Please look at what I was responding to; you’d said something about being uncomfortable…
Oh and as for scientists, your argument about accepting some science, etc. didn’t I mention cognitive dissonance later on?
That wasn’t specifically aimed at you, but where’s the empathy for those being discriminated against?
Hopefully not pushing your religion on the unfortunates who need help (something that happens too often).
Rubbish; after religions stop claiming tax deductions, only then maybe whine about me being less-than-nice to organisations which have continued & covered up raping children for decades, all while labelling themselves as being all that’s good, pure, and better than those of us who don’t believe their mythology.
Look at the context again; you were complaining that Atheists are mean, so I retorted that at least we’re not persecuting innocent people who aren’t harming anyone.
Of course they can but you don’t seem to have backed up your view with anything substantial, and my reading was that your religious views seem to be influencing your view on this topic, even though you appeared to have been looking for any other (flimsy) excuse/reason.
You haven’t shown any hurt that would follow SSM.
Again, that’s no reason to deprive some people who aren’t hurting anyone.
Why should they have to wait until us imperfect heterosexuals perhaps, eventually, perfect marriage? How will you define such perfection? No divorce? For how long?
That analogy doesn’t fit this topic. It’s just not a bucket.
Because doing so continues to discriminate against innocent people.
On the News Corp story, since when does reporting some (perhaps silly opinion) become advocacy?
The story seems to be just a bunch of quotes from those three people. I didn’t see anything there that couldn’t just be for click-bait, or maybe an attempt to agitate their conservative readers, create a controversy, etc.
Of course there are all sorts of reasons why a relationship fails. Who was suggesting otherwise?
On the ill-equipped thing, perhaps we need more relationship & family planning taught later in high school? (But still that doesn’t justify continuing discrimination.)
Shame you’ve confirmed that you’re set in your views, and unfortunately want to push your view on innocent people.
