"He uses fallacious reasoning and presents specious statistics." nawlins, I don't think you - in particular - should never use a word that so nearly sounds like fallacio.

GGG-Man I don't want gays to get married unless they're marrying someone of the opposite sex (it happens, and I wish them well). I acknowledge that gay couples who are committed, hardworking, and community minded can bring some very good things to society. Gay unions are different from married unions. Two men cannot be joined in Holy Matrimony. Since Holy Matrimony and Marriage are synonymous, gay unions should not be called marriage. Don't assume I view gays as vile or twisted because I view gay unions as inferior to married unions. I view cohabiting heterosexual unions as inferior to married unions. I view marriage as uniquely beneficial to our society. That's why I (and a majority of Americans) resist the move to redefine marriage.

What in the world does redefining the word marriage have to do with the struggle for gay rights? Marriage has always had a limited definition. Now the radicals who want to redefine marriage STILL insist on limitations (they claim they don't want to allow for incest or polygamy), they just "don't feel good" about the traditional limitation of one-man-one-woman-for-one lifetime. And THEN they have the chutzpah to say that those who oppose redefining marriage are outside of the mainstream and bigots.

If marriage "does not need to be 'defended'" why did Bill Clinton sign the Defense of Marriage Act?

GGG, you call OTHER people smug? Wow.

Why can't gays just leave the definition of marriage alone? Why do they insist on misusing the courts and coercing legislators in order to get government to "redefine" marriage? And THEN they have the chutzpah to say that those who oppose redefining marriage are unnecessarily involving the government in a "personal" issue. Strange times, these.

It's called child abuse - and now they've legalized it. It makes one wonder what's next?

Amy, if you really want to know why we Christians revere the O.T., you might find this helpful: http://www.jesusplusnothing.com/jesus66books.htm

Thanks for proving my point, Brian2344. The dense usually come around eventually. There's hope for you - unless you descend from dense to hopelessly leftist.

Is this some kind of SPAM?
