"Then why not three or five or seventeen": marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/1918.html
Then why not three or five or seventeen". Our moderator asks: if it is fair for. Two men or two women to marry, then why not three or five or seventeen? Again, this is just polygymy bating, and not very well connected. The missing connection is:. A marriage = 1 man 1 woman. One of each. And, since human societies, even Americans, have recognized non-monogamous marriages (Ok, sorry. Utah) this argument is just trying to scare the masses, for no good reason. Are you hurt in any way if I have 2 partners?

Sure, I'm a n00b, but I've read what's been said already. I love to debate, and I love GLBT issues so. yes. I'm in.). Marriage isn't for each generation to define" - no, it really shouldn't have to be. Yet, what marriage constitutes, and what it MEANS changes by culture and over time. Y-no He got in trouble for sending a man to the front lines of a conflict so he would die and David could marry the wife. Marriage didn't used to mean love. That's actually a fairly recent idea. Marriage might've be...Marri...

"Homosexuality: Opposing Viewpoints": marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/925.html
I wrote this last year. I had to write an 8-10 page paper on a controversial subject and argue both sides, and then give my opinion at the end. Of course I chose gay rights. And if so, should it be outlawed to share a bed with a partner of the same sex or for two people of the same gender to marry? The American government continues to try to separate Church from State, but the line between the two is blurred especially in the topic of sodomy and gay and lesbian marriages. Over the years, homosexuality wa...

A slap in the face: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/3201.html
ৡ Dannielle. .ৡ .* `*. . (. ৡ Dannielle. .ৡ .* `*. . A slap in the face. I have been a bad moderator. I haven't posted anything counteracting any of the arguments. Perhaps it's because I have no good argument except that "homosexuality is wrong based upon the Bible." But not everyone feels the same as I do or believes that the Bible is absolute Truth; the foundation for all laws. I just want you all to know my stance on the issue and that not all Christians are crazy fundamentalist homosexual-haters.

Are you sick of getting jerked around?: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/2583.html
Are you sick of getting jerked around? This post is dedicated to gullible Americans everywhere. Are you tired of getting jerked around like a psychotic marionette yet? The Gay Marriage "issue" in politics is very well known to be a Republican ploy to motivate people to go to the polls and vote for them. No, so they've got to come up with something to distract from the real issues. Hmmm. If you weren't going to vote anyway, and you did because of a gay marriage amendment, you've been duped. Faith and Poli...

An old favorite of mine...: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/2518.html
An old favorite of mine. REAL reasons Americans are opposed to gay marriage. 1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. 2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. 3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

Faith and Politics: Why we cannot legislate morality: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/3027.html
Faith and Politics: Why we cannot legislate morality. A funny thing happened to me at work today. After being away for so long, I thought about my friends and respectful sparring-mates here at marriage debate. Very fondly. And I felt like I wanted to help you out. I began thinking back to my days as a sunday-school teacher, thinking back to my days as a child essayist for a local religious newspaper. And two scriptures in particular stuck out. :. Romans 14 "2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything,...

Bible "against" gays-- A religion student's take: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/1740.html
Bible "against" gays- A religion student's take. Our dear moderator has offered 4 passages of Biblical text as to why homosexuality is wrong. Ignoring that 4/5 of the world is non-Christian, ignoring that religion should not dictate governmental policy, all 4 instances of comdemnation of homosexuality are weak at best. It is important that anyone who feels pressured to be homophobic on the basis of identifying as Christian should understand this. Genesis 19:1-13 The story of Sodom. Leviticus 18:22 "You s...

Look, now there are... what, four?: marriage_debate
http://marriage-debate.livejournal.com/2274.html
Look, now there are. what, four? This community is severely lacking in members, and I think it has a lot of potential. So hullo, here I am. I thought the marriage debate could do with a voice that is not Christian. A different perspective. The first question I want to raise (although before I do, I just want to commend papa will on being totally awesome) is this:. Why do Christians think quoting a book at me that I don't believe in will change my mind? Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.
