Listen son, people have provided you with reasons for not applying the word marriage to the coupling of gays. When we present our reasons you dismiss them as being Christian in basis and so irrelevant. When we have told you that we are not Christians you dismiss that on the grounds that we only think as we do because we have been fed the belief to us by Christians. The fact is that we have our moral code and our code does not mesh well with yours. We think words have meanings. We believe that institutions have their purpose. We think that the extension of ancient and universal institutions beyond their purpose would demean the institution and unleash the chaos this institution was meant to hold back. The prevalence of divorce, also argued by the Left and made popular with similar rational as those you present have gone a long way towards confusing our culture and raising nihilistic, fatalistic and narcissistic youth.
I am presuming to speak for a number of people on this thread, so you all should correct me if I am wrong, but we think you are immature, inexperienced and are taking this conversation a little too personally. You need to read a bit about the meaning of the separation of church and state. It does not mean that folk cannot or should not get their moral code from religion. It means that the government cannot sponsor or be sponsored by churches or other religious communities. Elected officials, on the other hand, can be sponsored by any American who would like to contribute.
Catalonia may or may not be more intelligent them myself. What is definitely true is that they posted pretty much what I was thinking before I had time to do so myself. It is this precise sort of wasteful, melodramatic and inaccurate thrust at our character which makes a conversation with you tedious. To be frank, I would rather have the option of deferring to more intelligent, more talented and more energetic folk then myself. It seems that all three of us who are bothering to argue with you are of about similar quality in mind, give or take. You can use that opening at your discretion.
You are like the Black Knight in Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail and there is nothing to be gained from hacking off any other idea you have presented. Others have made your points before and it didn’t convince me then. You have obviously heard our points before and they seem like non-points to you. Let it be.
