There is a legitimate, rational reason to ban same sex marriage in the United States

Although more than half the states in the United States prohibit homosexual marriage, I disagree that they have a legitimate, rational reason to do so. Pro will have to propose a legitimate, rational reason to prohibit same sex marriage. *DISCLAIMER* Leviticus 18:22 and all other passages from scripture may not be used as legitimate or rational argument. Tautological arguments will not be accepted as rational or legitimate. The purpose of this debate is to find legal or social arguments that show legalizing same sex marriage is irrational. Remember, that what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Debate is 4 rounds: 1. Acceptance and brief opening argument. 2. Short rebuttal to opponent's opening argument and an elaboration on your position. 3. Rebuttals to the elaborated argument, new information can be stated if you wish. 4. Closing statements, no new information. ------------ My opening argument: There is no rational reason to prohibit same sex marriage in the United States. By prohibiting the rights of homosexuals to get married by the same standard as heterosexual couples, homosexuals are be denied the 1,138 statutory provisions, including benefits, rights, and privileges, that are attached to being married. The purpose of marriage in the United States is not procreative. In the United States, marriage is not an institution of love. The "nuclear family" is an outdated model of the typical American family. All forms of sexuality should be respected equally. Homosexuality is not an illness, disease, or disorder.
There is a legitimate, rational reason to ban same sex marriage in the United States

I did not realize the idea of me performing oral sex on you turned you on so greatly. If you want to proceed with some sort of homosexual relationship, I'll need a solid commitment from you. If I can't count on you to be exclusive with me, I don't think it'll work out. I can only thrive in a relationship with someone who is fully committed to me as I am to them. But if you're willing to commit, I don't see why we can't meet up and see if things work out. If all fails, we can talk about your hard boards. Hard boards can be our "Breakfast at Tiffany's." However, I am only interested in dating intelligent men. So in your response to Round Four, please tell me if your statement in Round 3 used a metaphor or a simile. If you answer correctly, I think we can have a bright future together. <3xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

God used Evolution to Create the World.

< > LOL! You posted: < > I was simply showing you where you were in error, but since you were itching to keep this Biblical I'm all for it! < > Progressive Creationism has nothing to do with how God used evolution to create the world; nor does it have anything to do with this debate. Before God created the land plants on the third day, He separated/created the waters on the second day (which is logically when the marine organisms came into existence). God did make whales before land mammals -- evolutionists are not all-knowing of evolution, which is why they know evolution only as a theory and not as a fact, hence the Theory of Evolution. Also, God did create the Earth before he organized the heavenly bodies, but you're forgetting that the Earth wasn't initially lit by the Sun. In addition, just because astronomy insists that the Sun is older than the Earth it does not make it so. For centuries people believed the Earth was flat, but God never made it that way and they were totally and completely and utterly wrong. < > < > Again, your interpretation is flawed. Just recently, in 2004, we've seen the Earth's day lengthen due to a tsunami (. http://en.wikipedia.org...). The earthquake shortened the length of a day by 2.68 microseconds, due to a decrease in the oblateness of the Earth. (This was done by an earthquake with power that is infinitesimal when compared to the power of God. ) This "alteration" has NOT changed how we define what a day is at all -- in the same way, we can take some YOM and just know that they are not measured the same way which other YOM are measured. As for the Noah's Flood point. .. *raspberry* It's unrelated to this debate, so I invite you to directly challenge me to it on another, but I'm leaving it alone because it has no relevence. <> I'm not sure what kind of Bible you're using as a reference, as you don't support your claims the same way that I do (with links), but mine doesn't say that and I'm not into progressive creation and won't indulge you this late in the debate as you only made mention of it in the 3rd and Final Round, especially since it has nothing to do with how God used evolution to create the world.
God used Evolution to Create the World.

*sigh* Since we're apologizing, allow me: I did screw up with, "I pray that your blasphemy does not offend Him." I had a customer approaching me at the time and needed additional characters in my argument before the site would accept it, so lacking great imagination THAT is what came to mind. Sorry. (Your arguments are confusing, but I think I know the direction you want this debate to take. You don't care about how God created the planet, you want me to explain how God created the "populated world". Right? I hope so, 'cause that's where I'm going with this. As for my stance on the issue and my beliefs -- they're irrelevant to this debate, but I'll tell you about them afterwards if you truly want to know.) God used Mutation, Migration, Genetic Drift, Genetic Variation and Natural Selection to create the populated world (http://evolution.berkeley.edu...). From the lowest lifeform, God used evolution as his hands to build the populated world to what it is today. (Trying to anticipate a possible question from you:) The Garden of Eden, or what I recognize as Pangea (http://en.wikipedia.org...), was home to all of God's creatures and the reason evolution (the rise of man from bacteria) was able to happen in just one day was because back then the face of the Earth was exposed to the Sun for millions of years in just one of the planet's revolutions, which is what made God's work in the initial six days possible. Animals were not carnivorous until after Eve damned us all according to these two different Bibles that support this claim. Genesis 1:29 http://www.bibleontheweb.com... Genesis 1:30 http://www.christiananswers.net...
God used Evolution to Create the World.

