Well, you don't want people killing or just hurting each other, do you?
Or "thou shall not kill" is not a moral rule?

There are undeniably good and practical reasons to legally disallow killing, or rape or theft or assault. The morality of these actions are really beside the point in a legal sense.

It is much harder to suggest that letting gay people marry causes any kind of harm to any individuals or to society. It does not lead to anyone losing property, safety or life. Laws against such a thing exist only because those who claim to represent the majority think it is icky.

Quote:I don't care what happens, concerning this particular piece of legislation, honestly. However, let's get something straight: You cannot trust humans to live in a society civilly, without some sort of moral backbone. That backbone comes from the state, church, traditional values, or what have you. In the end, men are beasts without principles. Stripping away all of the traditional morals and values is never a good idea, because there is no consensus on anything. Entropy is then the least of your worries. After a while, groups will start to form and bicker among each other, possibly leading to violence and/or excommunication.

You make the assumption that no morals exist without 'tradition'.

Men are not 'beasts without principles' unless they have severe mental disorders.
