Do you support over turning the Obergfell decision? Do you support overturning the Bostick decision? |

Yes, I believe marriage is supposed to be one male and one female. Partially. You should not be able do discriminate. You should be able to fire if their identity and actions are becoming disruptive. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I believe that is historically true, but what does "supposed to be" really mean? I believe most of that was speculated because of religious beliefs, obviously the U.S. is a secular nation so it wouldn't make sense in the U.S. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Nothing to do with religion. It is about science and biology. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Well, if it’s about a lifetime commitment for two people who love each other, then gay marriage makes as much sense as heterosexual marriage. We don’t force heterosexual couples to make babies. We don’t prevent sterile people from marrying. Churches can choose to not recognize gay marriage. Our government shouldn’t. 15 years ago I was technically against ‘gay marriage’, but I came to realize I was just trapped by semantics. I STARTED with a definition that marriage was between a man and a woman. When I changed my definition to ‘marriage is between two people who love each other’ it became easy. |

Personal rights are supreme relative to a country's rights, unless the country's population drops. If the population grows organically, no issue. The reason is, there's a finite supply of persons on Earth. Eventually, all populations can drop and there can be no more immigrant potential to compensate. So might as well nip it in the bud if the population isn't growing organically. |

Your argument assumes that humanity is even WORTH saving... |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4238 | The bottom line is, if abortion & gay marriage are allowed, the country will fail. So it comes down to being patriotic (things like social security, personal security, economic prosperity, etc.) or for the personal right of murdering other humans and/or being a homo. Religion is designed for a population to survive. The opposite is also true. That's why Democrats & Communists are called death cults. They inherently want misery. And if you show someone mathematically on the far left, they can't see it or don't care. A person that calls themselves a patriot and are for abortion and/or gay marriage are confused. If a congress person is confused, they are against the country and should not be in office. And certainly a President that's not a patriot shouldn't have been elected and possibly stolen. A President that's for abortion and gay marriage is likely a Communist in disguise. |

To a degree, but only as a means to an end. The purpose of religion is to exert mind control over people, to attract and keep them in the fold. Some, like the Mormons, actually provide a service, i.e. providing aid and succor to members during time of need but it will cost you: you tithe ten percent of your income. But the Catholics...a faith I was raised in and rejected as a youth...are predatory mind-fuckers who guilt-trip members and instill fear: not good. Religions need new members in order to keep their Big Con Game going: it ain't altruism, it's predation. |
