Marriage is very much an embattled subject as is. I think it would be further weakened by raising homosexual unions to that level.

No amount of propaganda will ever convince me that sexual relations between two men is normal and should be raised to a special linking as is marriage.

I recall that skit from the film Night on Earth where taxi driver Roberto Benigni is confessing to his fare- a priest about his illicit relationship with a lamb. Priceless. Perhaps that will be the next new needed voting bloc.

This is a warning sign.. that good things such as morals are bad and homosexual acts are good. Jesus did talk about the warning signs of when the end is near..

God knows from beginning to end, knows everyone's heart even before the poll was taken here.. the number of hairs on our head is known by God.. no surprises to God.. he is never mocked. God is always the winner.

How would my marriage harm anyone elses marriage? If someone you don't know, and will likely never meet, can harm your marriage, then you have a crappy marriage.

Concept of marriage in terms of decline of importance of marriage as a serious undertaking between a man and a woman or value of having both in a child raising relationship.

That is what I meant and it was obvious.

You forgot the conclusion to your thought/statement.

The concept of marriage, in terms of decline of importance of marriage as a serious undertaking between a man and a woman or value of having both in a child raising relationship, is...

The stuff between the commas is set up to the conclusion. finish your thought.

It doesn't matter if you believe it or not when the world comes to an end, perhaps billions of years from now, the god you believe exists will have nothing to do with it.
