Besides, what harm does it do? I can see the Christian Viciousness movement flogging this particular dead horse, but in a world where most people don't know the names of the people two houses down the block or on the next floor of the apartment building, what those people are doing doesn't set a very important example.
We ought to be incensed about the courts getting above themselves, but that's another issue.
I see that as the same issue. I think this is not just a Christian homophobe position, but a mainstream American position supported in excess of 70% of the people. If the GOP can capitalize on this, they can gain in the Senate, stop the filibustering and fill the court with decent non-activist Judges.
I see a Republican landslide comming in the NE. The press can spin this issue, but the polls say 89% of Americans are against gay marrage.
All those who are living in Mass. have to live in a gay hell forever. They're not going to be pleased by what they're about to witness. The demons will be urinating in the streets, and mothers will have to guard their children. It won't happen within a week, but by next year it will be the sodomote pit of vileness.
Things are about to change. The spirt of morality usually not found in Mass. will grow like never before.
The Lord works in strange ways. He's setting them up for their fall.
Well, IMO, the family, which is based on heterosexual marriage, is really the cornerstone of society, always has been, in any society. That is why heterosexual marriage has always, throughout the history of man, enjoyed a special status.
Granting the same status to homosexual marriage may damage the special status of traditional marriage, since it's suddenly no longer quite as special, and in turn, damage the family, and therefore, society.
What good does it do?
WOW!!! What a vicious, hateful, thing to say about Christians.
Depends on what you call harm. I believe it would be of benefit to society to have a nationally recognized definition of marriage. For example, it would allow transfer of spousal insurance coverage when one moves between states.
It also sets a societal standard. For example, where is the 'marital' line? Can one man marry three women? Can a woman marry a dog? You may laugh about those examples, but just 20 years ago, people would have laughed at the idea of legalized gay marriage.
