O’Reilly’s beef was that religious types give only arguments based on religion to oppose gay marriage, rather than those based on policy considerations - but they’e not interested in policy arguments - and whether O’Reilly understands it or not, eventually the issue will end up being a religious one - the government can grant gays all the marital rights at its disposal, but they will not be satisfied until they achieve the right of the spiritual, emotional and sacred marriage provided under religions - and the government can not order any religion to grant these rights in opposition to thousands of years of its teaching and practice - not even Sotomayor and Kagan could go along with that.....

There are natural law arguments against homosexual "marriage," it's just that Bill isn't familiar with them. And if Bill isn't familiar with the arguments, they don't exist.

Most opponents of homosexual "marriage" are Christians, have faith in the Bible or the Church, and don't require natural law arguments to be convinced.

Still, it's a simple case to make. Marriage is a lifetime commitment between a man and a woman, for their mutual good, and for the begetting and raising of children.

The purpose of homosexual "marriage" is... what? A lifetime relationship? How is that different from friendship? Sodomy? That's "marriage"? So people are "married" to whoever they sodomize? The phrase "homosexual marriage" is nonsensical, like "square circle."

No, government can’t, but some “so-called religions” already are! For starters, check out the Unitarians and some of the Episcopalians. Or Father Prager in Chi town.

Well said, but I wouldn’t be so sure about the SC.
