Nitrox Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Does anyone here know what idea this idiot is trying to convey? Â Seems like he's arguing for getting the state out of the business of annointing "marriages" all together. Man and woman, two chicks, two dudes - everybody gets the same piece of paper. If you want your marriage blessed by whatever cult/deity/collective that's your business, not the state's. Â You've apparently contracted Nitrox's disorder. Â 'Marriage' IS a civil contract. Hence, you know, the term 'marriage license'. Religiosity is optional...and the state already doesn't give a shit about that component, other than to authorize church members (as it does secular folks) to perform the ceremony. Â Religion is irrelevant to both the court cases posted and this discussion in general. I would guess TrailerMan brought it up due to confusion and/or the undeniable urge to counter with something, anything, whenever I post. Â Â Â Marriage is both a religious ceremony and a civil contract, the later being relatively new in comparison. Marriage predates US law by only a few thousand years. However, you as an atheist want to encourage the government hijacking of marriage because it helps get rid of religion. Â I'm actually for gay marriage, but people like you just end up turning off the average person with your abrasive behavior. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Funerals are often a religious ceremony. I guess gays shouldn't be able to have those, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
