No it wasn't.

-No I am not saying that. I am not really a science guy, so I just don't like to use "It is not natural" as a major argument of mine.

But I don't get why someone who NATURALLY loves someone shouldn't get married.

-Thats fine, at least you're willing to admit that you don't fully understand what I was trying to say. Allow me to try and explain it again. I think the whole 'Gay Marriage Movement' is trying to change the church. I don't really buy that individual gays who just want to get married are trying to change the church, so I agree with you there. However, I feel that liberal politicians (not exactly JUST the dems), and corrupt organizations (ACORN/ ACLU) are USING this struggle of the gay people in order to achieve an agenda of theirs that involves infiltrating the church. I could go more into what that agenda is, but all that matters is that 'infiltration of the church' is part of that agenda. Thats why I say that people can be gay as they want, just stay out of our churches, that way we don't have to worry about groups/politicians manipulating the gay rights movement for their personal agenda.

But marriage is no long a religious term, it's a legal term that gives you benefits

-People can't use religion as a backing point? And this is your decision? Ok, well there are 2 billion Christians, 1.2 billion Muslims, 1.4 Billion Buddhists, 1 Billion Hindus, and 200 Million Jews who disagree with you. And all those religions denounce gay marriage. Which reminds me, which one of you children said in a earlier post something along the line of "Religion is no longer the majority!"..... 5.6/6 billion people is not the majority?

It's in the constitution:
"
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
No law respecting a religion, i.e. not using religion as a backing point.

- And your last paragraph. This argument is not about love. I have clearly established that, and I have never said that "they don't love each other" or that they shouldn't "be with each other", so given that, I do feel pretty good about myself.

Then why shouldn't they be allowed to marry?
