Website title:

...how can I say this politely, so you won;t be offended..as offended as I am when you quote this nonsense to me....let me put it this way; if you have an original thought, or one more nearly your own, let us have it and have at it...but could you refrain from quoting me the words of an institution I have no use nor respect for...kay?

You asked for a source. You said:

...how can make a blanket statement like, "religion gives a spiritual aspect to marriage", without feeling the need to back that up with some evidence? Do you see? Do you see how you take your beliefs for facts?

Therefore, I provided a bible quote and a link.

>...it is already ILLEGAL to marry more than one person at a time...you tell me why you think our laws will change all of a sudden to allow me to marry ten wives at a time...

I didn't say “all of a sudden”.

>...what have laws in other countries have to do with laws in this country? If polygamy is legal in other countries how come America hasn't adopted them? Why is it still illegal here, even though it is legal there?

I don't know. Where does the notion that marriage should be legally confined to only two persons come from? How about Religion?

To the State, NOT to partners, it is indeed a legal contract...nothing spiritual about it...it is a CONTRACT. And Gay people want the right to enter into that CONTRACT. Period.

Yes that's what I was saying. I was talking about the legal aspect of marriage, not personal.

if lawmakers want to legalize something some day, the Supreme Court of that day will have to pass on it...and if the People are content to make those choices...they will. You can't control the future...but that's a non-argument. The issue is TODAY, not "some day".

When posed this topic, I had in mind “some day”, not today. This topic is directly linked to the “absolute versus relative morality” debate.

>...you are a born-again.

Nope, Roman Catholic, or “Chaldean”.

>...what Gay people want to do is none of your business, nor the business of the church or your god....end of story. It's between them and our/their Constitution....so butt out.

Okay. Next topic. What's in the menu? How about one of these: Atheism versus all religions (later) - Capital punishment – Abortion - Free market system versus controlled economy - Syrian “uprising” - Cloning (Sounds cool) - Animal rights - Atheists rights...etc
