1) Being gay is unnatural. Real Americans reject
unnatural things, like eyeglasses and polyester
and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay
just like hanging around tall people will encourage
you to be tall.

3) Straight marriage has been around a long time
and hasn't changed at all. Women are still property,
blacks cannot marry whites, and no fault divorce
doesn't exist.

4) Straight marriages are valid because they
produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples
and the elderly are equally banned from getting
marriage licenses.

5) Gay couples will only raise gay children just
like straight couples only raise straight children.

6) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. That
is why in a country like ours moral values are
shared by all and there is only one religion.

7) Children can never succeed without a mother
and father at home, which explains why there
are no single parent households.

8) Gay marriage will change the nature of
society which can never adapt to new social
norms, like women holding public office and
blacks being allowed to vote.

Since approximately 5% of all pe3ople and animals are gay, I would hardly
call it, "Unnatural".

Gayness in born, and not chosen. Hanging around tall people doesn't make one
tall, and hanging around gay people doesn't make one gay. So you are wrong
on both counts.

The elderly, as well as invertile couples are not banned from getting
marriage licenses here in the US, nor in most countries here on Earth.>

Not so either. (you are betting zero) The children raised by gay couples are
still only 5% gay, just like everyone else.

The huge number of successful and creative gay people throughout history is

If society could not adapt to "new social norms", we would still be living
in trees. The entire history of society is the adaption of new social norms.

Gays are sick and need medical attention and not marriage

Nobody ever asked permission from government to be tall
Gays people have been around tall people for a long
time they will never procreate, so why the label of marriage then?
Just for fun or a mean to advertise your depravity?

Women have never been a property only in the land
of those irregelious rebellious american whose ancestors
fled europe to engage into a slave selling business.
The whole wolrd has recorded some love song
between women and their lovers before getting married.
It is the liberal propangadists who want to depict
a submissive wife as a property as to make her
rebel and thus break up the family

Yes, sex are meant for procreation and procreation
for the common good of society should be done in wedlock.
This is the wisdom of the ages and your new social engeneering
will be stoped. If infertile couples can't procreate
we seek to consult a doctor because it is an anomaly. Ederly
people have already procreated and done their part in sustaining
the common good in human family. Gay people bring nothing on the table
except
for their own pervert interest. They are nothing but a bunch of self-
centered
that only a pagan and demoniac CONSTITUTION of the USA
would protect

There should be one religion... By defending
the freedom of religion and by freedom of religion
it is meant plurality of religion - the framers of the
pagan constitution tried to put their document above
the Bible and thereby misled mankind.
They are already paying for their ARROGANCE

Gay marriage is NOT close in comparaison to black vote.
Human society will die out If everybody becomes gay.
And this is what you are promoting...

Adolf Hitler was resolving his bank account one day, and said to himself,
(in German, of course) "Two plus two equals four" And therefore, all
arithmetic has thenceforth been nullified and made impossible to use, since
everything Hitler did and thought was wrong.

Since independent of the marriage thing, there's absolutely no chance of
everybody becoming gay, I'm guessing that's not your real problem.
"Phobia" comes from the Greek word for fear. And the phobia in
homophobic is the fear that you're gay.

Ask your therapist what "projection" means. If you don't have one,
please find one. And I don't mean one who claims to practice gay
"reparative" therapy. I mean someone qualified to deal with the latent
feelings that are clearly roiling your life.

I can't speak for everyone who supports marriage equality, but for me
the issue is a legal one concerning equal protection. I'm not
interested in other people's sexual orientation or activity.

> So you are saying that there is way away to indulge in your depravity
> of homosexuality without being married.

Ask your therapist why you're obsessed with homosexuality and why you
think about "depravity." People have sex, gay couples and straight,
married or no. You should probably restrict your interest to you and
your partner. Otherwise, it's none of your business.

NOW WHY THE MARRIAGE THING FOR?

Civil marriage is a state-sanctioned contract between two people. It
provides for various benefits, and the question is whether the state may
treat some couples differently and deny them those benefits. Under
equal-protection law, the state must have some rational basis for
discrimination, and I don't believe it does.

