No need to shout. You certainly won't convince anyone with those tactics.

Marriage and Civil Unions are very different. Civil Unions are private contracts between two individuals.

Marriage is a sacrament, not a contract.

Not if it involves public money...

Marriage is a sacrament, not a contract.

Within a church setting it's a sacrament. Within the legal structure of a state it is a vital family relationship with extensive legal rights and obligations primarily ordered to ensure the procreation and welfare of children. It has been so from the beginning.

Gays can already get their "unions" blessed in a sacramental sense in any liberal church of their choosing. It should remain that way. None of the rest of us shouid be threatened with sanctions by the government because we refuse to accomodate the "sacrament" of gay marriage.

There is neither a moral nor a logical equivalence between gay marriage and a traditional marriage--even a childless traditional marriage. The latter is the backbone of our society; the former is the brokeback of our society.

Marriage is a sacramant, only if you are a christian.

I know lots of folks who were married before the justice of the peace, they are still man and wife, its still a marriage.

All it is is a different way to word it. same benefits etc.
They simply found another way to make it acceptable-its lib speak.

BTW, if you know gay folks, they still consider it a marriage, its just not called that legally. and they do get "married" in churches and call it a sacrament.

doesnt matter what the government wants to call it, or the left or whoever. its still the same thing with a different label.

Like buying kraft mac and cheese, but if you buy the "no name" its still mac and cheese.

i dont know whats so hard about that.
