‘Tis indeed always me. Two email address for two IP addresses. Quicker replies that way! That is all!

BTW, your comment would be more humorous if you dropped the last part and instead just put ‘we’ instead of ‘they’ and added . And why are you socking yourself again? Or is this your evil twin?

What? I’m making fun of BOTH of us. lol!

And for… uh… everybody else (I’d say “atheists,” since probably atheists constitute 90% of the other half of this argument – I’ve only read about 50 or 100 posts, and I’m too lazy to go through all one thousand – but I’d prefer not to generalize), I don’t have any bad Star Wars quotes or theological texts/debates to offer to you, but it’s certainly possible to respect one’s fellow debaters.

Sorry if something like this has already been said, but I’m still too lasy to read every freakin’ post. Hm. Funny thing is, even though I’ve tried to be as respectful and helpful as possible, I know it’s just a matter of time before someone flames me. Huzzah.

(It was a bit nasty the day the lol went up.)

Oh, and Massachusetts, Iowa, Washington…

Of course, this is all moot since Jesus never said a word about homosexuality, and it’s not important enough to be in any version of the Ten Commandments (though “Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk” was).

2. In the US, civil unions are not recognized in all states. They also do not grant the same rights in the US as marriage. The fact that the reasons used by many lawmakers to not recognize same-sex unions are almost entirely religious only aggravates the situation.

3. People can define “president” to mean “a small orange” if they want; it doesn’t mean our political leader is a citrus fruit. The so-called definition of marriage as “one woman, one man” is not universal, nor necessarily traditional. The traditional definition of marriage was once “one man, several women, and perhaps a few concubines.” See King Solomon and King David of the Bible, the shahs and rajas of Persia, or the emperors of the Far East.

(a) It’s not a law against just shellfish, it’s against any sea creature that doesn’t have fins and scales. So no shellfish, mollusks, whales, dolphins, squid, octopi, coral, some Elder Gods, or sponges.

There is, in fact, no justifiable reason to deny legal marriage to same-sex couples.
> Legal marriage has nothing to do with religious ceremonies, and churches cannot be forced to perform ANY marriage.
> If the problem is the word (despite “marriage” not being the invention or sole property of any religion), then rename the legal contract a “civil union” and remove the gender concept entirely. That way, all legally married people will have the same rights and the same term for their union.
> The “homosexuals can’t reproduce” excuse is a non-starter, since the elderly and sterile can still legally marry. Also, in vitro fertilization does wonders for many lesbian couples.

“…I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between church and State.”

The biggest failure of this website and most of the people who frequent it is the tendency to rate images based on their political associations rather than whether they actually make a point or are humorous. I guess that explains why 9 out of 10 of them are extremely liberal, though.

… Oh, and you can take that statement to mean “liberals don’t pay attention to whether anything makes sense” if you want. Your call.

And for the record as a language geek, the spelling of “Lite” beer really drives me up the wall.

That said, American beer has improved markedly in the last ten years now that we’ve discovered that beer comes in other varieties besides regular and lite. Even the big boys are pushing ales, bocks, and the occasional stout these days.

I won’t say that liberals, me included, aren’t hypocrites from time to time or even often. But let’s not be throwing rocks, your glass house is looking mighty shaky. In the end, pretty much everyone is a hypocrite. If hypocrisy were the capital crime the self-righteous proclaim it to be, we’d all be on death row.

btw, while we’re on the topic, is sex upside as interesting as i vaguely remember?

cr@p i just noticed you’re right side up again, well scratch that question then…
