Victrixa said:Total moral decadence, ungodliness and the irreverance to disobey God's perfect precepts. An utter mockery of our Lord. How more horrible can that get?

Gopher said:Although I am equally as outraged as you are about what is happening to such a sacred, and God sanctioned union, we must remember that not everybody believes in the God who we follow. As such it is impossible to gain any ground using that argument alone. There are, however, plenty of social, legal, and political arguments that can be used that, even if no one changes their opinion because of them, will still serve to give others something to think about. It is the same for those who state "I can't believe those religious nuts are trying to force their religion on us.". That argument gives us nothing to think about. No new perspective to consider. However if they state what they believe to be the social, legal, or political benefits of ssm, we can go away having learned something new, even if we still don't agree with them.

I understand that there are people who are deeply against this legislation.... but tonight is one of the first times in a long time that I am proud to be Canadian (and will fly the maple leaf for the first time in.... ages). While I know that my opinion differs greatly from that of some of my CF peers, I see tonight as a victory for justice and equality... and it is in that spirit that I celebrate tonight....
