After debating our differences a number of times here on RF with various liberals who support gay marriage, etc., I've tried my darndest to keep my mouth shut.
I find it sad that you feel you need to keep your mouth shut and
I disagree with you.
I sometimes think, its an American thing, to try to preach free speech on one hand while shouting down one's opponent on the other.
We know where we stand, I see no point in beating a dead horse.
When the question is about policy that affects people that disagree with you, perhaps there is a point to discuss. The religious aspects of it are perhaps a different story. In that case, one discusses the reasons for the religious position which is "the bible said so in clear terms". Other reasons are up for serious debate.
Imagine if I, as an atheist, wanted to make believing in God illegal. For myself, I think, there is "no debate". "I know where I stand".
The problem is me wanting to propose laws on those that disagree with me.
There is a
huge different between saying "I disbelieve in God" and "I want to make religion illegal".
Gay marriage proponents often utterly reject the notion that acceptance of gay lifestyles will lead to acceptance of other lifestyles (polygamy, bestiality, etc), and can't stand it when conservatives make such a claim. Yet, already we are seeing, right here on RF, the extreme left wing thought process being taken to just that extent, in defenses by several people of polygamy and now bestiality.
True. However, many people who accept gay marriage don't accept bestiality.
As for polygamy, our society allows people to have concentual sex with multiple partners.
Adultery is legal and has been for quite some time and
divorce is legal which is
against a direct command by Jesus!!! It is very scary that some people are forced into marriages by some religious groups like extreme mormons but if a whole bunch of people want to have concentual sex, its
already legal. Does this mean its "moral"? No! I'd certainly not want to "share" a spouse. The risk of disease is higher. How about practical? Poly-divirce would be a legal nightmare.
So, today, what happens when a married person has a baby out of wedlock?
Certainly, in my case, I believe one should be loyal to their spouse. I accept gay marriage and
I respect the right of churches not to perform gay marriage ceremonies.
Sex is being made into something to be done whenever, however, and with who or WHATever one chooses. How far will that rationale take us (or more specifically, the left)? When will it end?
Well, sin is legal!!!
All around us, in our society,
1. people legally blaspheme
2. 100% of polician's lie
3. People look at other's in lust
4. People use God in order to advance their careers without sincerly believing in God
5. People worship other Gods
6. People cheat
7. Adultery is done
...
All the corruption you fear, is already here, it was hear 2000 years ago.
We are not of this world ... <-- Why did jesus say this.
