"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

[Ravenshire]

I'm gonna let dictionary.com complete the destruction of RR's and Steve's "arguments" by definition about marriage.

All emphasis is mine:
RR, Steve, sorry, but you guys lose. You see, that's the problem with communicating by means of a living language. Definitions change, pronunciations change, spelling changes... Might I suggest you both learn Latin if definitions are such a hot button for you. It's a dead language, so you won't have that to deal with. Of course, you'll be stuck in a modern world with no way to communicate modern ideas, but you both seem to be there already.

LOL. That people have to put qualifiers in front of the word 'marriage' if they don't mean marriage! Do you think anyone in the 20th century uttered the phrase 'heterosexual marriage' to make sure everyone was clear on what they meant?! You are proving my point!

Are you going to stick with the 4000 year number? Are you sure you want to do that?

Like I said. Bigot colored glasses.

You got something other than what you pull out of your ass giving you information that marriage goes back 10,000 years? I'm not married to the 4,000 number, but dictionary.com is far more reputable a source than any you've presented (none) so far.

Of course, the age of an institution says nothing to whether they're getting it right or not, and has never been a part of my argument. The institution now includes same-sex couples whether you think it should or not, and that makes the world a better place.

Look back all the way through. My point has always been that a preference to the old definition of marriage does not equate to bigotry. People have spent 40 pages unsuccessfully trying to prove that it does. I would have stopped long ago, but you know how this works, a new batch of people take up the cause and rehash everything again.  They can't figure out why they can't prove what they have been told--all who opposed gay marriage are bigots.

Any time you exclude a group of people because they're (insert trait you find undesireable here), it's bigotry you chuckle-fuck.
