QUOTE Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment. shit like this makes my head hurt... -------------------- 32-bit whore

The gay marriage thing is pretty much exclusively what I'm talking about. I'm well aware that there are non-religious folks out there that are opposed to gay marriage, but it's definitely members of the religious right that are the driving force behind prohibiting it. They may be a vocal minority, but I think that most of the anti-gay marriage movement would fizzle without them.
I'm not trying to hate on religious folks here, I'm just sayin' what I've observed. This post has been edited by Spectatrix: Feb 13 2007, 04:18 PM -------------------- |

It doesn't mean we have some infiltration of the state by the church though. Ultimately the congress member's votes come from their home state/district's views, which is how it's supposed to be. |

Ultimately the congress member's votes come from their home state/district's views, which is how it's supposed to be. 1) There are sects of all major religions that would allow gay marriage. 2) Even by taking the "all major religions" argument, you're still having the government endorse religion. Gay marriage would not be against atheism.
