No, your old dictionary didn't lie. You are lying now.

if your opinion is that you are against gays being called married,
that's an opinion, not a lie.

If you say it is because it is not a valid use of the word "marriage",
that is a lie.

If you are against the use of the word, that can be your opinion and
not a lie.

If you say gays are 'hijacking' the word, there is nothing to steal,
since this was it's usage back before it was a french word, and long
before it transformed to use in the english language.

So THAT'S a lie.

no, she wanted to fight back. Then she'd get pissed
off and frustrated when I stopped.

VERY confusing.

She was talking about consent. It's not clear to you
because you tried to conflate gay marriage with pedophelia
much like Mormons conflate horses and tapirs.

We don't have a better word for the unusual
sexual behavior where someone desires to be
forcibly taken. I think that is because many
men believe that forcing a woman to sex is
generally what she wants anyway, especially
when men are aroused.

But that's the way men in power get to have it.
They get to limit use of the word marriage
and expand the use of the word rape to mean
whatever suits them at the time.

I see. Nazis go to Jewish newsgroups, Fundies go to atheist newsgroups.
I suppose the underlying motive of trolls crosses all boundaries.

How is that seeing heterosexuals as "slightly weird"?

Never mind all that. As an atheist, what's your basis (if any) for

You have already shown us that you are a bigot. Just because you refuse
to acknowledge that you are, even though your posts reek of bigotry does
not mean that anyone will believe you when you deny that you are a

Neither do heteros that don't marry. The context was marriage and DOMA
which forbid the federal government from acknowledging same sex
marriage.

You have earned your reputation as a bigot.

No, but if it were about procreation, we would not allow couples who
cannot have children to marry and we would force divorces on those who
do not have children once they are not able to have them.

The procreation argument is a pathetic last gasp of the anti-gay bigots.
It is an empty argument that is nothing but a joke.

Of course you don't want my answers, I keep pointing out that you are an

No, it's not. Trying to suggest that procreation is irrelevant is the