Religious marriage is a different animal and will not be affected by
changes to the law regarding civil marriage.

Get help.

> All very good reasons, Brother Mitchell. Thank you and may God bless.

And here we have to invoke Poe's law that says that at a certain level,
ignorance and parody of ignorance cannot be distinguished. Or there's
nothing so dumb that has been posted to misc.legal, that some ignoramus
hasn't posted dumber and in all seriousness.

> Dr. C Love
> Doctor of Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a type of medical quackery that rests on the notion that
like things cure like diseases, and that the more dilute the curative
agents, the more powerful they are. These quacks dilute their bogus
curative agents by multiple steps of factors of 10. A homeopathic
solution of 1X strength has been diluted in water to 10% or its
original; 2X, to 1%; 3X to .1%, and so on. The number of molecules of a
substance in the number of grams equal to is molecular weight is called
Avogadros's number, and it's on the order of 10^23. Thus, once you get
to 24X, the solution is expected to have only one molecule of the
curative substance. 30X solutions are common. That means that there is
only one chance in a million of there being even one molecule in the
solution.

> Master of Reikki Therapy

Reikki Therapy pretends to cure disease by the laying of the
practitioner's hands on the patient to redirect spiritual energy.
Studies have been done of this nonsense, and none has ever detected this
energy or found any therapeutic effect beyond suggestion. Except the
effect of the laying of the practitioner's hands on the patient's wallet.

Pagan is a collection of religious beliefs. Why do you allege that our
law is based on religious beliefs?

Not in the sense being used in this discussion.

But switching the focus to another meaning of the word is just another
way to run away from the discussion.

What agenda do you oppose? Why don't you want to treat people equally
under the law? How is it moral to treat some people badly? What religion
teaches that?

I know that some people used their religion to defend slavery, misogyny,
and other forms of bigotry, but just because they allege that their
religion teaches that that does not make their religious claim true or
moral.

How dumb do you have to be to have taken the post seriously? Did it
occur to you for even a minute that the post was making fun of
homophobes? Check out point 6: "a country like ours [where] there is
only one religion." Or 7: "there are no single parent households." Or
8: "society ... could never adapt to ... women holding public office...."

Do you get the idea now? Try doing this exercise on your own for 1-5.

I believe that equal protection law demands that rational people stand
on the side of marriage equality. But it's downright embarrassing to
find myself next to you.

I don't know where you're posting from. Perhaps you're not concerned
with US law. But in the United States, the government must justify
applying laws differently across different classes of people. If the
law concerns basic rights or discriminates on the basis of race, the
standard is so strict that almost no justification will be able to
withstand judicial scrutiny. Other classes receive less scrutiny, thus
allowing more discrimination. I'll be glad to give more details if
you're interested.

This topic is covered extensively in the briefs in the court case
concerning California's Proposition 8. Why haven't you investigated it?

> Yet I still think that only PAGAN LAW can seek to protect a devious life style.

I'm not sure what pagan law is. (Or how it differs from PAGAN LAW.) In
the United States, we classify laws as civil or criminal or as federal
or state. But all binding law comes from the government, and all of it
must be secular. Government law may not have a religious purpose.

> LAW ARE MEANT TO BE DISCRIMINATORY.

In the sense that law distinguishes between the allowed and the
forbidden, you're correct. But in the US, only under strict guidelines
are laws are allowed to discriminate between different classes of people.

> There is no life without discrimination.

You're using the word "discrimination" to mean essentially
classification. And in that sense, you're right. I may discriminate
between strawberry and chocolate ice cream, preferring the former to the
latter. As a private citizen, I have broad latitude to discriminate
between different groups of people, preferring to associate with
heterosexuals instead of homosexuals. But the application of the law is
not granted that leeway.

> I mean Positive discrimination
> We always discriminate between right and wrong

When you use first person pronouns, I assume that you're talking about
individuals. And individuals may discriminate in ways that the state
may not.

> But when the Government seeks to redefine
> what is wrong and what is right...

Better to say that the government seeks to define what is legal and what
is not. And in doing so, it must follow certain guidelines.

> We say it has some hidden agendas that we are ready to oppose.

