SCOTUS SSM rulings: DOMA overturned, Prop 8 gone

[Choronzon]

Guys, were talking about a poster who claims to be a Christian yet acknowledges hes not going to Heaven because of his beliefs and actions. I mean, I enjoy some batting practice as much as you folks do, but if you're going to respond to him at least be sarcastic and dismissive. Its painfully to watch you all attempt actual arguments with someone who is frankly not interested.

[Vettrera]

You know cat-stuff.


Nope. An impasse would imply that both of you have valid arguments supporting your respective opinions. That is not the case here. Your opinion, Valcouria, has no valid basis.

Opinions are without the need of facts. That is why they are opinions.

Opinions can still be supported by facts
But your one reason for despising Gay Marriage is because a book told you it was bad...
So your opinion isn't really valid

[Liriena]

I nominate Neo Art for Pope.

Sorry, but that's my job.

Neo-Art can be the Coptic Pope or something.

[Valcouria]

....law comes from God?

So...lawyers are like priests?

Well, thats a twist.

I had contemplated the priesthood repeatedly in the past (sometimes I still do, admittedly). So that analogy is actually useful.

[New Libertarian States]

Seriously? A war-torn world where you and millions of other young men are mutilated and hopeless is better than this...because of gay marriage?

Gay marriage...abortion...socialism/communism...there's more to it than just gay marriage. But it is a substantial factor.

What the actual fuck.
Seriously, so because more civil rights and economic theories, that is somehow worse then constant war,genocide,Imperialism,disease,corruption, ethnic cleansing, etc?

[Mkuki]

Interesting. I remember I saw a site that listed the states most likely to legalize same-sex marriage. I'll try and find it. I'd like your opinion on the suggestions.

WASP?

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Usually used to denote the Old Money and socially backward types.

Here's the site. What do you think?

[Bralia]

Which you've done quite a good job of already. Isn't your presence here redundant now? You've repeated your beliefs many times now. The leftist hammer has struck the concrete multiple times now and neither has yielded. The back and forth seems pointless now.

Not even a leftist hammer, considering how many right or centre-right posters were against him. It's simply the rational and empathetical hammer at this point.

In relation to him, most of everyone's a leftist.

...did...did you just imply you were a lawyer?

Cause thatd be awesome.

Gay marriage...abortion...socialism/communism...there's more to it than just gay marriage. But it is a substantial factor.

Gay marriage only objective affects the quality of life of LGBT people and their children.
Abortion has no legally tangible victims.
Socialism/communism existed in your beloved era as well...and even then, they're just two ideologies out of hundreds.

Neither amount in any way to a "substantial factor" that determines our current world as something in any way inferior to the past, a past with lower quality of life, genocide, more ignorance and a lot more war.

[Valcouria]

Not American law, and definitely not any system of law that isn't medieval.

And, if Val was actually a law student, he'd know this already. I'd think that would be American Law 101.

American Law comes from English Law, which comes from Roman Law. Roman law, to my knowledge, was based on the divine word of pagan gods.

We're talking about somebody who thinks Hobbes hit the nail on the head.

Someone who advocates for sadistic vigilantism, genocide, totalitarianism and prejudice against countless minorities cannot be a priest. Not in this world.

Heck, you probably would get yourself excommunicated from every single Christian denomination if any ever heard of your blatantly anti-Christian beliefs.

There was plenty of civic laws in Roman law.

No. Roman law was civic, not religious.

Read a fucking history book or go to law school. Either way, your statement is false.

If you had any knowledge of history, you'd know things changed substantially in the 2000 or so years between the establishment of American law and Roman law.

Meh, considering the history and current beliefs of the Southern Baptist church...

I'm studying for that career shortly, matter of fact.

Well, Minnesota already legalized same-sex marriage.

Not to mention... He's a Christian citing the divine word of Roman pagan deities.

OK, you know what, I'm gonna go play Resident Evil 2.

Really?
Oh, yeah, a few months back.
