RE: The Church of England warn on gay marriage yet again.

The dick who the church sent to BBC news couldn't justify anything. All he said was "The Government say they're just extending marriage, whereas they are actually changing it" (paraphrased). This is pretty piss-poor as a justification for their bigotry, because by definition, extension is a change.

Unfortunate choice of headline, perhaps, but revealing video:
Gay marriage: Bishop of Norwich and Chris Bryant MP
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

And what about couples who cannot conceive or are past their biological primes?(To add to your point, Mr. Cinjin. :3)

Let's hope the trend continues. Unfortunately they reproduce by assimilation, so we can't afford to rest on our hardy laurels until they're merely an embarrassing footnote in history and probably not even then.

Well, they're already embarassing, so all that's left is to make them a footnote.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
