Sadly, it wouldn't be the first time I've jumped the gun on here.

Edited to add - the "they" I was referring to is all the people, religious or not, who are butt-hurt over ssm.

You may have only meant it when it comes to gay marriage but the argument is the same which means you did mean that.

Now I've lost you, I truly don't know what you are talking about.

Please refer to my previous posts, on this and several other threads, and explain to me how you've come to the conclusion that I somehow oppose ssm.

Including ours.

You've hit the nail on the head: The opponents of marriage equality aren't projecting a principled perspective. They're just trying to find yet one more way to act out on their intention to express their hatred.

What a load of Phony Crap you people spread.

Stop CALLING decent citizens who oppose this homosexual same sex marriage ...haters. It's NOT Hatred disagreeing with this False attempt to corrupt REAL Marriage.


But, promoters of this 'hatred' false label, prove how intellectually DisHonest they are !!

The only 'hatred' is clearly coming from the promoters of Same sex marriage, PERIOD.

I realize that seeing the truth causes extreme discomfort in people who are so beholden to a fantasy that they believe it as truth. However, your denials are impotent. You claim people aren't haters, yet they practice hate. You make a claim trying to limit which marriages are "real", yet the marriages you exclude are real - you have only to actually spend time with one of those families to know it is true. When your beliefs can only be supported by blinding yourself to such realities, you need to consider taking a step back and question your own assumptions. Beliefs that cannot be scrutinized are without merit.

Your "I know you are but what am I" is ridiculously puerile. If you have some universally-acknowledged tenet of morality to support your objection to what I wrote, then post it. My comment was grounded in the universal ethic known as the ethic of reciprocity, found in practically every religious perspective practiced on earth. Your comments seem to be grounded only in your own personal opinion as fostered perhaps by the dogma of your religion.

If you're just going to spew more self-ratifying nonsense, then be prepared for it to be labeled as such, and dismissed due to lack of merit. You live in a world with other people who do not brook with your insistence on cavalier reactions or reliance on superstitious belief. You are perfectly entitled to live in accordance with your own beliefs within your own skin, within your own families and within your own worship. When you come out into public you are expected to behave practicing as much respect for others living their life as they see fit, within their own skin, within their own families and within their own worship, as you would have them respect you doing the same. When you don't respect others living their life as they see fit, within their own skin, within their own families and within their own worship, that's bigotry. When you act on that bigotry, that's hate.

Good gosh, how in the world does same-sex marriage "corrupt" "real marriage? How does two men or two women living together as a married couple affect a man and a woman being married? How does it take away from what straight people have enjoyed for millennia? If you're so concerned about the corruption of "real" marriage, why don't you fuss about the 55% divorce rate? Once married, you're supposed to stay married, right? But I don't see anybody fussing about the high divorce rate.

And yes, this is all about hate - if like you didn't hate gay people, you'd not have a problem with same-sex marriage, would you?

Time to face the music - this is no different than women and minority rights - the haters were wrong back then, and they're wrong now. You can't get more cut-and-dried than that. If you're so against the principles of the US Constitution, there's plenty of other countries that'd be glad to have you - like North Korea and Uganda.

And Brownback's ugly decision in Kansas is going to turn off a LOT of moderates in the GOP - just wait and see.

FALSE !!! More False propaganda from You !!!

You are making intellectually dishonest accusations/Claims. WRONG.

Hate is ONLY coming from you and your kind.

We are standing on long standing Values, TRUTH.

You people are ''making it up as you go along.''

STOP with the False ''hate'' attacks. That's NOT a true statement.
