Argument with a family man

[yuki]

I thought he was talking about Lalam24.

I'm talking about no one in particular.

all marriage is, is insurance plans and bank accounts. and certain courtroom advantages to your spouse.
summed up: being married is fancy talk for bureaucratic paperwork. Thats all.

religious people misunderstand that, and think a bunch of other spiritual rights are obligated.
random traditional bullstuff they learned from a book that has no connection to modern world.


why would you feel the need to keep them standard rights from a gay man, just because YOU like god?
it dont even make sense. its pushing around your weight where it shouldn't be.

[FlyGuy45]

just something to think about.

Think about what? You aren't saying anything?

Let me see, Protestants-Catholics in Ireland and England? The Crusaders? Any god dammed monarchy in the middle ages? I really do not know what you want me to think about. You should do something, and maybe realize you are no better than the kool kids klub.

being gay is a choice

When did you choose do be straight?

Inb4:James:

I'm saying that you should imagine a world controlled by people like the Taliban.  I also said in the next sentance that this world would be hell, so therefore, disagreeing with their religion wouldn't put you in any different situations after death.  (if you believe in an afterlife)

Having a wife that doesn't exist.  He would live by himself but get benefits a married couple would have.
Tax benefits and such.

Most people are intelligent enough to distinguish between people and inanimate objects. I'm still completely at a loss to what you're point is, unless you're trying to say that having a woman in a legal union with another living woman is somehow comparable to counting a roll of scotch tape or a jar of pickles as a dependent, which is tax deductible.

Government=Tax breaks=Marriage=Religion
A=B, B=C, and C=D therefore, Government=Religion

Yeah for separation from church and state.

I am lost, are you saying the Taliban make things worse? No stuff, living under a dictatorship would suck. I could say living under water without air would suck.

[Lalam24]

I'm glad you are content with your decision. May I see these articles?

I can't find the exact one.  Go browse around Google for a bit.  And me being content, doesn't mean that, in my mind, I think it's 100% true.  It just means that it's the side I'm going towards.

I don't see as to why this arguement has continued throughout such a long period of time.  I think I'll end it here, because I'm tired, and want to go to bed while watching Doctor Who.

No government in the world is completely unaffected by their churches.  So such an idea is bullstuff

"Although the Soviet Union was officially secular, it supported atheist ideology and suppressed religion..."

You will always find God mentioned somewhere, though.  Removing religion from government is possible, but removing it from people is not possible.
