Then explain how it is detrimental to the 'institution" of it.
.Except it is consistent for the reasons stated. I don't care that people get remarried because that's better than the alternative. I do care that the sanctity of marriage has gotten corrupted to the point that people don't take marriage as seriously as they should. They marry without considering it as a life commitment and get divorced without working out the problems in their marriages. That's no reason for chipping away at the sanctity of marriage further.
You're basing your entire argument, on an OP-ED piece.
I take it then that you believe, as Barry Lynn does, that Christ did not do a physical resurrection from his tomb.

I love it. The two "extreme righties" going at it over "gay marriage". While Freedom's tolerant stance is surprising, if not generous...DY's stance cannot be defended on the merits....bigoted fossil that he is. One day he'll be dead and gays will be free to marry in every state in the union. It just can't happen fast enough.
Its your stance that can't be justified, Poet. Gay marriage serves no benefit to society...

Jesus said marriage was a man and a woman.

With the sole exception of procreation without assistance, gay marriage serves the exact same benefits to society that straight marriage does.
I have asked you numerous times, but let me try one more time. What benefits, besides unassisted procreation, does heterosexual marriage serve to society that gay marriage does not?
Thanks for confirming that "Gay marriage serves no benefit to society..."You're confused.........again. My stance is justified by the number of gay individuals, the world over, who are married, recognized and not. The majority of individuals believe that gay marriages or gay unions should be permitted. You're in the minority. And therein lies the rub. Acceptance is your only way out.
Society isn't the beneficiary of marriage. Society is made up of single, divorced, widowed and separated individuals, men and women, gay and straight, old and young. Marriage is a benefit and a boon to individuals who choose to live their lives together regardless of society.

Then there's no reason for society to grant the privilege, duh.I would disagree with that in general, but even if that's the case...so what?

What a stupid question......thats like asking , "Besides curing you of illness, what benefits does taking medicine have ?"
Procreation is in itself what benefits society and the protections for that offspring and nurturing mother....
It does appear, from the number of posts, that certain heterosexuals believe that if gay marriges are recognized that it will bring an end to heterosexual marriages.
