If they were really wanting equal rights, then why not accept the many benefits of civil unions, without having to take on the concept of traditional marriage. This tells me that this battle in California was for idealogical reasons and not simply about economic benefits of marriage. They wanted to slam dunk religion, and they failed.

Umm, yes. It is at least partially about ideological reasons, but more so on the part of the proponents of prop 8.

What's your point?

My point is quit trying to make this an economic civil right, when what it boils down to is idealogy and the contempt for traditional values and religion.

I see. So it can't be about more than one thing.

You're compartmentalizing again.

In my experience they don't.

It isn't about whether or not you can - it's that you do.

Lord, now I feel like I am back in High School grade when *I* taught Sunday School.

Quit blaming others for your conflicted inner being.

Now I am done. I have lost patience with you (and for all I know, you could just be trolling) and will get mean if this continues, so let's drop it.

Good luck with your inner turmoil, I find it SICK that you feel like you get to not only be f'd up yourself, but criticize others.

Shove off.

Nah, I gave you plenty of chances to act like a human being and not a programmed simulacrum.

You fail.

You're obviously a weak and very impressionable person who blames those around him for his own decisions.

A coward who can't accept himself - so he instead focuses on others.

Grow up. Heal yourself. Quit projecting your issues onto an entire minority.

No, I was trying to hold a civil conversation with you, until you turned it nasty.

Please, don't let me get in the way of your substituting a bible for a penis.
