I probably missed it. There were a large number of posts all at once that came in and I really do not have the time nor the will to argue them all again in this thread. It seems that there are no more arguments on either side and to keep repeating the same things is not necessary. If you want to PM me and just kind of explore the topic and each other's opinions further, I would be glad to do so.

http://bible.org/article/homosexuali...an-perspective

And, so, many seem to believe that to change "marriage" as it is defined is to be ignorant of its origins and implications. Of course, if this were true, why didn't we see more uprisings against atheists marrying?

But, you know what -- if you want to keep "marriage" as defined as a man-woman pairing, and people absolutely don't want to extend that word to include other forms, then I think that's fine. Calling it something else is fine as long as the rights are equal to those of marriage. I think it's a reasonable compromise that still ensures equal rights.

I would agree with this.
