There were same sex marriage before xianity arrived, and fucked us over.
Grow up and stop acting like a two year old who can't have his own way.
Religion had it turn of ruling the world, you fucked it up, its over, deal with it. Time for science and sanity to lead the world. Religion give it 100-200 years will only be in the history books.

Perfect example of solid reasoning, totally ignore the argument and hurl insults, I'm impressed, but then this does seem to impress the less intelligent people in society, good old reverting to abuse, wins every time Clap

And what have christians done for the last 1,500 years? Oh yeah, abuse everyone who doesn't agree with them.

I am intelligent but you really pissed me off and I am in no mood for you. And what I said is the truth or will be. Your whole concept of a 'general rule' is invalid.

Really? So if a gym had a general rule admitting both men and women except for Thursday night which is women only, does the Thursday night exception invalidate the general rule admitting both sexes into the club? Or does the general rule still remain? I think anyone with half a brain can see that exceptions do not invalidate general rules, rather the exception proves the rule!

Well there don't check if you were formerly male or genetically male, that have to take face value and what gender it says on your ID or membership card and they would know that they were obviously male.

Not if the exception is part of the rule. If your general rule regarding marriage had been "potential for procreation except when...." then you might have an argument. As it stands, you don't.

Read it. It gives a lot of examples of why your concept is wrong.

I think your getting off quite lightly considering all the the abuse you spurted today, especially in a personal area of mine.

Not at all, its a perfect example. The exception that infertile couples can't procreate proves that there is a general rule that male-female couples can procreate. I did say procreation in principle, not procreation in actuality. Procreation in principal is a better term than potential, because potential implies actual procreation must be potentially present, only the principal need be present not the potential.
