Surpeme Court Gay Marriage Cases....

[DinoDoc]

What sounds better when saying it out loud?

Do you want the benefits of marriage or the illusion of societal acceptance? Real acceptance from society can't be handed out by a man in a black robe.

I want fully equality.

So Ben, are you saying that if an atheist straight woman and an atheist straight man marry through a justice of peace without any church involved, that it's still a sacrament?

[DinoDoc]

Domestic partners receive all of the benefits of marriage. There ya go.

[Kidlicious]

I see you enjoy lies. Where did I say that? I said that God has been clear on what is and what is not sin.

How would you know what sin is you piece of crap? No one is buying this ****. Why don't you just shut up?

[Ben Kenobi]

It's only a sacrament when you get married through a Protestant, Orthodox, or Catholic church. If you get married through justice of peace, then it's not a sacrament

So you don't believe civil marriage is really 'marriage', since it's not a sacrament?

[MRT144]

Domestic partners receive all of the benefits of marriage. There ya go.

Nah.

[DinoDoc]

The question before the court is "Should everyone enjoy equal protection?" or maybe even "What is the LEGAL definition of marriage?"

My preferred outcome for these cases is that DOMA falls as a violation of federalism and the Prop 8 challenge falls as not being an issue of proper federal jurisdiction where the judges shove it back to the CA State courts where it belonged in the first place.

You'ld probably say it in real life because you aren't afraid that I'd kick your ass. That's the only reason.

I'd say it for the same reason I'm saying it here.

No it doesn't take balls. It's the opposite of having balls. Go out in public and piss people off like you do on the internet and see what happens chicken ****.

Man, I'd love to see how you telling black chicks that they are inferior to white chicks would go over. Hell, I wager you get your ass kicked!

Ah yes, that's why you keep falsly accusing me and trying to destroy my character. **** you, you piece of ****.

Falsely accusing you? Of what? Being an avowed racist and a cafeteria Christian who doesn't accept the authority of scripture? No, Kidicious - you've proven both to be true.

This is the perfect example of the church making up the law and judging individuals for not following it.

I've already cited where Jesus said, "He made them male and female". So you are wrong. Marriage between one man and woman is biblical and God did affirm it contrary to all other 'alternatives' which are unfit for marriage.

I don't give a ****.

Some convert from Communism! You have more faith to the Red book than the scriptures. Praise Lenin!

[kentonio]

You have more faith to the Red book than the scriptures. Praise Lenin!

That's pretty funny, considering that yesterday you were talking about how you're happy with your salary because it provides you with enough for your needs. ****ing Marxist.

[Ben Kenobi]

So Ben, are you saying that if an atheist straight woman and an atheist straight man marry through a justice of peace without any church involved, that it's still a sacrament?

Marriage - unlike Baptism, doesn't work that way. No, it's not a sacrament.

[MrFun]

So you don't believe civil marriage is really 'marriage', since it's not a sacrament?

No. I think that getting married through justice of peace is just as much of a real marriage as getting married through a church.

[Kidlicious]

Somehow in the Beniverse "He made both of the male and female" has something to do with "Am I my bother's keeper," and that means the gays and everyone who doesn't condemn them to hell is a devil worshiper.

You might want to read on a little - Imran. What he's arguing is that all of you protestants are not really Christians, precisely because you have separated yourself from the Body of Christ. You're welcome to carry on with this train Imran - but it doesn't take you where you want to go.

Are you really sure you want to use Elok as an argument against me?

He is actually not saying such (I read the Father's blog posts quite more often than you do), but thanks for playing anyways. "“Which community and why?” is nearly impossible to answer satisfactorily."

Orthodox, FWIW, consider you Catholics just as wrong as Protestants.

You, also, of course miss the basic point - ie, Scripture is not authority, the community of believers is. Hence, it is possible for a people to call themselves Christian without asserting the Bible to be authoritative.

[Ben Kenobi]

how you're happy with your salary because it provides you with enough for your needs. ****ing Marxist.

Hrm? You are aware I teach privately... I fail to see how it is Marxist to earn enough for my needs and be satisfied with that.
