It doesn't matter what your country was founded on. All that matters is that it is now secular. You do not live in a theocracy, so you have no right to base your laws on religion.
If you aren't saying it's natural then you need to refute the points I made about science saying it is natural. If you can't refute them then you can't claim it's not natural.
Even if those people and organizations are trying to infiltrate the church, which I don't really agree with, but let's assume they are, how does that give you the right to prohibit gay marriage? Two wrongs don't make a right. Be the bigger man. Let them have their rights.
I never said people couldn't use religion as a backing point. It's just not a very solid or reputable one for obvious reasons. Something being old or tradition is not a decent argument. It's meaningless.
You are keeping them from having equal rights so you ARE denying them happiness. You are denying harmless adults rights that would make them a lot happier!!

-When I said "children" i was not referring to you. I was refering to whoever made that quote I was replying to.
-I beg to differ
-It gives us a right because we have a right to defend our institution. lol "be a bigger man"? thats not how it works. If the church is infiltrated, nothing but bad can happen, and thats something that has been proven over and over in history.
-Again, thats your opinion. And 5.6 billion people disagree.
I gotta say I am done with this topic. I have posted my views, so they are up there for people to read, therefor my job here is done.
Khandra- It was nice debating this with you. Many people I debate this topic (and other topics) with have a warped view on history and on how things should be, such as the person who claimed "priests should be forced to marry gays". But it is clear to me that you don't have warped and twisted views, that you are someone who just genuinely cares about individual people. Keep an open mind, and don't let the media corrupt it
