    Marriage, a legal concept, predates the very existance of the notion of a chrstian god... Therefore, HANDS OFF, DOUCHEBAG!

    Soon as I read that he's Christian I signed off. His words have no merit. Done.


    Please note I'm not saying someone being Christian means their words are worth nothing, but when they talk about same sex marriage being bad for kids, blah blah blah, then yeah their words are about as much worth as that piece of gum you find stuck under your desk in elementary school.

    he is not a christian, he is a fundementalist christian, so no need to explain.

    I suspect this guy took too many blows to the head (that means two things, teehee... damnit, now I am quoting family guy in my posts again...)

    He is absolutely off of his fucking rocker to be condemning no-fault divorce. Marriage is and ought to be a voluntary relationship at every step of the way.

    Why the fuck is it that people are now saying that criticism by their fellows abridges their freedom of speech? Here's how it works. You say marriage is between a man and a woman. I call you a bigot. Your freedom of speech is exercised. So is mine. You are not silenced. You've been heard. So have I. You just don't like the fact that it's actually bad to be a bigot (and that it's almost bad to be homophobic) and that you're being called one. That's not uncivil discourse. And people are not required to bite their tongues about this sort of thing. And no it's not un-American, you stupid fuck.
