To compare one fallacious argument (how SOME whites felt about interracial marriage) does not make a valid point on the subject of homosexual marriage. And this is not some "white man" argument!
|
i disagree with this statement. interracial marriages were once very much frowned upon, but now i see them every day. the same is true of homosexual couples, only society as a whole hasn't accepted these couples yet (i'm not saying that every single person in our society has accepted interracial relationships, but it's not looked at the same way as it was even 25 years ago).

A man with 16 wives may raise good children to...but that doesn't mean that is a good situation for children to grow up in.
|
I have been raised in a family that can very much be considered "nontraditional" in this sense (not in the whole 16 wives thing, but the other). I've stated this before and been flamed for it, but I will not let that stop me from defending my family. It has taught my brothers, my sister, and myself, as well as all our friends, to accept people no matter their race, gender or sexual awareness. Every person I have met who has been raised by two people of hte same gender has been much more tolerant towards people's differences.

And someone mentioned that people are confusing their religious beliefs with their political views. Are you supposed to leave what you believe outside the Courts and Congress? I wonder is that what God wants his people to do...be one way in the church...but another way at work. Secularists pride themselves on passing laws based on how they feel...but its not popular to do when you are "religious."
|
A judge and/or a politician's job is not to base their decisions on what their religious beliefs are, but rather what is for the good of people. ALL PEOPLE, no matter who they are. I"m not saying that all judges/politicians actually follow this theory, but that is what secularism was designed for.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Just because its popular today to be liberal and accepting of everything folx want to do..doesn't mean I'm going to follow the crowd. Its an unpopular viewpoint...but that's just my opinion..

I really respect your opinions. While I disagree with them I think it is a good idea that everyone else has a chance to read them too, and decide for themselves.
