My response was appropriate as a compare and contrast exercise.Non sequitur response.Yes, we've made great progress.And they'd have the same reaction if you told them about radios, automobiles and landing on the moon...
We can now land on the moon.
And our TV shows celebrate homosexuality constantly to the point where men are regularly shown having make-out sessions in men's restrooms.
I compared the huge advances our society has made in technology, and contrasted it with the giant leap backwards we have made in morality and ethics.
Agreed. We should totally go back to when it was considered a fine and just thing to own other humans beings, beat our wives and children, and condemn people who weren't Christians. What a mistake we made in leaving those quality morals ad ethics behind.
'And condemn people who weren't Christians'? When did that happen?
The mood gets ugly when people feel their vote doesn't matter.
Why should we have a vote on whether somebody wants to marry? Did I get to vote on your marriage?
If some guys want to marry, or some girls want to marry, let em, doesn't affect your marriage or mine does it?
Just because some book of fairytales says certain things are forbidden you all get your pants in a twist!
The bible also says you cannot divorce, get tattoos, wear gold, go to church if you have no gonads, have your fortune told, use contraception or eat certain meats amongst other things. I bet everybody has at least one of those vices.
Let em marry, what is the worse that god can do? Bury you under six foot of snow!
So you support legal polygamous marriage as well?
He's talking about in america..as you well know...but go ahead and try to drag the thread off topic...maybe you'll fool a few people...My response was appropriate as a compare and contrast exercise.Non sequitur response.Yes, we've made great progress.

I support marriage rights for polygamists so long as all parties involved willingly consent to the marriage.

There are any number of examples in US history of religious intolerance in the colonial era and 19th centuries. America s True History of Religious Tolerance History Smithsonian
Colonial Era?? Were people arrested for not 'believing', what did you mean by 'condemned' exactly?
It's has become a hackneyed phrase used by the opposition to misdirect from the issue at point. It's used as a snare. The poster to whom I replied doesn't support either. I'm only surprised he didn't lump beastiality in with the set.LOL!The mood gets ugly when people feel their vote doesn't matter.

That ancient, straw argument again?
Try to stay on topic.
What was 'strawman' about it? He stated that no one should have a vote on whether somebody wants to marry? It doesn't affect anyone else's marriage, etc... All of that stands true for polygamous marriage, and all you bigots who supposedly support 'marriage equality' all deny the same rights to them while demanding it for others. You're a bunch of loud mouth hypocrites. "Marriage equality" for some, but not for others! You're a bigot!

As should all people who are supporting 'marriage equality', there's really no good reason not to support it.
They feel that if they come out in support of any legal marriage arrangement then that will be used as an excuse to stop 'gay marriage', so while shouting for equal rights for themselves, they deny it to others. Cowards.

Colonial Era?? Were people arrested for not 'believing', what did you mean by 'condemned' exactly?
People in New England were arrested for not going to church. Outside of Maryland, Catholics couldn't hold office. Reread newspapers from the day and see how often Jews and Catholics were badmouthed, to say nothing of non-Christians. Indian children taken from their parents and forced to attend white schools and convert to Christianity because native religions were looked at as inferior.
Non-Christians might not have been burned at the stake, but it wasn't like the atmosphere of religious tolerance we have in America today.

For your own information, I hold no objection to plural marriage. Your bigot remark is an absurd emotionally reactive leap to a conclusion.
In every state where same-sex marriage was on the ballot, even liberal states like Oregon and California, it was defeated.
And yet, the courts are now imposing same-sex marriage on the states, despite what the people voted for.
Same-sex marriage will therefore never be legitimate in this country, since it was imposed contrary to the wishes of the American people.
The issue will cause further polarization of this country into two warring camps, in the same way Roe v. Wade polarized this country over abortion.
The liberals have given up trying to push their agenda through legitimate democratic means.
They mean to turn this country into a tyranny, with them calling the shots..

No, I'm absolutely NOT saying that. What part of "no objection to plural marriage" don't you understand?It's has become a hackneyed phrase used by the opposition to misdirect from the issue at point.

So you're saying it's not a legitimate issue? Anyone who doesn't have a marriage that fits whatever your description of it should be is left in the dust on the trail to 'marriage equality'?
What possible excuse can you have for supporting gay marriage but not polygamous? I have yet to hear one legitimate response to that?

I find it astonishing that some people would object to people of other sexual orientations being granted equal rights even above the objection of bigots..
When those tyrannical democrats force you to marry another man then you'll have something to cry about........
It's a trick the left uses to bypass the constitution...If they federalize everything by taking it to court and shopping for a liberal judge to rule in their favor, it allows unelected judges to bypass the vote of the people....
So now in order to UNDO the mess there has to be a constitutional convention...
it's a clever trick and further illustrates how all three branches of government have become irredeemably corrupt.
So that's why you hate the constitution.
No..I hate people that try to evade the constitution by stacking courts with liberal judges so they can federalize anything they disagree with by challenging it in court.....activist judges who are appointed, not elected, are then able make "rulings" that bypass the constitution
I already explained it to you once. Focus.
People have voted on this issue...and activist judges have overturned the results of the democratic process. That is unamerican and anti democratic.
Why do YOU hate the constitution is the question.
