Might as well throw in the cocker spaniel while you're at it. If you ignore God's laws, then there is no absolute right or wrong. If I wish to steal from you, I do it. it is OK with me. If you feel it is wrong that is just your opinion.
All the way to post #23 before you caved-in to the bestiality comparisons, eh, Bideshi? Impressive will power.
Why don't you list all the legal contracts you *can* enter into with your cocker spaniel for us?
Let's see - in order to be PC and not 'discriminate' I should be allowed to marry my sister - right?
If the gays can do it , why can't I?
So the question is - how many SSM supporters out there agree with incest, and if not, why not?
You're right. And since slippery-slope is so infallible we must conclude:
If same sex marriages are allowed then:
brother/sister marriages must be allowed
parent/child marriages must be allowed
human/other species marriages must be allowed
human inanimate object marriages must be allowed
The only way to stop from sliding down this slippery slope is to disallow same sex marriages.
BUT
Is that the top of the slope? Or has something else already have us over the edge.
People of the same sex will want to get married since people of the opposite sex can get married. The only way to prevent a person from marrying their remote control is to ban one-man-one-woman marriage.

Once we redefine marriage to allow gays to marry, it does open it up to other interpretations.
No, it really doesn't.

Until we start reserving marriage for only people who procreate, this topic is a non-starter.

See above.

They shouldn't. Glad we can agree on that!
We do not need to redefine marriage, just to appease gays, sorry, end of line.
Men and women having sex do make babies, which is why marriage applies to them. It's really that simple.
We the people in our states make the laws to reflect the society we want to live in, they may appear arbitrary to you, but that's tough. Every time you don't like something, you cannot run to the fedes or the courts to force your views down the throats of everyone else.
Lots of our laws are arbitrary in nature, like child labor laws, drinking laws, driving laws, and even marriage laws. Get married, no one can stop you, but don't demand we endorse it and subsidize it against our will.

Oh crap! Now I gotta tell my wife of 43 years that we aren't legally married because we decided prior to our marriage we weren't having children. Sheesh, I hate these exclusive clubs!
Much better that you marry your sister rather than mine.
