Too late.

Quite - and some of those atheists and persons of religious faith are not heterosexual, and some of them (whether heterosexual or not) support marriage in its sense of a consummated union regardless of gender.

I don't expect you to agree - you've already stated that you consider homosexuality in and of itself to be potentially harmful, so we're not going to agree. You've stated your position, I'm stating mine. I quite understand that for people for whom (for reasons of their upbringing, faith, or prejudice) marriage can only be seen as 'a consummated union between a man and a woman', nothing else is defensible. It's just that the world has for a long time been made up of people for whom that is not the case too. Thus:


...does not apply in the case where, as is quite natural, laws change over time to reflect the change of language as a result of changes in society and beliefs. In such a case, using law to attempt to withhold said natural change is petty.

Most of us don't even use threaded mode.


Yeah, well don't go around bombing nations and writing crappy bog paper constitutions about equality when you can't even agree amongst yourselves what the words are supposed to mean.

Amazing that what you personally do or don't do; what you personally believe or don't believe; and what you personally agree or don't agree with becomes "most of us." Help me out here. You're either full of yourself, or full of crap. Which is it? Or is it both?

Well "most of us" agree on the meaning of self-inflated bigot.

It's about as natural as a toupe on a bald-headed bishop.

Fear of impermanence is a strong motivator for a belief in eternal soul, eternal laws, eternal damnation, eternal Daddie etc. Poor old world. The only permanent thing is change - bend or break, get with it.

I had no idea they made them that small! Do you find yourself, er, "combing" it often?

They come in all shapes and sizes. Don't fret - they'll have one for you.

Wooooooooosh! Right over your other head!

Is that it? After all your hot air it turns out your claims were a heap of dog poo? What you still haven't explained is how Obama can "appear to be homophobic" one minute and then "appear not to be homophobic" the next? Celandine said you were... "an annoying little pissant choosing wedge issues in personal little vendettas" - my advice - don’t try arguing with the big boys if you can’t back up your claims... it’s a dead giveaway that you’re out of your depth.
