Why do YOU have the right to vote on MY rights? (reject, paradise)

I don't think incest is a nice thing, but I don't have the ego to think my opinion makes a damn difference one way or another between two people who are in an incestuous relationship.

And I could care less about your opinion or ego or anything else.

In the context of this debate, all I care about is marriage.

What says "worship" is a "human right"? Tell me that, nutshell, and you'll have your answer.

Get your facts straight next time and then I might answer your second question.

Who cares about who came first. It was not a "fact" I presented and you assume too much.

NOW - "What says 'worship' is a 'human right'? " Justify YOUR right to worship.

Psst..., You'll find it in the First Amendment. And as a country,we gave you that freedom.

So the Constitution says you have a right to worship. Do you know where it says that we have have rights not enumberated? Is marriage one of those rights, Case law says it is. AND NO WHERE is it restricted to a man and a women. It's makes it neccessary to install an amendment to force the man/women concept. And all based on a phobia or a hatred or a fear or a withholding of Christ's love in your heart. Pick whatever you think is the lessor of those choices because there AIN'T any others that reach that level of importance.

Further, I am not insecure at all. I am seeking to protect an institution created and define by God Himself.

Secular mararriage has NEVER been sacred. All marriage today is secular. You are wrong, flat out wrong, to apply that word to a secular institution and perhaps more in error to think that a religious "sacredness" should be in a secular government.
