That’s exactly my point. Marriage is an institution made by God, and should be treated as so at all times, not just a slogan to be trotted out as the reason to oppose homosexual marriages or polygamy.

Otherwise, they people who are fine with divorce but want to draw the line at gay marriage are no different from the homosexual marriage advocates who wants to draw the line before polygamy. They have no ground to stand on.

“Otherwise, they people who are fine with divorce...” Once again, a sweeping generalization.

You falsely equate the institution with an abhorrent lifestyle. There are far more individuals whom uphold the sacred institution of marriage than you accuse otherwise of “hypocrisy”.

Your circular reasoning fails to identify the nature of the problem behind a redefinition of marriage.

In examining your “reasoning”, I really have to wonder whether or not you are gay or a polygamist. I do not say this in a flippant way, either.

“They have no ground to stand on” expresses a lot. In other words, there is no legitimate argument against a redefining of marriage when “the opponents” thereof disregard traditional marriage vows. This is a crock. To say that the high rate of divorce in this country is the fault of “these” individuals whom you claim are hypocrites is baseless.

I know far more individuals (conservatives) whom live in committed marriages and uphold that institution than those whom you supposedly accuse.
