So if one person in the Title Bar FAQ thread brings up religion or insults somebody else, the entire thread should be locked?
Your logic is terrible. You're implying only one person is talking about Religion in that thread.
And I'll tell you why.
Religion.
You can't make logical arguments against religion. It doesn't apply. Religion is someone's beliefs, which exist simply because they do, not because they were logically reached. I'm solidly agnostic and my family is devoutly christian. I had a discussion with my mother once, and the way I see it, the problem is this.
Same-sex couples want to be "married". Marraige, biblically defined, is a holy union between a man and a woman. The problem, therefore, is with language, because English uses the same word for a union in the eyes of the church (Marraige) and a union in the eyes of the state (sometimes called Civil Union). You're under the impression that a union by a church and a union by the state are different. They are not. My mother and father got married by a judge.
The state has total control over who can and cannot wed two people. If the state wanted to, they could revoke a priest's privilege to wed. The power lies entirely with the state, not the church. I'm not sure if you're from the U.S., and if you are, then one of us is quite mistaken. Yes, sure, the government may have it's hand in the church's pocket, but ultimately the church will tell you that Marraige is a holy matter unrelated to the state.
Marraige by a church is not necessarily recognized by the state and vice versa. I'd just wish the government would hurry up and grant gheys marriage rights so we can move on to more pressing -blam!-. I don't see why Christians even get a say in the matter. I would get it if a ghey christian refuses to get married, but I find it out of line that some religious people are forcing their beliefs into the legal system.
You didn't even look at the thread.
I did actually. Thanks for assuming you know more about me than I do though, it makes you come off as really smart.
Also, the second last one so unobtrusively mentions government that it can't even be counted as an example. And those are only a few of 50+ replies.
