I have discovered the one question gay rights proponents explode at when I ask them a question.
You see, whenever the Bible or religion is bought up, gay rights advocates already have "ready made" retorts that they will hurl at you, as well as the prerequisite "bigot," "homophobe" and "hater."
Then use logic to defeat them.
How?
Thanks for asking.
Merely pose this question to them:
Is marriage a "right" or a "privilege"?
How can a "right" be entirely dependent on the consent of another human being?
I want to marry Kate Upton, the model.
If she says NO to me, is my "right" being denied?
If there are millions of unmarried people, and unmarried not by choice, but by bad luck or other circumstances (illness, accident) are their "rights" being denied by being straight and single?
Life is not about "fair." Equality is almost a communistic term. Life will never be equal. There are people in terrible poverty, and people living in gleaming mansions.
Gays cannot marry? Guess what...many straight people who want a spouse are not so lucky either.
So, is marriage truly a right? Is it a right like voting? NO. You don't need another person to vote. Or to drive. Or to own a home.
Life is not fair. Get it through your thick skulls, liberals.
Name another right that includes the consent of another human being (not a government body that affect the right to vote and drive).
The entire first amendment, which gives you the freedom of speech and religion but no guarantee of an audience or that the church will want to put up with you. All of your personal relationships are a right with the other people being able to consent, you have a right to friends but they have a right to not like you, you have a right to a job but they have a right to not hire you. It’s that whole “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” thing, you have a right to pursue happiness but you don’t have a right to CATCH it.
