The same sex issue is opening up a very interesting debate and exposes the vulnerability of democracy. This is not limited to the recent NC vote but goes back to Prop. 8 in California.
In both places we find the people of 2 states vilified because they exercised their right to choose and the majority in both cases went against the 'approved desired' outcome.
In California we then had a spoiled homosexual community race for the courts, get a homosexual judge who had a vested interest in the outcome of the vote and sought to overturn the democratically reached decision.
Why is it democracy when the 'desired approved' result is selected but not democracy when it is over-turned?
Doesn't the majority in both states deserve to have democracy when the vote is in their favor?
It seems to me that democracy for some people means 'when we get what we want' and that it is 'medeval thinking', going back to the stone age', etc. when the results ago against their demands and wishes.
Democracy demands/requires honesty from all sides to work but lately we see that some sides refuse to be honest and accept the decision of the majority.
-----------------------------------------------
Let's see if the atheists on this board can discuss the 2 questions honestly, without abusing those who disagree with them and let's see them bring good arguments supported by evidence without turning everything into a discussion on religious views. if you maike a comment be prepared to answer the question--Why.
This is strictly a political discussion on democracy and who it applies to, though religious views may enter in they cannot derail this thread.
