As information for Jim Robinson, savagesusie, Admin Moderator and Religion Moderator


Addressed to the rest.


The last I heard, this is a discussion forum.

The other day on another thread I made the same proposal.

savagesusie responded much as she did in post 14 above.

The pertinent part of my response to her was:

-----------

Not too bad for a quick response. At least you’re thinking.

In reality, I would expect that debate on my proposal to get government out of marriage would include a discussion on why government is involved in it to start with. Properly done, that should inevitably lead to a conclusion that marriage is male-female in it’s essence, and should be supported as such by government.

Such a debate has to be supported by something more than unfounded assertion and opinion.

And such a debate may reveal that government is involved in marriage in some ways that it need not be.

In any case, I don’t see that on the whole the public discussion is on the right track. The public discussion needs to reestablish the basics, and go from there.

--------------

Too many contribute only unfounded assertion and opinion to the discussion.

Far too many prefer provocative disparagement to productive discussion.

If we are to prevail we must do better than that.

I repeat: the last I heard, this is a discussion forum.

A conservative, pro-family discussion forum.

The calling for the dissolution of legal marriage is neither conservative or pro-family. It is exactly what the libs want.

It’s a pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious freedom, pro-liberty, anti-homosexual agenda discussion forum. If you can’t handle that, take a hike.
