What a spinning fool. Again, the same sex marriage debate solely boils down to one and only one point, which is:

Should the Federal Govt. be allowed to promote one religion's beliefs over another?

I say no because it violates the First Amendment's anti-establishment clause. Moreover, is patently unfair to give benefits automatically to one person because of their religious beliefs to the exclusion of another tax paying American citizen.

Yet, this a$$ spins it by implying the irrelevant and incorrect argument that those nasty fags are responsible for the decline in the traditional religious definition of marriage. I mean what if atheist heteros refuse to marry in a Church? Why should that be allowed?

i'm always glad when others make logical arguments for me. i have difficulty sometimes because others' stupidity paralyzes the rational side of my brain, and i just see the words "retard" flashing in front of my eyes.

Many of those around here who have met know I can rip someone's head off verbally - I just try not to - though believe me it is hard.

Ditto :laugh: this issue has me so incredibly pissed, I've had to rely on the very well thought-out and conveyed points of others.
