“People that want gay marriage and say it won;t ruin marriage?
Same Sex Marriage won’t ruin marriage because the people that want it want marriage as it stands. THe partnership, the joining of estates, the privileges, the precedents. They can’t afford for it to ruin ‘marriage.’
“I think it will impact my ability to train my child in the way I think I should.”
That’s not a function of marriage.
“I doubt this is terribly important to you, but it is a Biblical imperative for parents.”
1st Amendment guarantees your right to pass your bigotry down to your offspring. Unless your spouse divorces you and gets a restraining order…
“Honestly, I just think it's a sad end to a road for a nation with a distinctly Christian heritage to take.”
It’s not the end, doomsayer. Just the next step.
“I will not debate our heritage with you, I know I am right.”
Meh. You don’t dare debate anyone with the facts.
“And if you wish to have proof, you may investigate the preamble or earliest clauses to every single state constitution”
That’s not proof of the nation’s heritage, dimwit. Read the Constitution of the NATION you fucking moron.
“non-believers That say i am stupid guess what . I am secure in my intellect and my sanity.”
Secure? Doesn’t mean you’re not stupid.
“I'm old enough to recall a much nicer America and I bleed for our children. I'm sorry you are just too "sane" to give a rip about our kids and their futures.”
I want gays to have rights exactly because i ‘give a rip’ about our kids.
“And I think my rights as a Christian came before any rights anyone had to have sex with someone of the same sex in the US, and for you to call me a bigot makes YOU a bigot. lol”
But even if I am, you’re still a bigot. Har dee harr harrrrr.
And a lot of what you think of as ‘rights’ as a Christain are just privileges to discriminate. Not guaranteed rights. So fuck off with your merry self.
“and those that say that sepration of church and state i sin the the constitution why don't you FIND "Separation of Church and State in the US Consitution." lol”
Okay.
You do know that the Supreme Court’s decisions ARE part of the Constitution, right?
Pretty much like a footnote to the articles or amendments, telling us what they mean.
“YOU CANNOT.”
I certainly can.
“Of course, you refer to the Establishment Clause in the 1st Amendment,”
No, sweetie, i refer to the SCOTUS decision that amplifies the 1st Amendment.
“but you never bother to refer to the freedom to practice religion in that same amendment,”
THat’s the exact point of Church/state separation.
IIRC one of the first lawsuits to use this was Catholic parents who were upset that their kids were being taught a Baptist prayer at school. They were not free to practice their religion.
“or the fact that this is a Christian nation.”
Not even close.
“lol I am an attorney,”
Who cannot spell ‘separation’ twice the same way…
