Government should only recognize civil unions, which should be upgraded to the same status as marriage, but with a different title.
Seeing as the bigots have gone out of their way on the state level to make damn sure that sort of thing could never happen, it's a bit late in the game to talk compromise. And a courthouse marriage is 100% secular, anyway, so...
There are more than 40,000 Christian denominations in the U.S. Everyone is free to interpret scripture as they see fit to do or ignore the whole deal. Some Christian churches have no issue with SSM and will now be free to perform legal marriages should they choose to do so.
Good for them. As long as those who don't are left alone
I think the chances of that are slim though. But as I said, I hope I'm proven wrong
Oh good grief, wasn't it you who told someone to relax a bit ago?
We should all be concerned about nononsenseguy's blood pressure today, based on what he has been writing.

Sorry. Close reading can be difficult for some.

Beyond that, your response does not invalidate my conjecture.
Well you are right that you offer conjecture.

On the other hand, I think the poster you plagiarized probably does feel the way he states he does. So the first, I find honest and genuine (whether I agree with it or not), the second I find dishonest and disingenuous (whether I agree with it or not).
The statment was that the first post was presumably honest and sincere, and the second post was basically a personal dig. And I stand by that statement.
Yeah, all those I's don't make your post all about you. No, not at all.

You haven't been banned. You have been banned only from what is unnatural and, frankly, disgusting and obscene.
Marriage has only one meaning, and no Court, no matter how high, can change that. This decision is an abomination, like homosexuality itself. May God's wrath be upon those who have made this decision, and all those who practice this iniquity.
Gay marriage is unnatural? Well so is hetero marriage, or any marriage. There is no marriage in nature as it is a human construct. Oh, you must mean banned from gay sex then. Except wait a minute, no, gays could have sex before this ruling, outside of marriage, just like heteros. So you were saying what, exactly?
I just wanna know why when it comes to LGBT topics folks all of a sudden want to quote scripture, talk about morality and make overtures about religious freedom being under attack, while everything else that might be considered immoral doesn't get the same treatment?
Ruth Ginsberg and Elena Kagan broke the law.
Their opinion is invalid in this case and will not stand.
These are impeachable offenses.
You can write it one million more times. Still isn't true. Sorry to disappoint you.
