Non sequitur, logical4u. You guys have lost this battle and ultimately the war. It's over.
And, guess what, your civil and religious liberties are not infringed. You get to vote (in the minority) and your preacher can refuse to marry homosexuals in your church.
Answer this: why are you really worried about this? Jesus wasn't.
Apparently you don't know Yeshua (since you want to go there). He spoke out against lewd and perverse behavior. He said a man leaves his family and takes a "wife" and the two become one (notice the gender pronoun used, notice the femine form of spouse used). If it did not matter, He would have been gender neutral. He wasn't. BTW, it does say in the Bible that twisting it for your own purposes is taken as an insult against the Lord. Yeshua loved everyone. But when He stopped the woman from being stoned, what did He say to her after everyone (that wanted to kill her) left? He said: go and sin no more (stop that!!!). Read the Gospels for yourself, you will see that Yeshua encouraged people to resist all forms of sin.
I am very worried about this. In the most modern history, dictators worked to destroy the morals of a people, before taking control. It was done in small increments, and ended up with the murder of millions of people that did not want a human "master". In this country, we have watched the ________ systematically work to destroy the morals of the people. It was really applied starting in the 60s and 70s with "the revolution" (pick one). As a result, more children are being raised without fathers. Those children make up the majority of our prison population. Those children tend to have problems with relationships and committment. The cycle repeats itself and the numbers get larger. Those same "revolutions" encourage the women to be sexually active (spreading STDs), and then to murder their children (just heard that over 50,000,000 children have been murdered since Roe vs Wade), while at the same time discouraging the justice system from killing murderers. Your side supports murderers and murders innocents. Now you want to take it a step farther, even more "lewd and perverse", claiming that it is civil. It is not, it is the acceleration of the destruction of our country. It is obvious that is not important to you and those like you, you are only interested in your latest scam or thrill. You will try to force this abhorrent behavior as "acceptable (way different than tolerable), and use it to bury the taxpayers to pay for disease (caught by your behavior), your care because those that truly choose "their sexual preference" cannot reproduce using "natural/green" means. The burden will increase because people will join the scam because "marriage" will be bastardized to include anyone that wants another's gov't benefits, or to add a person to their health insurance. Then, it will become worse because the homosexuals that get divorced will demand alimony and health benefits if they were not working during the "marriage". The fact that you won't even try to see the possiblities illustrates one of the theories about homosexuality: homosexuals are people that stop maturing, emotionally, and rationally in their early teenage years, possibly because of sexual abuse or molestation.
I saw a story on an experiment on the internet: if you clicked on a button it would grow your account by $0.25. If you clicked on another person's button it would decrease their account by $1.00, at the same time your account would be decreased by $1.00. More people chose to "take" from others over "building" their own account. When morals go, that is what is left: the thrill of hurting others over helping yourself. I guess that pretty much explaing the whole "homosexual marriage" thing. Rather than work on yourself, you want to inflict pain on others.
