The phrase traditional marriage does not hinder my argument. It hinders THEIRS.

Pipes get bent....so should they.

I think government should get out of marriage and leave it to the churches. The "traditional definition" of (civil) marriage lost it's top argument with the 50% divorce rate.

As far as homo marriage goes, my church won't recognize it. I'll leave that to the Anglicans and Henry the VIII's descendants.

Traditional marriage is marriage in accordance with Natural Law. It is heterosexual.

Let the gub’mint allow “civil unions” and leave “traditional marriage” and holy matrimony to the church. Remember, like the libs say, “separation of church and state”!

Historically, social embracement of homosexuality and sexual deviancy has been the downfall of virtually every great civilization. We saw it with the ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire.

America is going to be the next great civilization to fall if we continue on our current liberal path to obscurity.

“Those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it.”

Excellent point! The Catholic Church has addressed this issue by standing on the condition of marriage as it is in the Catholic Church, as one of The Seven Sacraments.

Catholics enter into the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and always have. This means it is not a gimmic, produced out of thin air to meet a threat. It is ancient, in the Church.

Thus, reliance on the Freedom of Religion clause will enhance their defense of marriage on proven and crystal clear religious grounds.

Given their reluctance to recognize a Catholic divorce, they will be seen as quite credible on their serious view of “marriage”.

The regime has successfully made a mockery of all things “traditional”, already.

I don’t know about the term ‘traditional marriage’, but they definitely should stop using the word ‘gay’.

I try to avoid using the term ‘traditional marriage’ when I can.

It implies that there is some sort of non-traditional marriage, which there isn’t.

There is only one type of marriage, and everything else is just a delusional attempt to make disturbed people feel normal.

If I have a real Rolex watch (I wish) and you have a fake one that you got at a market somewhere, I don’t say that my Rolex is ‘traditional’.
No, my Rolex is a damn Rolex, and you’re an idiot with a fake piece of crap around your wrist.

This Wittgensteinian use of Language-—is to control “perceptions”. He who controls the words determine the “worldview”. The Marxist control over publications and media-—and schools (USDOE) is to control worldview-—erase the Individualism in Christianity-—to erase Christian Ethics. (to collapse culture).

In using the term-—”traditional” marriage-—you are stating that there are other legitimate types of “marriages”-—so you are normalizing the idea that there are all sorts of possible “marriages”. Same with putting “homosexual” in front of the word “marriage”-—it normalizes the irrational concept—esp. in children. What was odd—becomes normal after decades of using that term.

Same with the word “gender”. It is to open up the possibility of more than just boy and girl (now they have “its” in Sweden—genderless children) (irrational/removal of Reason/Natural Law(Science) from the minds of children.......it is like the word “partner”-—to destroy the concepts of wife and husband-—words eradicated in “new” children’s books decades ago to normalize the concept of non-married couples living together.

Whether you realize this or not-—worldview is created by language-—by the emotions tied to the words-—and they use “operate conditioning” on ALL CHILDREN in public school (embedded in the Billy Ayers curricula) and in TV shows-—which will elicit the “correct” emotion (one permitted) which is tied to a concept——like sodomy = Good/Right and Chrisitanity = Bigot/hater. These concepts are in their literature/questions/history lessons-—everything-—math “problems” and their “sex ed” which will destroy Virtue in children.

I am reading “Sex Education: the Final Plague”. It outlines how Sex Ed was inserted into public and private schools over the last 70 years—and by whom—evil Atheist/Sodomites/Satanists/Marxists—who all want to destroy Christian Ethics-—because it uses Natural Law and Reason and Individual Rights from God. Can’t have that in unjust/slave societies.

Literally-—Sex Ed during Latency and post-Latency erases morality in those exposed to “Sex Ed” which promotes perversions and unnatural ideas which they embed in children to normalize evil as good. Flips morality-—to the using of the body as an object (means to an end) which is slavery/prostitution/homosexuality-—all dehumanizes and leads to nihilism and the destruction of culture—for totalitarian state.

No

How does it make sense to abandon a term 100% of people understand?

Welcome to FR.

Make your point by publishing the entire article on FR. We don’t like leaving the compound to service alternate agencies.

I hope you have a good point to make concerning semantics.

The pimp and the poster, a mod lecture series thread.
It's a good place to start looking for "should I excerpt my BLatting OG or not?"information..