Ok, we both started this debate off terribly: I will take credit for that! I was assuming someone who believed in Creationism by way of evolution would debate me... I know I know, Assuming makes an... yeah. Anyways I was not prepared at all to argue without the Bible as my reference again my stupidity. I am also glad to see you are legit SOLO. Thanks for taking the debate too! Good luck!!!! I realize your point in the first round but you gave no indication to why the bible does indicate evolution stands beside creation accurately. I said "If you believe God used evolution to create the world then you cannot believe the Bible to be literal" Then you said (paraphrased) "God did use evolution to create the world, now your argument is invalid"... I dont see how that makes my argument invalid. I want to know how He used evolution to create. Again, my point behind the sin and death argument was biblical... sorry for that but doctrinally Christ paid the price for ever single sin we commit, not just for someone who only sinned once. The carnivorous point you made was a good one but for this debate there isn't much i can say about that. I do believe animals were carnivorous in the Garden of Eden because they lived with Adam and Eve :-) Here is the point i guess where we get away from my first points that are almost irrelevant. Honestly I am not sure where you stand on this issue at all, I hope this debate is not nul-set at the end. Where do you stand on this issue? Do you believe that God created the world with Evolution? Honestly you only told me why you felt my points were wrong you never stated what you believed.
God used Evolution to Create the World.

My apologies, but you posted < > I felt that my statement of, "God DID use evolution to create the world, EXACTLY as the Bible indicates," negated that, thus invalidating your argument entirely. I thought I was being courteous in my efforts to make this debate interesting, when I could've easily taken a non-Christian stance (which also would've invalidated your argument's points). But if you insist on point-for-point nitpicking, you've got it. < > Ummm... no. We die once. That does not mean we've only commited one sin in each of our respective lives before we die. < > We don't know that. You've assumed that through your own personal interpretation of your own religious doctrine -- you interpretation is flawed. < > You're assuming they were always carnivorous. If humans weren't, why assume the same for animals?
terror against freedom

Thank you for the prompt reply, and first I would like to address your first statement: 'religion is war by disbelief' I, personally, am an atheist, however, everyone has the right to their own opinion and beliefs in religion. The majority of religious people do not try and force religion on you, even those whose beliefs require them to go and spread the word of their religion, never try to force you to do anything, they simply tell you about their religion in hopes that you will convert. Your second and final point calling the Koran hate in its purest form is simply nonsensical and has no pertinence to the argument. You provide no evidence for this claim, just your own opinion, and that is not enough evidence to prove a claim. In conclusion, banning Islam would do no good in the world, as it would only serve to provide more fuel for radical extremists who only corrupt an otherwise normal religion.
terror against freedom

You claim that supporting the Quran is terrorism, but that is not the definition of terrorism I included specifically because I mentioned it, and I knew you would. However, it is not terrorism because simply practicing a religion peacefully is not terrorism in any way. Some extremist groups do perform acts of terrorism, but as stated above, they are outsiders and actually are only responsible for 6% of the US’s terrorism problem, whereas right-wing extremism is responsible for 8 out of 14 prevented acts of terrorism(1). However, the many cannot be blamed for the acts of the few, which is why supporting Islam is not terrorism. 1. https://www.fbi.gov... (See introduction) Thank you for your response, however, please include at least 30 words in your closing statement, as I had almost nothing to argue against.
terror against freedom

However, first I feel a definition of terrorism will be necessary and pertains to the topic at hand. 1: Terrorism - the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion (1)Now, you state that Islam needs to be banned so those who are a victim of an entire religion, can feel no fear from it. However, this is quite simply put preposterous. The radical groups you are mentioning do not reflect the entire group’s belief. In fact, almost all Muslims in Lebanon view ISIS unfavorably, and in the US they believe that their religious leaders have not done enough to speak out against religious groups (2). Now, you also speak of terror, to which I would like to respond by saying this: 94% of terror attacks were committed by non-Muslims (3). Now, I am not exactly sure what you are referencing by saying that victims can escape by banning the religion because I am not sure exactly to whom you are referring. If you mean those in the US, banning the religion would do nothing to ‘free’ anyone, who is most likely not imprisoned. In fact, all it would do is violate the US Constitution, according to the Bill of Rights. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” which means that any law could not be passed and would immediately be ruled unconstitutional. By banning this in the United States, or any country civilized country, you would only feed the flames of terrorism, as they would be able to convince and force more people into becoming radicalized.
