It doesn't matter if you're using a definition as an excuse or not. That is bigotry. You don't think it is because your gawd allegedly claims being gay is bad, but it still is. I don't know whether to hope one of your kids comes out gay or not. While I'd love to see you trying to justify your bigotry to someone you're supposed to love unconditionally, I think the kid would suffer from your bigotry.

Let's face it, his kid would hide it from him. Imagine how much more damage that would do.
If GOD wants to tell us how to run our secular governments, I think he could manage to come tell us himself; without relying on millions of spokespersons, all with slightly different scripts. I mean, I'm sure I can find Christians who will tell me God wants gays to be allowed to marry now. And then there's other religions. Feel free to send me a private message.

And there is the flaw in your reasoning. I don't deny any group any rights. You need the appropriation of the definition of marriage to be a right. You cannot show that. Your argument has failed. It boils down to a difference of opinion. It does not even matter why my opinions is different. I cannot be called a bigot because I am not intolerant of anyone's views/opinions. It seem the goal is not only to change the definition of marriage, it's to change the definition of bigotry. You have bought into nonsense.

Quote:There is no more fundamental institution than marriage to the development of all of civilization. You cannot find a comparison, let alone a comparison who's definition has changed. This line of argumentation is not just weak, it is just not valid. I disagree. Marriage is one of many institutions in our society that change over time as our society changes. It used to be that 'government' could only mean having one person at the top. It used to be that 'religion' was integrated into the governmental structure. Those have changed and the change is good.

How can the goal be to change the definition of marriage when it has already changed? The goal, if there is one, is to stop enraged religious people trying to undo the recent progress that has been made in human rights.

Neither has the concept of government. You are confusing types of governments with the concept itself. Try again to find a fundamental institution where we changed the definition. (Note: if there is only "one person at the top", then it's not a government). Damn definitions! gov·ern·ment ˈɡəvər(n)mənt/ noun
