Can you handle the Truth?

If you mean "gay marriage isn't valid" then I have already clarified my position on that in the initial statement.

I don't want to back read, sorry. And yes, I mean the "gay marriage isn't valid" opinion.

So, I will ask you another question. Do you see marriage between a man and woman of a different religion (like Buddhism or Islam) to be a valid marriage?

No.

So, all marriages that are not Christian, are invalid?

Why is no one reading here anymore?

Shakya, you know my answer to that question because you already asked it: please get to the point.

I just wanted to see you say that marriage is a Christian institution.

What's your point about polling booths?

I'll be sure to quote him more often then.

Yeah I don't view non-Catholic marriages as spiritually valid before God any more than I view Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam as being valid belief structures...

People take their beliefs into the polling booth, but I could see you not doing that.

I already stated:
I do not recognise Islam as valid.
I do not recognise gay marriage as valid.

I would not vote to prohibit Muslim's from worshipping.
I would not vote to prohibit Gays from living how they chose.

I have a general idea of how you see "the Church" and "the world". The word institution is just my attempt to express that.

There are a lot of other people who will vote to stop... And a lot of these people live in the US.

A lot of them live in Red states too.

Yeah well, that is up to them isn't it. You don't have a right to stop them having a say in how their society evolves and changes. They live in it, they pay for it, they are part of it.

But they don't follow the teachings of Jesus, therefore, their opinions are invalid. 😄

True, they follow the teachings of Paul.

Marriage predates Christianity, but it's always been a man-and-a-woman institution.

I think he meant Muslims, and if so he's wrong. Jesus is one of the most exalted figures in all of Islam.

This thread has become tedious.

Which argument would that be?

That equality in marriage exists if all people may enter a marriage with the same set of legal restrictions or abstain.

When I said here, I meant on KMC. When I said reading I meant comprehend what they read.

Well....that is right, isn't it? That's not so much an argument as a fact. At least legally, equality in marriage does exist then.

And, again, that's only the statement he made. He didn't argue for anything.
