  2. And gays marrying will have no more effect on that than seniors
    marrying.
    I don't know about that. I've never been religious at all, nor are
    any of my friends, yet we all seem to take our marriages very
    seriously. People as a whole are a lot more selfish, but I don't
    believe that it is religion that makes people less selfish. I've
    known too many Sunday Christians for that to be true.
    Does having a gay couple living next door to you lessen the community?
    If this argument were to hold water it should have been made as soon
    as people started getting married outside of churches.

  3. If marriage is about those values and you don't want gays to get
    married, I thought maybe you thought gay marriage would remove those
    values from the definition of marriage.
    True enough, but it's an excellent example of rights being trampled.
    Society is evolving. 20 years ago you couldn't be openly gay, now
    it's a lot less of a big deal in most circles and doesn't matter at
    all in many.
    Depends on where you are and what the circumstances are. At work?
    Certainly. At the beach? Shouldn't be an issue. If it's a really
    hot day at the park? Well, why not?

  4. Nudity isn't forbidden and therefore isn't a big deal.
    A very small subset is able to, yet there are very firm limits.

  6. Semantics. If I don't have the right to free speech, for me it
    doesn't exist.

  7. People as a whole don't appear to believe in the integrity of marriage
    now. You're defending something that for most people doesn't mean
    anything.
    And each generation remembers how bad they had it when they were young
    and only remembers the "good old days". The world changes.

    You're redefining.

    And I will suggest that if you use something as an example, you should
    know what it is.

    Don't paint me as too much of an expert. Most of my knowledge is about
    the "free market medical system". My wife is a veterinarian and has
    just opened her own shop with a partner. They can charge whatever the
    market will take, and will make our physician friends very envious with
    the amount she will make vs the time she will put in (after the loan is
    paid off, that is).

    THat's not what the New Testament says.
    It's about the two people being married leaving their respective
    families and becoming one

    That's not the same as the right existing.
    Without a government, there ar estill many ways to protect my right to
    life.
    The government doesn't stop that, does it?
    Ah, then you didn't respond to what I wrote; you responded to
    something else.
    I wrote:
    "This is an interesting concept; some rights are granted by the
    community (the right to drive, for example), while others are
    guaranteed (and recognized as existing absent any government) by the
    government, such as, for example, the right to life."

    As you see, I spoecifically said the right to life was guaranteed, not
    granted. And you specifically responded to that:
    "And the rights that Americans view as "God given" are derived from
    the original framework of what America is. Under that agreement that
    formed the state were some rights that the state is not allowed to
    take away. Remove the state however and those rights no longer
    exist."
