Alternative term for gay marriage by brannicin politics

[–]ScannerBrightly -1 points0 points ago

Nice note there, because I thought it was me making the argument that marriage is more about property rights and contract law than any sort of immutable religious practice given by god himself.

But, we can all agree, marriage as it works today is more like contract law and societal expectations than anything that has to do with god.

Thank you for an honest answer.

So did your family members re-marry? Did that call that marriage? Why, since it doesn't fit your definition.

Two more Baptist pastors in different parts of the country advocate for the killing of homosexuals in their services this past Sunday. by faceuin politics

[–]ScannerBrightly 9 points10 points ago

The article we are talking about here is about 2 asshats who are picking pieces of the Old Testament and saying it justifies killing people. I'm not doing anything different that others who also call themselves Christians.

That's why I asked "why not remove" all those parts? If you don't follow them, why keep them in your holy book?

Note: A lot of this comes from the Wikipedia article on Marriage.

Marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history. Why do you insist that marriage is fundamentally a religious institution? What evidence do you have for that? The bible has a bunch of rules about having more than one wife, and rules for not neglecting your first wife when you get your next one. This doesn't square with what you are saying.

In ancient Greece, inheritance was more important than feelings: a woman whose father dies without male heirs could be forced to marry her nearest male relative—even if she had to divorce her husband first. Does that sound religious to you?

As part of the Protestant Reformation, the role of recording marriages and setting the rules for marriage passed to the state, reflecting Martin Luther's view that marriage was a "worldly thing".

Marriage in a religious context is defined as a life long commitment between a man and woman.

Since when? The Pope might have liked that idea before the Church of England existed, but in case you don't know, more than 50% of marriages end in divorce. Why not make a new word for 2nd marriages first?

So why not remove all those parts that justify slavery and tell of god commanding his followers to kill entire towns including women and children?

Why not? There's murder all over the bible. God commands quite a bit of killing, in fact.

Honest question: Would you want the electoral college to bypass the will of the people and the vote totals and just put Ron Paul in the White House?

Planned Parenthood targets Romney with new swing-state ad buy -- accuses the Republican candidate of undermining women's rights. by BlankVersein politics

I wonder if there is a correlation between high school size and teen pregnancy. I went to a high school (in PA) where my class had over 700 kids, and I had plenty of sex (and I'm a geeky guy). My good (hot female) friend in CA went to a high school with 20 kids in her class and only had one male sex partner (and one female), mostly because of the low level of people she had to select from. Also, in my school, many people in my class didn't even know my name, let alone what I was all about, whereas in her school if you sneezed everyone knew about it within 2 hours.

I know this is completely anecdotal, but I think this is at least a contributing factor in low-density areas of America.

They'll just rename it "AppleCore" or some shit and try to pretend it was theirs all along. See: Bonjour.

This is the only reply worth reading. If you do this, you will win with YouTube and take that win to court with you to stop the sales of the DVD and recover damages from DVDs already sold.

If you do not do this, you will just be blowing hot air around the webs.

Decided to go down to the pub to have a drink with, and for, the guys - cheers, mates by From_teh_interwebzin pics

[–]ScannerBrightly 0 points1 point ago

Your statement is so full of jingoist nonsense it makes my head spin. Let's step thru it.

  • Armchair pundit. How is this different from you commenting on this Reddit? At least he is making a living out of it, while you most likely do something else for a living. Right? This is just a pointless attack that means nothing.
  • "knows nothing of what it means to be a soldier". What qualifies you to know what it takes? Does one have to be a soldier themselves to know this? If so, that means in order to judge a thing, you must have gone thru it. So who can judge the death penalty? Who can judge a murder? Only other murderers? This makes no sense. Of course we can talk about soldiers and our foreign policy without having first hand experience.
  • "thinks he can judge the worth". No. He's not doing the judging. You are. You are applying a word that is fraught with emotion and media fantasies with absolutely NOTHING to base it on besides that fact they had joined the military. So some asswipe that gets himself killed drunk driving while on leave from a base in Japan is a "hero" to you? Because that is what you are claiming.
  • "people who are dying for the freedoms" What? Who, exactly, is dying for his freedoms? Since 9/11, I have seen freedoms taken away left and right. Also, I was under the impression that our freedoms weren't given to us by the government or the military. We have them, we were born with them, given by the "creator".
  • "that he takes for granted". I assume you are a mind reader as well, since you know how this guy feels about his freedoms.

tl;dr Stop living inside what you imagine to be other people's minds and read a book.
