To answer your last question, look at my previous posts as to why people don't agree with SS marriage.
I didn't ask you if people agree with same sex marriage, I asked you why it shouldn't be a legal civil marriage? Same sex couple can have babies too, therefore that cancels out your first part, even though children aren't a legal reason for legal civil marriage.

Missing my point.


Never said that either, however, it doesn't feel like the marriage rate is falling.
Why does most married couples are heterosexual sexual matter if same sex marriage is illegal? Therefore those that are same sex couples cannot marry.

Religious justification to support opposition to interracial marriage

Who is opposing interracial marriage? Not the same as same-sex marriage....

They both aren't "traditional," though.

Why isn't it the same? Both involve denying people the right to marry.

Because all heterosexuality is is a preference to have sex with members of the opposite sex. That's it.

Your point is nonsense.

And EVERY statistic shows that the marriage rate is falling.
Still missing my point and still assuming.

Because throughout history, marriage has traditionally been for a man and woman. Again, the comparison to SSM and interracial marriage is spurious. SSM hasn't been written in law as legal, that came over time. Interracial marriages have already existed in history, even before the US came to existence.

Christian beliefs are based on the Bible, while personal beliefs are just personal beliefs. See the difference?

The Bible has multiple versions, and multiple interpretations. That's FACT.
Really? Then you should have no trouble quoting one that supports their views. The people you quote did not quote ANY translation of the Bible. Let's see if you can.

FYI one in seven couple is interracial now. Expect that number to rise even higher in the future.

Ignore history then, same sex marriages and unions have existed in the past, it is not recent. Many of the Native American tribes allowed same sex unions and that was before the US came into existence .
