"their brute force penetration into marriage by the back door"

Ouch.

[goldstategop]

Yup. Don't remind us how gays make love. Anyway, when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau gave Canada an enforceable Charter Of Rights and Freedoms he upended the Fathers Of The Confederation who for good reason refused to provide for judicial review. They believed Parliament should be supreme in making the law and that if it trangressed the rights of the people, they could hold it accountable in the voting booth. In the old days of parliamentary supremacy, no court in Canada would have dared to read an ideological notion into the law contrary to the intentions of the elected representatives of the people.

This will affect our lives more than we know...

It is my belief that marriage was created and instituted by God. Just read the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. It was designed for a union between a man and a woman. Any variation of this union by government or any other organization is absolutely ridiculous and is a complete corruption of something so sacred. Then again, so isn't everything else that has it roots in God. I myself...LOVE MY WIFE!

[goldstategop]

Its the old joke: God would have a partner exactly like Adam if He hadn't screwed up with that side he took out of the poor fellow.

[cre8ivenotes]

To clarify my previous post. When I said the following line:

"Then again, so isn't everything else that has it roots in God" I mean that government and other organizations change and distort things so out of context that they become corrupted from the original.

The part of the charter that forbids discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is also a court-created amendment to the constitution. It was SPECIFICLY left out of the charter of rights but the courts ruled it to be in there in violation the constitution's amendment formula.

I wish Ontario defied the ruling and created a constitutional crisis. We need one, perhaps Alberta can help with that.

[goldstategop]

Push for a complete repeal of the Charter Of Rights and Freedoms and a restoration of parliamentary supremacy. The original design of the Fathers worked well and its time to take Canada back to it.

Divorce, feminism and pre-marital cohabitation among heterosexual people have done ten times more to change the institution of marriage in the West than gay marriage can or possibly will.

Fifty years ago, when asked to define the key provisions marriage, a reasonable person could have answered "a lifelong union in which a man assumes from a woman's father the obligation to support the woman and the right to be obeyed by the woman, and pursuant to which a woman grants sexual access she would otherwise withhold and agrees to bear and raise the children of the union of the union with the man's support and subject to his oversight."

There is literally not one word of that equation which is presently accurate.

By the "logic" of the Ontario Court, there is no logical reason to have ANY restrictions on arrangements that constitute a marriage. The most obvious is multiple-partner arrangements, next, incestuous relationships, but using their "logic" one can easily make a case for human-animal "marriages".

They're out in looney land. The belief that by the stroke of a pen they can overturn natural law, common law and thousands of years of history is farcical. The Ontario Court should be impeached forthwith.

[Between the Lines]

"Divorce, feminism and pre-marital cohabitation among heterosexual people have done ten times more to change the institution of marriage in the West than gay marriage can or possibly will."

Divorce, feminism, pre-marital cohabitation and homosexual marriage are all just symptoms of the same disease, Liberalism. Liberalism is what has been attacking the family for decades and will not cease until everything God intended as normal is considered abnormal and everything abnormal is considered normal.

[goldstategop]

Of course. But then they were all appointed by the Liberal government in Ottawa. In Canada, ALL judges are named by the federal government.

Not much of a joke.

Since you are referring to the Old Testament, didn't those characters often have more than one wife? It was also okay in the Old Testament to sell your daughtes into slavery.

Apparently God had a changing view on marriage and women.

[laotzu]

Any marriage older than four years is better than average these days. I've been married twenty-one easy, enjoyment filled, very educational years. By the time I reach up into real numbers, 'marriage' won't have any meaning.

[JonathansMommie]

These people need to keep their lifestyle inside the bedroom and stop forcing it upon everyone else,raising flags,and marching in freak parades.

[Windsong]

"It was also okay in the Old Testament to sell your daughtes into slavery.

Book, and Chapter please.

[jlogajan]

Exodus 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

"Divorce, feminism and pre-marital cohabitation among heterosexual people have done ten times more to change the institution of marriage"

Those things exist OUTSIDE the institution of marriage. Gay marriage is a hostile infiltration of the institution.

"Fifty years ago, when asked to define the key provisions marriage..."

The traditional definition of marriage in Canadian law came from the 1800's and wasn't anything like what you say it would have been (and was) just 50 years ago.

"There is literally not one word of that equation which is presently accurate. "

My wife and I have a very happy and traditional marriage, I guess we run in different social circles than you do for we know many others with such marriages. It is still the ideal that nearly everyone aspires to and people hold in respect those who manage to pull it off. The fact that many fall short of it is not relevant as that is a reflection of problems in society, not problems with the institution of marriage itself.
