has nothing valid to say in the debate. The reason this is the case is because we don't know if a God Exists and me being an Agnostic Atheist, I'm comfortable with saying that. We as a species cannot wait for any invisible big brother figure while we demand human rights now because at least with human rights, it's a materialistic need that everyone needs, not wants, needs. This is what the majority of gay people need in order to be like everyone else. Let me explain how Christianity is controlling Gay Marriage. The catholic church has a huge influence in the far right wing of politics. This is obvious. By using Christian Ideology, they are forcing the beliefs of others by banning Gay Marriage even on the civil level or even churches that do allow gay marriage in their congregation but decide to ban. How is this in any sense democratic? It isn't. Now how exactly is homosexuality "Controlling" straight people. That's what I want to know. I've already mentioned the fact that getting married is not infringing on your personal right to get married so I won't harp on that. What else is there? Ladies and Gentlemen, I've said in my first arguments that the bible is what is separating us from loving one another and treating everyone equal. After reading both sides, I'm sure you can agree that that is what I meant and you understand the grasp of the situation. From what I see in GCL, I genuinely see unintentional hatred for the LGBT community. Her entire arguments have seemed like she was disgusted by saying and I quote "how natural do you believe it to be right for "homosexuals" to be united in marriage? Her arguments in this debate have been too vague to prove an actual point. She tries to take the phrase "Common Sense" and then applies it to her religion when in reality, it makes no sense because homosexuality has been normal throughout the history of the animal kingdom. I know you only listen to gospel music as your profile says but I would really like you to check out the YouTube video that's in the references down below. That's it for my closing statements, As I've mentioned to GCL that she is not allowed to rebuttal the arguments that I've mentioned in this round but is allowed to use arguments from round 2. Only closing statements, thank you. References (1) http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com... (2) http://www.youtube.com...
