Don't you EVER, EVER dare to compare your "imagined" pain of discrimination to real discrimination that really happened in Hilter's Germany.

It is clear to me that the purpose of the marriage amendment is religious discrimination -- protection of a religious "sacrament" by Christians -- against homosexuals.

Are you against civil marriages, or are you just used to them to the point where you don't think about them?

The term that comes to mind here is homophobia.

You asserted that "Homosexuals are being treated -- by Christians -- just as Hitler treated Jews." That is a LIE Show me the concentration camps. Show me evidence of mass extermination of homosexuals - here - in the USA.

Until you're willing to amend and adjust that irrational and hysterical outburst, there is no point trying to debate anything with me.

I cannot debate with someone who is not grounded in reality.

No, actually it's Christians responding to attacks by Queer nation on our value systems. Deal with it.

The battle is joined.

Marriage is no longer just about religion. It is about tradition. 800 years worth of tradition. Marriage has always been between man and woman. It is also known as matrimony.

As far as 'homophobia' is concerned, I do not fear them. I disagree with them. There is a huge difference.

If gays want something like marriage, let them create it. Just don't call it marriage, or expect the rest of us to recognize it.

Don't athiests get married?

As opposed to 'HETEROPHOBIA.'

Why do you care about religious discrimmination when you are a athiest?

Think about it.

I'm not surprised that's the term that comes to your mind. It's such an overused accusation that it's in danger of losing any meaning (if it hasn't already).

The only reason that homosexuals want their unions recognized as marriages is to try to legitimize these unions. Otherwise, why would they care so much?

The term that comes to mind here is homophobia.

The term that comes to my mind is "Homosexual Hegemony by force."

The term that comes to mind here is homophobia.....when a pro-gay uses this term "HOMOPHOBIA" it is always a last ditch effort to save a debate he all ready lost!

....in other words, it is meaningless.
