    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    Hum... I'm not entirely sure I understand where you're going with this. What text did I cite that was modeled after the 14th amendment? I was referring to the CA constitution, not the US constitution. Futhermore, if you were talking about the 14th ammendment. I'm not sure that analogous...

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    I was actually thinking it might clear up legal problems because now we can utilize all the precedent set forth by existing marriage laws rather than have to do everything as new under the domestic partner heading. Also... i wonder if it would help alleviate legacy/lingering sexism that still...

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    I'm not sure this makes sense to me. When a book describes something that is true or partially true... that makes the entire book correct/accurate? The Harry Potter books mention that most muggles don't believe in magic and they won't ever. It uses the names of some real cities in england...

    As It Was In The Days Of Sodom...

    hum... thanks for the repeat... Just because something is intended or suited best for one task/activity, doesn't mean it is against something else. The internet was originally for sharing education/research results... but now we use it for forum, games, chatting, shopping etc.... if it was...

    Should Government Get Out of the Marriage Business?

    Despite attending many weddings... I don't actually know... will a church/temple/synagogue perform a marriage without a marriage license from the state it is performed in? Technically... does a religious ceremony without the state certificate carry any legal weight at all right now? Are the two...

    As It Was In The Days Of Sodom...

    Yes... I don't think I've seen anything from the 4 gospels yet. I saw some Paul stuff... unless I missed it, then forgive me. If you could go over it again, that would be great. Other than a the textual evidence you mention... any real world evidence for its evil?

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    Yes yes... we all know what she meant. We all know the biology. It's a phrase that we use that isn't entirely specific, but most people know what is meant. The difference is between who contributed to this child biologically and who gave this child the love and support to raise the child. Do...

    Should Government Get Out of the Marriage Business?

    I'm almost entirely ok with this and I think this was one of my first thoughts when I began thinking about the gay marriage issue. Why not have anything that is done outside of a religious institution called a civil marriage with all the rights, legal benefits and responsibilities. However...

    Remind me at which part Jesus (not paul) taught against homosexuality?

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    If I could make a request, I would still like you to make up your statement about the bill that was passed (SB777). How exactly does it require gay education? Please explain your interpretation of the bill (beyond what was stated in the news outlet you mentioned).

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    Who defines the correct definition of marriage? What exactly makes a marriage correct? Sex? Gender? Children? Potential for children? Love? Companionship? Religion? ... i'll leave this open for discussion. What happens when two parts of your governing text conflict? Which one is correct...

    Gay Marriage in CA - Changes in Marriage?

    yes my friend, the article is real and the bill truly exists and has been signed into law. However, the article's interpretation of the bill as well as you're own understanding of it are faulty. Unless there is a different bill that I'm unaware of...

    As It Was In The Days Of Sodom...

    Agreed... male and male are dysfunctional as a reproductive pair. No one is going to argue with you on that one. However, as complex social creatures, human beings have ceased to rule their lives by reproductive compatibility or ability. Hence the mention of non-reproducing heterosexual...
