[Gay Mariage should be legal. Im not gay I know being it is against God But thats ME.]
Ok seriously, if everyone had your type of mindset, this would be one screwed up nation. If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs. Why not tolerate murderers and rapists. Why not tolerate serial killers. I mean seriously, when are we going TO START STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! Come on guys.
[ok your comparing having two people marrying to people marry animals and murders and rapist. what the hell is wrong with you?]
marriage is defined as one man one woman, if u allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another?

'If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs.' 'Why not tolerate murderers and rapists. Why not tolerate serial killers.'
Because rapists, murderers, and serial killers all deny the liberty of others. Two guys getting married in no way denies your liberty. It may offend you, but that's just too fucking bad. We don't make something illegal just because a few closed-minded bigots are offended.
'marriage is defined as one man one woman'
No, that is how some social groups have constructed the meaning of marriage. Big difference. For goodness' sake, even the BIBLE doesn't define marriage as one man and one woman! Ever heard of King Solomon?
In summary: the slippery slope you claim exists is neither slippery nor a slope. It's a fiction made up in your intolerant mind to justify your discriminatory tendencies. You make the human race look bad.
Following your logic, if you allow people eating lobster, why not allow murder?, if you allow people wearing a new synthetic fabric.........there is a tool called LOGIC and it lead us to the fact that homosexuality is just a private thing that doesn´t affect our lives. It´s a matter between God and those guys.
They just "legalized" gay marriage here, (the whole story is fairly long) so this is a pretty hot debate going on. I've been telling my socially conservative friends and family that what two consenting adults do with themselves is none of my business, and shouldn't be anyone else's for that matter.
<i>marriage is defined as one man one woman, if u allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another?"</i>
Marriage should be allowed for two people who love one another and want a legal and spiritual union between them. Some [like me] dont believe that marriage is necessary, however, if you want to get married to the person you love [male or female] you should be allowed. Homosexuals should not have any less rights than heterosexuals, moron. It's thinking like that which makes you look like you are living in the 13th century. Comparing homosexual marriage to rape and murder is just plainly retarded. You'd be better off if you just shut the fuck up and mind your own business.
marriage is defined as one man one woman if u allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another?
Why should advocating gay marriage require also supporting the elimination of laws against murder and rape? There's nothing logically inconsistent (as Keith seems to imply) between allowing gay marriage and forbidding murder or rape. They have nothing to do with each other.
marriage is defined as one man one woman,
why not tolerate guys marrying dogs.
everybody covered that pretty well. Just two things more, first, if you're not in favor of gay marriage marry someone of the opposite sex, and second if you feel God doesn't approve of same sex marriage don't invite him to your wedding
I agree with Amos, fundies do seem to have ethical blinders on. They think that the only reason for morals is that they're written down in the Bibble, and completely fail to understand the concepts of consent and the avoidance of harm. Don't lecture people on what is right until you can explain right from wrong yourself, idiot.
If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs. Why not tolerate murderers and rapists. Why not tolerate serial killers. I mean seriously, when are we going TO START STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!"
Ok seriously, if everyone had your type of mindset, this would be one screwed up nation. some random guy on the Internet might be offended!!1!!!1!1!11!!one!!!!eleventy!
If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs.
Here's why not.

A dog can't sign a marriage license.
Why not tolerate murderers and rapists. Why not tolerate serial killers.
Hey! Who used up all of my Acme Slip-O butter? It was you, wasn't it Keith? Don't lie! I know you were up all night buttering that slope!
I mean seriously, when are we going TO START STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! Come on guys.
You know, that's actually a good point.
Come on! Stand up for what's right!
ok your comparing having two people marrying to people marry animals and murders and rapist. what the hell is wrong with you? marriage is defined as one man one woman, if u allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another?
Ah, yes. Come up with an arbitrary definition. Declare that anything other than that definition is the same as every other thing that isn't that definition.
"Moving" is defined as moving from one suburban house to another suburban house. If we allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another? If you let people move into apartments, then the next thing you know, they'll be stealing houses owned by other people!
"Eating" is defined as consuming only the food you need to survive. If we allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another? If you let people eat more than their exact calorie needs, then the next thing you know, they'll be eating little kids!
"Good music" is defined as songs from the sixties. If we allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another? If you let people listen to songs from the seventies, then the next thing you know, anyone who enjoys '60s music will be rounded up and shot!
@Wolf O'Donnell (SWHQ)The difference, of course, being that dogs aren't human beings...
Actually, the difference in species is technically not relevant to the question of marriage. If you could find a dog capable of speaking a human langauge fluently and able to demonstrate human intelligence, that dog would be capable of giving informed consent, and it would be perfectly acceptable for a human to marry that dog, assuming both were willing. It would be weird and perhaps icky, and that situation is obviously impossible (or at least extremely improbable) given the dearth of human-intelligence talking dogs, but if that situation were to occur, there would be nothing wrong with it.
"Ok seriously, if everyone had your type of mindset, this would be one screwed up nation. If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs"
*sigh* What's wrong with you people? A dog cannot sign a marriage contract, and isn't even a person! And you call homosexuals weird.
"Why not tolerate murderers and rapists. Why not tolerate serial killers."
And homosexuals are like murderers and rapists...how?
"I mean seriously, when are we going TO START STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! Come on guys"
Exactly how is gay marriage wrong?
"marriage is defined as one man one woman, if u allow one thing outside of that, why not allow another?"
Well, marriage used to mean a man was selling his daughter to another man for money or political gain. Why not go back to that, then?
/marriage is defined as one man one woman,/
Really? David, Solomon, and Jacob called. They want you to know that their multiple marriages to multiple women are perfectly legal and tolerated in the Bible. Solomon also wants to let you know that his numerous concubines are also tolerated. After all, that's not what made him fall out of favor with God. It was his excessive pride and eventual disloyalty.
“Ok seriously, if everyone had your type of mindset, this would be one screwed up nation.”
“ If we should tolerate gay marriage, why not tolerate guys marrying dogs.”
"Why not tolerate murderers and rapists.”
“Why not tolerate serial killers.”
“I mean seriously, when are we going TO START STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! Come on guys.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
