I see no point in defending an institution which fails 41-50% of the time on the first go around and 60-67% the second go around.
Factor in divorce court costs, costs to the system in place, emotional damage, financial damage, and what you’ve got is a social and legal albatross.
If my fellow conservatives want to get up in arms to defend a ruined castle with no walls, go right ahead, but I consider it a waste of time.
Not only that, but it’s none of my business unless freedom of religion is infringed upon.
If homosexuals want to be civilly unioned, then so be it - and may God help them because I guarantee the divorce statistics will be the same for them once it becomes commonplace - probably higher. I will defend any church’s right to refuse to marry a same sex couple, but I will also defend the legal right of any church that wishes to do so, however unchristian it may be.
Defending the American family? Look, that institution has been holding on by a very thin thread for a number of different reasons for decades now - well before this homo broohahah started - mainly because of failed marriages and unwed, single mothers.
Let people do what they’re going to do and let God judge them. It’s not our place to do so.
So, you don't believe in protecting our rights?
Far fewer than 50% of Americans exercise their right to keep and bear arms, do you think we should stop defending that? Or are you just employing the typical libertarian tactic of allowing the left to get everything they want through inaction?

NOBODY is required to get married. The same can be said about any business venture, do you oppose them?

Conservatives ARE ready to defend our rights, you don't understand that because YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE.

So you are in favor of it...

You really don't get it do you?

How libertarian of you.

And your solution seems to be abandoning it altogether which is EXACTLY what the left wants.
Let people do what they’re going to do and let God judge them. It’s not our place to do so.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's like say let people murder if they want and God can be the judge.
I realize you are new here, but you are clearly in the wrong forum.
That's a strawman. This isn't about judging people's souls. That is rightly left to God. This is about recognizing the fact that God has judged homosexual activity to be a sin, and about not being compelled to participate in that sinful act.
When something is going wrong, you don’t say, “oh well, lets make it worse.” You are supposed to try to fix it, dumbass.
How very liberal of you. So tolerant and accepting of immorality and perversion, truly astounding.
When a microbiologist cultures a living species in a disf, bacteria, virus, whatever, he needs first to CONDITION THE ENVIRONMENT with minerals, salts, antibiotics, etc. to create conditions most favorable for the intended outcome. Our Lord has let us know what conditions suit the most favorable outcome for His intentions. We fail to heed His lesson at our peril. If you have a posterity you may wish to rethink your opinion on this.
