First off, why the "call out" to a crew? Is it to drum-up support for your error?

Why don’t you head back to DU where you belong.

Because I'm not a liberal or Democrat. I'm a conservative. Apparently one that can read as well...

Or better yet, start a vanity thread about your views to dissolve the legal entity of marriage. That would be fun.

Because that's not what I've ever advocated here. It's what you want to believe I wrote, but nowhere near the truth.

You have shown no logic, no morality and therefore the joke is on you.

Really? Can you point out where? You came in here, busting my chops, and added nothing to the argument. Did not address my comments at all in terms of logic or morality, just your own ignorance and example of lack of reading comprehension.

So, how about doing the conservative thing and showing me where my logic is in error?

If you are so thin-skinned as to be offended by ‘noob’ then the Religion Forum isn’t for you at all.

It's not the term "n00b" that's the problem - I was called that much earlier here at FR. It's that you said it in a clearly mocking, condescending manner. It wasn't said in the love of Christ now, was it? And isn't that what the Religion forum is about?

Doing away with government sanctioned marriage is doing away with marriage.

Really? Explain that. How is it we need a State to recognize a religious ceremony? How is my commitment to another - in front of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and the Lord God Himself - only valid if the Government sanctions it?

I'd be VERY curious to see what you say about that...

LOL. You are not off to a good start here. I will bet money I will be here long after you get the zot.

I'll do you one better - I've pinged the Religion Moderator on this post as well. If he can find that I've called for elimination of marriage - and not just elimination of State-recognition of marriage - I'll ask that he immediately "zot" me.

Failing that, if I'm still here in a day, I think the Christian thing for you to do would be to apologize, and consider how you behave in front of your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Lastly, it is 100% Biblical to confront and correct a brother in Christ when they are going astray in there walk with Christ, and attacking and condemning others without cause.

Well since you decided to ping me I'll answer you.

In your post #26 you stated So do away with Government-recognized marriage altogether. Allow civil contracts between any consenting parties and be done with it..

You have called for the replacement of marriage with civil contracts - with no definition of "marriage". Therefore to the observer - you have called for the elimination of marriage via replacement with "civil contracts". It is not missed that you stated any consenting parties you've opened the door to gay marriage as well as polygamy, polyamorism, etc.

You further expressed "interest" in not legalizing marriage at all (post 22).

Finally in post 18 you stated Just more proof that Government should get out of the marriage business altogether. You legitimize things by officially recognizing them - so don’t recognize any of them.

So you are advocating ceasing to recognize any marriage. Civil unions are not marriages - thus you are advocating an elimination of marriage. You see, your arguments above do not recognize the Christian definition in favor of a 'civil union'.

I have pointed out three citations from you where you have done exactly that - advocating the dissolution of the legal entity of marriage. For all your bluster, the challenge is correct, not in error. You have shown that not only have you advocated the dissolution of the legal entity of marriage, you advocated a non-Christian basis of marriage.
