marriage

So now, I'm arguing with a fella at Court TV who is trying to say that the moral majority has a right and duty to legislate against behavior that they percieve as a threat to their way of life. If anyone is interested in joining the fray, check it out...

Recently, a local judge overturned the state Preservation of Marriage Act, ruling that it was Unconstitutional. His summary was very eloquent and rational, and I applaud that. The ruling has been stayed, however, pending a State Supreme Court ruling, and the inevitable side-taking by various...

As a parent of two young children, I'm not looking forward to them getting married. The cost of weddings seems to grow every year, now costing thousands of pounds. On top of that, the stress of a wedding, and having to meet up with all those relatives I'd rather avoid just doesn't bear...

Todays the first day for same sex marriage certificates to be issued. Funny thing I did not know. Mass has a 3 day waiting period for marriage. Not for guns. WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS I SAY!!!!! (You can get a waiver ofthe waiting period bythe way.)

Backers of Constitutional Gay Marriage Ban Change It to Allow States to Recognize Civil Unions Emphasis added. So it's just empty word-play now. To me it means they know gay marriage is going to happen, but still need to throw a bone to their constituents. Please click the link before commenting.

Because someone had to do it. And because the line won't allow a longer title.

For the most part, I've stayed out of the gay marriage debates. It’s one of those issues where those who have made up their minds will not budge, so debate seems pointless. But since that describes almost all issues, that excuse doesn’t really hold. Gay marriage? I’m all for them. Completely...

Some time ago a guy asked me to write for his new politics website. I accepted, but he didn't respond. Then a few weeks ago he wrote me again. Seems that he put up an article by my arch-nemesis from the CHUD board. Now after reading his article The Sanctitiy of Marriage, saying that gay...

Can the US afford to offend Islamic values, and provoke more terrorism, by legalizing gay marriage?

I realize I'm being a bit redundant in my post here, but I just thought I should reiterate the symmetry that exists between the numbers 1 though 7, as well as the inherent synchronicity involved with the Book of Revelation. From the thread, Split Brain ...

. . . we should at lest do it right. Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. Genesis 29:17-28. Secondly, marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. II Samuel 5:13 and II Chronicles 11:21. A marriage shall...

I came across this outstanding post by davebuck on christianforums.com: --------------------------- A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5) B. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in...

Got your attention, did it? OK, TECHNICALLY, he hasn't been arrested; he's been charged. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=12&u=/ap/20040302/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_new_york_4 "NEW PALTZ, N.Y. - The village's mayor was charged Tuesday with 19 criminal counts for...

This is very strange and I have no idea what the legal ramifications are but... It seems that same sex couples are already legally married and here is how: They marry as a man and woman, then the man (for example) has a sex change operation. In California, I know they reissue a driver's...

Here's my take, only half-though-out. Government shouldn't have any hand in Marriage in the first place. Marriage is an institution, and a religious one. When our government missed this fact and became involved in the legislation of some parts of marriage - in order to promote a more healthy...

First, a disclaimer: There are a lot of threads and posts dealing with issues related to this, so this question might have already been answered in spades. But I sure don't want to read through everything thoroughly and come up empty handed. I've skimmed through and haven't seen this question...

My boss, who is a die-hard Christian, sent me this from one of his Christian websites: There is something twistedly ironic about all this. Mr. Colson is using Abraham Lincoln's defiance of the Supreme Court to push for freedom of slaves to support his that our current president should defy...

The other day at work we were discussing the idea, put forth by certain gay marriage foes, that if we allow gays to get married then we would have to allow bigamy, incest and a host of other unsavory marriages. Which would lead to the collapse of Western society (according to certain people)...

The comparison comes up alot in the gay marriage debate. But are they really that comprable? Interacial marriage laws were specifically written for the purpose of excluding mixed marriages. Out of spite against minorites. Were most marriage laws were written out of the traditional marriage...

This is for you, Mr. "we have to protect the pillars of civlization". You know who you are. A. We don't have to protect pillars of civilization. For instance, think about trying to pass a law that mandates hard work and punishes laziness. B. America was founded by Christians who setup the...

My opinion - NO . . . but who asked me? I'm just trying to stir things up a little. Marriage, life-partner, soulmate, whatever. I am VERY skeptical about marriage being a realistic institution. As romantic of a notion of spending the rest of your life with only one other person is, I really...

Just because I have been thinking about all the benefits of marriage, I've decided that all marriage benefits are unfair. For the sake of fairness, I want to marry myself, and get half of all the marriage benefits(since there is just the one of me). What do you think?;)

Hello all. . . I was wondering how to respond to the following question, "Why shouldn't you let a brother and sister be married who really love each other? Or a man and his dog? Or a 21 year old and a 6 year old?" I'm trying to see all sides of this debate, and was wondering what a logical...

There is a lot of talk about protecting the sanctity of marriage, but what does that mean? (Obviously, I'm going at this within the context of gay marriage) So, what makes marriage holy or sacred? Based on the general themes of most religions, one would think that it is things like love...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040114/us_nm/bush_marriage_dc Ah, this sounds like a good use of my money when the deficiet is $450 Billion+ ....:rolleyes: .if this were a Clinton thing, all the Bush lovers would be screaming bloody murder about Govt. interference and big spending.

I thought conservatives were all supposed to be strict constructionist guys whose guiding compass was supposed to be the constitution (at least thats what they say about their supreme court nominees). If you are a liberal, you make up new interpretation of the consititution to fit you liberal...

First of all, to make something clear: I oppose gay marriages, yes; but here, I am not opposing the fact of gay marriages (whether it is good or bad) but the LOUSY ARGUMENTS used to support the claim that it is a good idea. Let us, first of all, seperate the LEGAL from the VERBAL. What we're...

Wouldn't it be un-constitutional for there to be any sort of law preventing gay marriage? There are to arguments against it, neither one can really stand on its own and make a legitimate point though. First we have all sorts of religious texts. Now we can't put something into law because of...
