Unseen replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"That can be fixed and probably will be once the Supreme Court deals with the question."
Stefanie replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"The problem with civil unions is that they lack portability. If same-sex marriage is not recognized federally, any rights that you have been given by your civil union, whether they be the same as marriage or not, are not recognized as soon as you…"
Stefanie replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"I agree completely. Giving the lgbt community a separate but equal status just deems them second class citizens. It's just saying that even though they may deserve equal rights, they are not deserving of a marriage."
george smith replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"It is based on the idea that being gay is a sin and we should not legally allow such a sin to take place. However being married if the woman is not a virgin is a sin so the argument holds no true ground. And losing your virginity is almost always…"

Like I said, if you had something to say, you could boil it down to something quick and easy for everyone to comprehend. Instead, you hid behind a wall of words.'

Kris Feenstra replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"I've had a change of heart, so here's the condensed version:

Kris Feenstra replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"How would you know? By your own profession, you didn't read the reply, and now you are baselessly speculating on my motives? Content dictates length, and you didn't read the content. I started out short, but you keep…"
Unseen replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"Like I said, "Any good reply can be condensed. Condense it."
You don't really want a discussion, you want to drive the interlocutor away by making it too much trouble for them to engage you.
You just proved my point."
Kris Feenstra replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"No. Don't blame me for your laziness. You asked questions and I responded to them."
Unseen replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"I probably didn't read it. Every reply of yours is like a term paper, and while I like ThinkAtheist, I have a life outside it as well. Give me the Readers Digest version. Maybe you'll go on about me not reading your entire posts, but you…"
Kris Feenstra replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"I've already gone over that."

You say that separate but equal is not equal. I get it in the case of race: the facilities for blacks were less clean and less comfortable than those for whites. What is the crucial difference in the case a separate equal arrangement…"
Kris Feenstra replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"The slope STARTS with heterosexual marriage? By that logic, EVERYTHING that exists is the start of a slope.
No, a slippery slope just requires that a trend from one point to a greater extreme can be established. My point is that the…"
Rachel Anne Dort replied to Jared Metschke's discussion 'Any Secular Reason Against Gay Marriage?'"From my perspective, the state should not be involved in marriage at all.

- I think the major reason was senior year in high school. I read Job to understand why God would punish someone who was good, and the answer Job gave was pretty unsatisfying.
