What can you add without changing the meaning and context? (Chick-Fil-A) - Page 19 - Religion, God, and Theology

To be fair to his point, while there has been a remarkably fast change in public opinion, elected official opinion, and flipping of states, and there is more of this to come, there is a swath of states where the consitutional bans are going to put a big pause on the momentum. I don't think we can expect a 6 states/year rate every year for the next five years kinda thing. That said, getting those states to entirely remove meant government from marriage will be undoubtably be even harder.

(Assuming the Supreme Court opts not to rule on merits, that is)

No bias there...

Just curious if you even read the study, or any summaries of the study that are likely to be less biased, rather than just the FRC's interpretation of the study? If you did, then you'd know that the study does not even compare SSM parents with hetero-married parents!

That was the most immediately obvious flaw with the study. It doesn't even matter about any additional flaws, if it doesn't include any data from SSM, what is it useful for wrt SSM?

"But your studies all suck" is trending UP.

There are children living within a few hundreds yards of me that I would happily remove from their negligent, undereducated, racist, homophobic, unemployed, lazy pathetic excuses for parents and give to homosexual couples that I know to be raised, where they would be assured of a loving, sensitive, supportive, open minded environment and would be much less likely to grow up to say things like what you just said.

Does the 'good' about religion really outweigh, or even equal the bad'? I think I'm at the 'net negative' position right now.

I'm fairly certain quite a bit of people on this forum can corroborate that there are plenty of horribly unfit parents whose children would have been better off with another family... gulp, even a gay couple.

And we have decades of evidence from studies that corroborate that Gays tend to be great parents.

Nothing hasty about it.

[ Since we're citing one-offs ]

Related story in the news... Celebrity gay couple who is *puke* expecting twins via a surrogate is now divorcing. One gay claims the other is an unfaithful sex-addict that hires prostitutes (May 20 issue People magazine). The other one claims that their ex-partner is a drug addict.

Yeah, these two unborn babies have a real bright future with these two. Sigh.

festering zit is just straight up bigot ranting now. This post does not to further any rational argument but lets us know that he feels like puking at the idea of a gay couple having kids.

Is it just as well for us to post that the idea of festering zit passing on his bigotry to kids of his own should make most people puke? Seems comparable to me.

If you don't want people to know you are a homophobe, don't use the word "puke" when describing gay couples.

Nice try, but only a very small % of people that disagree with homosexuality are actually "homophobes."

And, my usage of *puke* was in response to post #452.

But yeah, the idea of homosexuals adopting children does indeed make me puke.

Polls around the world on the issue are roughly split 50/50, so according to your stupidity, 50% of the world is homophobic.

Half of the world is against gay adoption, so in your words, they are all bigots.

Oh wait, they're only bigots if they say "puke" against the idea?

Friggen comedy gold.

Look in the mirror, maybe you're the bigot?

Nope. You can be against gay adoption for a number of reasons without being prejudiced and/or intolerance. This, however, almost certainly isn't the case with you. And yes, using "puke" to describe the idea of a gay couple adopting a child is a pretty good indicator that the person is a bigot.

Ok. Where's the problem? You say this like it's an argument against you (and apparently half the world) actually being bigots, but I'm just not seeing it.

As an example, I wouldn't consider someone like lemonzest prejudiced or intolerant if he thinks gay adoption is not God's will, and thus he should be against it as well, but nonetheless he maintains a live and let live attitude.
