    You can laugh all you want. My background check was done at the local Police Dept. with fingerprints and a waiting period.

    Well good for you. So my opinion is gay marriage does not equate to yours.....yet you promote that it does. I am against it. I'm entitled to that.

    Fair enough. That is what this thread asks. Does it discomfort you that many feel the same way I do?

    Don't let the critics get to you, they really don't want to understand viewing the world through the lens of the Gospel.

    Oh that changes everything! The police station you say?!

    Life pro tip: when you start having to delete large portions of others posts because they have shown you to be a liar or you cannot address points because they completely destroy the foundation of your failed argument, then you have lost the debate just about as pathetically as one can.

    A logical person would reevaluate their positions but I don’t see that happening.

    Do you want to understand the world through the lens of the Quran? The Hadiths? How about the Tipitaka? The book of shadows?

    Watch how easily you ignore those texts. That is how easily we ignore yours.

    Read the OP again.....I am against calling it marriage. It could have been a "civil union" or something else. Words have meaning. The left knows that. They like to confuse the children.

    That is apparent, I have the integrity to try and follow the points being made and address each one.

    Then why did your kind fight so hard against — and successfully ban — civil unions?
    Children are not the confused by the concept of legal marriage.

    What they don't understand is that I am against what they call marriage. And yes I do view it through the lens of the Gospel. On this forum, I am able to state why I am against something. They aren't winning any conversions here!

    My kind? You mean heterosexual Christian Americans? I did not fight against civil unions. A partnership in a corporation is a civil union. Any two or more citizens can have that and they always have been able to do that. Don't lie. Contracts are made all the time. Just like Your Kind does what it does all the time. It's not marriage and I am against it.

    Of course you have integrity. You are a supreme being to yourself.

    More lies

    upload_2021-10-16_20-30-32.png

    Each state that is dark red banned same sex civil unions
    Each state that is black banned same sex civil unions and marriage like contracts

    Do not call others liars when you are so grossly misinformed on a topic that it becomes embarrassing

    Why do you feel the only way to make your point is to lie?

    I am just secure enough in myself and my beliefs to be able to admit when I am wrong and don't have to run from the points I have made because they are based on feelings or superstition. You should try it sometimes.

    You say I believe I am a supreme being but you are the one that has the arrogance to assert their chosen religious beliefs are superior to all others.

    Not really I don't care that people have their opinions. I often wonder what your opinions based on but I really already know so there's no point in talking about it.

    There is no law against two individuals entering into a contract for any reason or for any condition. You just draw up the terms, have legal council to see that it is fair for each individual, and you have a contract! You just want to make a big deal out of it because you want the culture to condone what you do. Well you got it and there are those of us that know it's a perversion of the term.

    Of course I never said that but I believe the precepts I have stated ARE superior otherwise I wouldn't believe them. You believe your views of "homosexuality" in marriage is superior to those that disagree. So what does that prove?

    • Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska. The uniting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership, or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in Nebraska.[44]
    • (1) Marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman. (2) Legal status for unmarried persons which is identical or substantially similar to marital status shall not be valid or recognized in Arkansas.[46]
    • That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage.[79]
    That is just 3 of the dozens of laws that were passed. Your lies are lies no matter how many times you repeat them. I hope you are not teaching this character trait to your impressionable grandchildren.

    Doesn’t your falsified religious texts say something about being a liar?

    Your religious beliefs are based on what you were indoctrinated with most likely. If you were born in Iran they would likely be different. Same for India. It isn’t special.

    My views are based on basic reasoning and logic for harm reduction, societal benefit and personal well being / development.

    Your spiritual father is the liar here. You show me how you and your lover could not sign a contract between you two that determines you share equally in property. What you really wanted was a blessing of your behavior.

    My views were not solidified until I was 25 years old and starting a family. Not raised in a Christian home I experimented with all the crap you currently entertain and more. Sorry to burst your preconceived notion of me.

    I just literally posted the language of three different amendments out of two dozen that show you. Can you not read?

    What do you not understand about shall not recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage.

    So you didn’t believe people were deserving of equal rights under the law until 25? What do you believe changed your views?
