Gay Marriage

"You justify your argument by stating that homosexuality is 'perverse', yet you fail to expand on this issue. How, exactly, is it perverse? Because of what the Bible said it is (not Christian but, from my interpretation, yes; the Bible is homophobic)? The Bible is an ancient text written by humans which, as Christianity states, are imperfect. How can we rely on this information from a book written by imperfect, presumably heterosexual men? If we look at the argument of the four law argument developed by Aquinas, we can assume that the Bible is not an entirely true representation of God's ideals as the Bible is only Divine Law, not quite the same as God's eternal law. The Bible is just not reliable." This is, in the debating world, referred to as a straw-man, the old testament laws are unreasonable yes, the New Testament calls it "a cruel school teacher which taught you that you cannot achieve grace through works". I am agreeing with you there, but I am not going off of the Old Testament, I am going off of the new testament, both the verse in Romans and the one in revelation. Though I was not initially referring to the bible, you brought t to mind. I was going off of the fact that it is unnatural. You do know what happened to Victor Frankenstein when he interfered with the natural order of things? "Homosexuality is natural and actually beneficial to the survival of the human race; it has been found in 1,000+ species and gay couples are much more likely to adopt than straight couple,s because why would a fertile heterosexual couple go through the strain and emotional turmoil of adoption? Not many. A recent study even suggests that gay men are better parents than both straight and lesbian couples. Straight couples can conceive without meaning to, leaving them only 9 months to prepare physically, emotionally and financially for the arrival of their child. Lesbians, too, can conceive fairly quickly through the use of Artificial Insemination by Donor, and can rush into parenthood as well. However, gay men have to get past all sorts of obstacles to become fathers from screening to finding a surrogate mother. This means they get plenty of planning and preparation before actually being responsible for a child." Not true, gay people are incapable of reproducing as this can only occur between two of opposite genders. Further adding to the point that it is unnatural, and that it is a choice, because if they where born that way, they would not pass on that inherent trait, so gay people would go extinct. But this is not what we see, instead they increase. Now we move back to why they would be bad parents, this is because parents naturally have more affection for their own children than other peoples, this is innate. "As for marriage, I see little point in it anymore- so many people are atheistic or take a liberal stance on their religion, I don't see why it's still so common. If your religious and you want to be united in God's presence, go ahead; I just don't understand why people who don't believe in a god get married because they really don't need to. Marriage is a religious ceremony, so why is marriage so important to atheists too? You can still love each other and be together- a wedding is just a waste of money. If you don't need to united by God, why bother?" They can marry, marriage was invented by god, but you can still use it if you do not believe in god. For example; god made the air, but atheists are capable of breathing. "That leads me on to my last point. If atheists can marry, why not two Christian lesbians or gay guys? They have more of a need to be joined in matrimony than atheists, don't they? It's important to them." No, gay marriage, is not marriage, it would be like someone drinking illegal moonshine and saying "but everyone has the right to water", well guess what, MOONSHINE IS NOT WATER! No more than gay "marriage" is marriage. So, OK, if they want the right to marriage, fine, i will defend their right to marriage, they just go and find someone of the OPPOSITE GENDER and we can fill out the paperwork.
