Replace same-sex with interracial and you have the same arguments that preceded Loving v. Virginia. It is simply illogical bigotry that drives these "protectors of family values"

I don't shop at WalMart, do frequent Home Depot but working for stores like either of those is my vision of Hell. But by not shopping at your local hardware, grocer, department store your put these giant chains in a position to control the market and assert their abuse on labor.

But by not shopping at your local hardware, grocer, department store your put these giant chains in a position to control the market and assert their abuse on labor. By not supporting labor unions you allow the abuse to continue. This law suit and many others like it against Wal Mart will only stop went the employees are allowed a union for protection against abusive management and representation to get better working conditions.less

Young Earth, Creation Science, all of this is just the dumbing down of America. What sort of future awaits us in 20-30 years, when the products of this education system, who have been taught that a compilation of 2000 year old writings with dubious origins must be learned at the same level as the products of reason and scientific method are running this country?

Young Earth, Creation Science, all of this is just the dumbing down of America. What sort of future awaits us in 20-30 years, when the products of this education system, who have been taught that a compilation of 2000 year old writings with dubious origins must be learned at the same level as the products of reason and scientific method are running this country? The claim of "Six 24 hours days" for Earth's formation is so ridiculous that it alone should be enough to turn you all into atheists.

This, the War on Women, Homophobia, Climate Threat deniers, the New Crusades all the Tea Party/GOP rants are what really will bring this country down.less

Believer. sorry but the writers on this web site prove H316's statements daily

The writers are British, a nation where religion is already waning, take that into consideration when thinking about how they view American religious fanatics. A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers. see BBC story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12811197 The result, reported at the American Physical Soc...more

The writers are British, a nation where religion is already waning, take that into consideration when thinking about how they view American religious fanatics. A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers.
see BBC story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12811197

The result, reported at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, US, indicates that religion will all but die out altogether in Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.

More from BBC: Nearly two-thirds of people do not regard themselves as "religious", a new survey carried out to coincide with the 2011 Census suggests. story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12799801less

somebody is off their meds....

Daniel, if we were to base this country on something many founding fathers shared. we would all be Freemasons

Since when has ability to breed been required to obtain the thousand or so legal and civil advantages of that the secular marriage contract as recognized by Civil Authorities gives to couples? HUH??

The Sky is falling, the Sky is falling, said Chicken Little.... You said "dismantle the very structure on which our civilization will flourish" Sorry dude, but my view of civilization is not based on superstition and bigotry

Oh heck yeah, I agree

Jesus indeed is coming back, he & Jose came by and did my lawn last weekend and promised to return in two weeks to do it again

Troll, not, more of a gnome myself.....

Good old Chuckie makes this broad statement, "An obvious example is the biological facts that lie behind the teaching that marriage should be between a man and woman." but what biological facts he fails to mention. Secular, Civil marriage is about the 1100 various rights, tax brakes and protections afforded legally recognized couples. Marriage is not just about breeding.

lankford, you & Daniel demonstrate the essence of why your superstitions are so harmful to the human race

I think it's more correctly likened to self-flagellation

Daniel, your posts are becoming more warped every day: You say, "Man's natural orientation is sin"- Now that is a really screwed up view of life if I ever heard one.

How in the world is this "abuse"? Maybe it's because phoenix hit the truth about this sad story square on it's head. Who can't miss the boiling conflict messing this guy up told in the story. pain caused by superstitions held by bigots.

HUH? where did I say anything about a bible verse that says interracial marriage is not allowed?

But even in the states that have laws against 1st cousin marriage, if you marry in a state where it is OK and move to state with a ban your marriage is still valid
