I think that the concept of "original sin" is a response to the havoc sometimes caused by human nature. When one is waring with a neighboring tribe, doesn't it make sense to think, "What is wrong with those people?" Original sin is, I feel, an explanation for why humans are capable of doing bad...

(bolded section is thread title) I think that prostitution was made illegal basically for religious reasons. I think that there are some reasons against it (spread of disease, pimps abusing prostitutes and clients abusing prostitutes) those reasons would basically be eliminated if it were made...

How is the "fertility argument" any different from the "reproductive potential argument"? Infertile straight engaged couples also have no "reproductive potential" with one another but you don't advocate denying marriage to them. And there is no legal requirement that two adults seeking to marry...

(Bolded bit is the thread title.) I think that not only is is moral to push for more birth control in Africa - it is very necessary. Properly using condoms helps to cut down on the spread of HIV.

While Caturday might come only once a week, it is always the right time for Penguins:

Jesus, the Christ, did not hold to the Old Laws (of Judaism) when they got in the way of important things - He was willing to walk more than was "allowed" to heal a sick person. He told us that if our ox gets stuck in a pit on the sabbath, it was okay to pull it out. Christ gave us two new...

Well, one has to accept Jesus first - or they wouldn't be a Christian at all. But I think that one acts like a Christian when they just follow those two commandments, and I think that someone acts Christ-like by being loving to all other people and doing other things that Jesus, the Christ, did...

See I think that following those two Commandments (love God and love thy neighbor as thyself) is what makes someone a Christian. I think that trying to act like Jesus, the Christ, did during His lifetime is one makes one Christ-like.

That two consenting adults love one another and want to form a lasting legal bond with one another. That is what I think legal marriage is for, in this point in time. Sorry. I am, and I tend to assume that anyone who doesn't have a little flag from another country is as well. But, from a legal...

Thank you also for replying. It is nice to have a civil debate/discussion, and I really appreciate you participating in this one with me. *grin* How is what I said different from what you are trying to point out? Except that there isn't any evidence that...

No, you are saying that the arguments have been put forward. Debating, in my opinion, means that one must actually post evidence to back up one's point. If I had seen any, I would. Maybe you need to reflect on what legal union in the US entails and requires? But it (still) isn't required that...
