It's all about credibility.
You come on here arguing for the redefinition of marriage and we now discover you are a fraud and a flake hiding behind your "faith" to avoid taking personal responsibility.

there are only three ways garysher and fxashun "debate"
(1) make offensive insults about gay people and pretend it's scientific (while high-fiving each other over the latest nasty comment)
(2) taking a comment they can't deal with and distort and twist it so that it no longer resembles the original ... spinning, distorting, obfuscating and twisting
(3) take personal information and pretend that it has anything to do with the subject
why you are giving them the least amount of respect and actually attempting to communicate with them is beyond me.

Of course.
If everyone involved makes an effort to stay on topic.
So far, not so much. | |

So far, not so much. | When you have two sides that are open minded enough to debate it, then it is. Reading through here, I see some very one sided, set in their way, people, who really won't allow themselves to open up to change. It is really a shame.

It is really a shame. | I'd open up to any factual scientific justification for something that I consider deviant. I am a huge fan of sci-fi and have many beliefs that might be considered a bit off the grid. But as for THIS topic, I don't really know if you mean about "gay marriage" or homosexuality itself, but just telling me to believe something based on bullshit philosophical reasons or because it's convenient or unfair for some people ain't gonna cut it. Having an open mind is one thing, allowing yourself to be told to ignore the obvious is a totally different thing altogether. It's funny. Some people on this site claim to be such great thinkers, but with this topic they are allowing themselves to be told to accept homosexuality as "normal" even though it is obvious that there is something aberrant about it, many of them admit they think there is something aberrant about it, yet they say I'm closed minded for simply voicing my opinion honestly. LOL to that.

I have heard that before. But I really haven't had the "circle" pointed out where my argument against "gay marriage" and "homosexuality" is the actual perimeter that the argument rides on. Here's the guide I follow for a circular argument. And I feel I present reasons quite clearly for feeling the way I do.
But if people didn't want to talk about it, this wouldn't be the biggest topic on this site. Something must be driving the demand.
