I'll take this a point at a time. We’re not just talking about Christianity, of course. Judaism, Islam, and almost every other religion I...
The government wouldn't be enforcing anything. Despite the fact that they currently use the term, the government has no interest in marriage....
This is a terrible thing, but it sounds like a very strange, isolated, incident. This guy was apparently a doctor who specialized in mental...
That’s interesting, but it doesn’t really support your conclusion, and your conclusion doesn’t really address the issue. This issue perhaps...
This raises a number of interesting questions but I’ll try to be brief. Most non-religious people I know, whether they are hetero or homosexual,...
As long as the government doesn’t call them marriages, you mean. Yes, that’s an accurate summary. I haven’t had a close look at the Maine...
I’m not sure I’m following you, but hopefully this answers your question. I’m in favour of same sex couples having the same legal rights and...
That depends on your definition of marriage, and that's the problem. You've narrowed in on it very well here. Whatever it means, however, it's...
This is not a valid argument. Lots of things are centuries old, but that doesn’t mean that they are related to one another. An injustice...

Where would I start? I suggest that you start by looking at the history of the Sacrament of Marriage from the Catholic perspective, which I...
Ah, yes it is. It is one of the central, extremely important, traditions of the faith. It is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church,...
There were certainly people who complained before. They didn’t like the act of getting “married” before a justice of the peace in a civil...
Do you think the word Ramadan belongs to the Muslim religion? Does the word Hanukah belong to the Jewish faith? If someone wanted to open an all...
Exactly right. What on earth would possess a group of people to try to seize a centuries old religious term and tradition and redefine it to suit...
Excellent post sir! You are quite right. We need to get past this empty rhetoric about "big government" and start talking about appropriate...
Are you asking if the statement is true or false? If so then the statement is false. B does not necessarily follow from A, and in many cases the...
