Yeah. Procreation ain't rocket science. But raising younguns, now that's a trial. Or so I hear. My son, Max doesn't give me any trouble, though. That's him in the picture next to me.

Plain and simple, of course it is wrong, it is against nature. It doesn't make psychological sense. Even King Solomon or David (little unsure) said "there are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand... the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on the rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a woman." (Prov 30: 18, 19)

The real main reason the goverment is against same sex marriage has nothing to do with morals or religion. They do not want to pay social security benefits to an even larger amount of people.
There are some countries that have now implemented it, and in Holland they have found a loop hole in the law, which allows them to commit polygamy – that's for both sexes too, not just male. A man and his wife allowed under a civil ceremony her to marry her gay lady. He didn't object. Hey under the civil law you can marry as many people as you like, so long as they agree. .... It's gonna cause problems.

This is pretty much Natural Fallacy, with a Bible quote when non-Bible evidence was required.

How does it not make psychological sense?

Then when they make legislation this time around, they need to make it clear that its between two consenting people.

Unless they can provide sound argument to include polygamy.

What exactly does this mean "against nature"? That phrase always makes me think of defying gravity or walking through walls. Most, I think, who employ this phrase mean "that which does not produce offspring". Is this correct? Also, how doesn't homosexuality make "psychological sense"??

Opposites attract. Male and female are opposites. Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet. That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law.

" Opposites attract. Male and female are opposites. Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet. That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law. "

That was your argument for homosexuality being wrong. Homosexuality breaks this "natural law of nature", and because of that, you find homosexuality wrong.

The problem is, "natural law of nature" has been a bit ill defined. You could call all kind of things natural laws of nature, because in nature, the cause can only have one effect. For example:

"if you jump up, you will immediatly fall to the ground"

Flying, spacetravel, etc, all break this law. Are they wrong?

"If you get cancer, you die quite soon afterwards."

Curing cancer breaks this law. Is it wrong?

I could make up a small bible full of other examples, that could all be called "natural laws of nature", depening on how you define a natural law of nature.

Yep, that's the law of gravity -- no it's not wrong but the consequences can sure hurt.

Mystman said:

No another law supersedes it -- it's called the law of aerodynamics. So the law isn't broken.


Mystman: Talking about laws, there are spiritual laws to consider as well as these physical laws. Have you thought on that?
