“To drag these into her support of same-sex marriage is to openly declare you don’t have a strong enough argument against same-sex marriage for it to stand on its own. “
On the contrary: the argument used by Carrie applies to these as well. Frankly, polygamy has a much stronger standing as marriage than a couple of homosexuals butt-plugging.
And if that 24 year old ‘loves’ her Dad, then “I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love.”
Except that statement by CU is both extremely STUPID and completely contrary to the Christian faith.
That's another argument.
Don't you see? You can't attack her argument for it's application to other issues. You have to attack her argument for it's own sake.
A perfect example is what liberals do with virtually everything they touch - they invoke the magic "could" - "This could lead to that, so it needs to be banned." "That could lead to this, so it needs to be banned." Think of what the FDA, and the EPA, and all the other agencies do with this on a daily basis.
These aren't trivialities. They're the WAY the Left wins things. And by not dealing with them properly, conservatives win the morality game while losing the political game. And look around you and see how well that's worked.
Note - I'm not saying anyone needs to loosen up on any beliefs. Rather, I'm saying people need to give the same level of discipline to the proper expression of those beliefs, as they give to the beliefs themselves.