In the case of marriage equality, the agenda isn't hidden at all. You
may not like the proposals to change the law, and in the US you have a
strong-protected right to oppose the change. Who says otherwise?

No, pagans believe anything and nothing at the same time.
It is another form of atheism or secularism. Consequently
the Government that gives rise is a pagan Government
and its Laws pagan Law

Because "depravity" is simply your homophobic view of things based on
your benighted religious beliefs. In the US, laws must be secular; they
may have no religious purpose.

Sometimes the ethical and the legal coincide, usually with respect to
hurting other people. Thus murder is against both moral and criminal
codes. Homosexuality, not so much. When two homosexuals marry, they
don't hurt anybody or anything else.

Except maybe your feelings, which have no legal standing.

Sadly, no. The word "pagan" comes from the Latin word meaning a rustic.
Perhaps "rube" conveys better the contemptuous connotation. Paganism
came to refer to the local, ethnic religious beliefs opposed by the
established Abrahamic religions. "Heathen" and "infidel" have much the
same meaning.

> Consequently

This is nonsense, as your premise is wrong. In the US, all binding law
is secular, which is to say non-religious, based on neither Paganism nor
Christianity.

Homosexuality has always been regarded as a depravity
in every society under the SUN for thousands and thousands
years. Only in America some perverts are advocating
a NEW SOCIAL INGENEERING to legalize it under
the pretense of equality.

If it is not the definition that I provided then it is not the correct
one.
Paganism includes anismism, polytheism, spirit worship, idol worship,
reason worship... and so on and so on

First of all, that's nonsense. Secondly, the same can be said about

Read up on the legal concept of "Civil Death" sometime. Traditionally a wife pretty much stopped being an individual in law, and became a mere appendage to her husband.

Also try looking up the old custom of wife selling at Smithfields.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we've got a bit of an overpopulation problem, to the extent that a large part of the bio-sphere (especially the bits of interest to us) is close to collapse.

No xenophobic screeds about how these folks, Argentinians to Swedes, are
going to hell. Your claim is that only in the US do people advocate
marriage equality. Your claim is wrong.

The writers of the bible had an ax to grind, so anything they say must be
taken with a grain of salt. They were pushing their own religious beliefs,
and their bias is evident throughout the text.

Why would anyone care? If the two guys living next door to me are not
married, or if they are married, why would aI care any more than I would
care if the heterosexual coup,le who lived across the street were married or
not? Why on earth would it be either my business or in any way my concern?
And, in view of the fact that there is a seperate tax table for, "married
couples", shouldn't everyone be able to take advantage of that table? So, by
any legal standard, they should have the constitutional right to marry.

To any member of any religion, all the members of all the other religions
are, "Godless". Religion, in fact, is the personification of prejudice. The
world would be much better off without it. It is a fairy tale made up to
pacify children that got out of hand and became a pacifier for everyone who
should know better.

There are others, but the four I list should serve to prove your

I dn't doubt that they worship, but they have no idea if the worship is
valid.

This is the opinion of the Godless heathens...But we know that Idol
worship
is hardly a correct form of worship and as it breeds irrationality,
that scourge
that our Savior saved us from.

And isn't nativity scenes, crosses, and pictures of angels with wings and
other such things in all the "main stream" religious palaces also, "idols"?
If not, then what, exactly distinguishes idols from these other religious
symbols that people put on their mantles and in their houses of worship?

You need to read what I said more carefully. I said that those who claim
to worship what they call the True God have no evidence that what they
are worshipping is indeed a true god. I don't question that they
worship.

I do. In my entire 77 years, I have never seen or heard of any God
whatsoever, nor ever seen or heard of any evidence that such an entity
exists anywhere at any time. So, I am forced to question it just as I
question any ridiculous childish fairy tale which is patently impossible no
matter how many idiots say they believe in it. They all have, of course, a
big motive for wanting to believe in it, since it tells them that they will
live forever, and any normal human being knows that this is impossible. Most
reasonable people donlt believe in something just because it would be nice
to believe in it. Most require some evidence wstronger than that. but the
religious seem to have a belief system that is skewed by their desire rather
than their ability to reason.
