Last time you tried this tactic I asked about the Taliban.
Just because someone *wants* their religious views to be reflected in their laws doesn't mean they should be. So once again you fail to make a point.
Please try again. As far as I'm concerned this is very much a black and white issue. Unless you can come up with ONE good reason to prohibit SSMs, you're done here.
Heh. Well the first part you are absolutely correct on, you asked about the Taliban and I was called away from the forum. I'll answer that first.
The Taliban wants to kill millions of people and inflict physical and economic harm on an enormous group of people regardless of their views or actions. Christians against SSM want the institution of marriage to remain what it was in the first place, before there were laws dictating it. That is the difference.
And actually just because someone wants their religious views to be reflected in their laws DOES mean they should be, if they live in a democratic country. Which we do. So I'm not sure what you're talking about... that's the way it works.
I'm aware that you think of this as a black and white issue, that is why I have been patient in explaining to you why people think as they do. I'm afraid I cannot, however, prevent you from listening to what I'm saying, or forcing you to be less closed-minded.
As far as continuing to claim that religious views and a democratic law process don't count as a reason, I'm not sure what to say. That's the reality that is occurring. That is why we vote, and loads of people vote with their God.
Last point, I'm not sure if you're a mod or what, threatening to kick me off the boards or whatever, but I don't think I've broken any rules. If your statement simply meant that you would ignore me if I didn't play by your rules, I think you're probably out of luck.
