One of the rights men are endowed by their Creator (God) with is not the right to marry someone of the same gender.
No, but the “persuit of happiness” is. And to some, that means marrying a partner of the same gender!
They want to remove God, because as Dostoevski had Ivan Karamazov claim, “If there is no God, everything is permitted.”
That’s not true. If you base your morals on an aincent text of unreliable sources, you are in for a lot of trouble. Take God out of the picture, and everything does not fall apart.
We (athiests, or most athiests) base our ethics on the potential harm (or lack thereof) that arises from a particular action or lack of action. Simplicity at it’s finest. Not everything is permitted - things that cause harm are not permitted in a legal system based on those ethics. Since gay marriage causes no harm, it is permitted.
If they meet this Deity, a prediction that at best is highly improbable.
And you base your supposition on?
The fact that the evidence to suggest that there is a God is flakey at best. Christians themselves cannot even agree on what the Bible really says. God is just a figment of the imagination that has been passed down through the centuries through a campaign of brainwashing to try to force people to fall in line. Only now, more people are starting to realise this fact, and start to actually ask questions and put this superstition to test. And those that do completely open their eyes and their minds come to the realization that a belief in a supernatural all-powerful entity is simply foolish.
Here you are telling me about your version of God, but on the other hand I have Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and a whole plathora of other ‘religions’ trying to tell me that their God (or Gods) is or are the right one(s) and that their aincent text is the more reliable of all the given options. So how do you answer that? How can you convince me that the God you talk about exists and why I should denounce all other ‘proof’ of other Gods? And even the proof that God doesn’t exist? How do you answer the unanswerable questions? Why does God not help amputees? There have been claims that prayre has cured cancer, and that we should accept this as “proof” that prayre works. But if we all, every single one of us went home tonight and asked through prayre for God to heal an amputee, that person’s limb will NOT grow back, now matter how hard we pray.
And the answer “God works in mysterious ways” or “God has a plan for all of us” or variations thereof are simply not good enough. Some of us need proof. Rock solid, hard evidence. Why should I ‘have faith’ that God is going to punish me for ‘sinning’ and not have faith that the Invisible Pink Unicorn on my shoulder is not going to whoop your *** for speaking against gay marriage?
“That that can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof”
Second we have Nature we are designed by nature to be heterosexual, think about this a little more, two men together having sex means that a man is penetrating the opening designed by nature to expel feces or in other words the opening made to expel death and decay from the body and this produces unhealthy results and many times death
How do you KNOW that nature intended us all to be heterosexual? Does that mean that the fact that homosexuals exist demonstrates a fallacy in nature? Can you really claim to know enough about nature to know for sure that homosexuals don’t exist for some other purpose? Nature has a wonderful way of balancing itself. Heterosexual sex creates life. Should we create as much life as possible? Are there not enough people in the world? Are we under populated? Do we have more than enough resources to cope with these extra people? No. So how do you know nature is not using homosexuality to balance the population crisis we are suffering, or some other similar hypothesis?
Also, were you unaware that many gay men practice other forms of sex besides anal? Were you unaware that anal sex is not limited to just gay men? What about gay women? Does anal sex -always- produce ‘unhealthy’ results? What if the partners practise safe sex?
Common sense tells us these truths. We have to commit our reason to the toilet in order to accept homosexuality as being proper
You obviously lack the common sense to realise that the “truths” are not truths at all, just narrow-minded assumptions!
The behavior of homosexual persons in general gives evidence that they themselves are insecure in their decision to be gay
This has nothing to do with a result of being gay - it is to do with the fact that society is hostile towards homosexuals.
