You are a perfect example of the breakdown and destruction of the Family and Society via gay "marriage".

How has society broken down due to Larkinn's upbringing? How has he destroyed the family? Plenty of families have crappy mothers and fathers who are not gay. You are beyond a bigot...you are a hateful bigot. A stupid one at that..

Jose said:Let’s be reasonable here, Eagle.
“A perfect example of the breakdown and destruction of the Family and Society via gay marriage” would be a young man who was raped by one of his parents and developed psychological issues as a result of the abuse.
Larkin sounds like a psychologically steady young man and does not seem to fit the stereotype mentioned above by any stretch of the imagination.
Eagle, I’m gonna be honest with you:
I enjoy reading your posts on immigration issues. You never said anything about this issue I didn’t agree, at least in principle.
But your understanding of secularism and its role
No father in Larkinn's life....breakdown of family
No paternal relatives to speak of.....breakdown of family
Raised by two lesbians considered to be "parents"...breakdown of family and society
Larkinn's an angry young man....breakdown of society
Actually, it's not "one example" of intolerance. It's another example of the intolerance of the FAITH, not the people.
Basic Beliefs of Islam
The teachings of Islam are comprised of both faith and duty (din). One branch of Muslim learning, "Tawhid", defines all that a man should believe, while the other branch, "Shari'a," prescribes everything that he should do. There is no priesthood and no sacraments. Except among the Sufis, Muslims receive instruction only from
those who consider themselves adequately learned in theology or law.
The basis for Islamic doctrine is found in the Qur'an (Koran). Muslims believe the Qur'an is the word of God, spoken by the angel Gabriel to Muhammad. The Qur'an was only in oral form while Muhammad was living, which means it was constantly interpreted by Muhammad and his disciples. It was written down in the caliphate of Abu Bakr. It alone is infallible and without error. The Qur'an is comprised of 114 surahs, or chapters, arranged from longest to shortest. For Muslims Muhammad was the last and most perfect of God's seven prophets or messengers to mankind.
In addition to the Qur'an, other documents are also referred to by followers of Islam. A number of additional sayings of Muhammad were complied in the Hadith ("tradition"). The Torat (of Moses), Suhuf (books of the prophets), Zabur (psalms of David), and the Injil (gospel of Jesus) are also studied and considered to be revelations, although they are believed to have been corrupted through time.
Six Articles of Faith
The six articles of faith are the main doctrines of Islam. All Muslims share beliefs in the following:
Allah. Like Judaism and Christianity, Islam believes there is one true Allah (The Arabic translation of the word God). Allah alone is the creator of all the universe.
Angels. Angels exist and interact with human lives. They are comprised of light, and each have different purposes or messages to bring to earth. Each man or woman has two angels who record his actions; one records good deeds, the other bad deeds.
Scripture. There are four inspired books, the Torah of Moses, the Psalms (Zabin) of David, the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Injil) and the Qur'an. All but the Qur'an have been interpreted and changed by Jews and Christians.
Prophets. God has spoken through numerous prophets throughout time. The six greatest are: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Muhammad is the last and greatest of Allah's messengers.
Afterlife. On the last day there will be a time of resurrection and judgment. Those who follow Allah and Muhammad will go to Islamic heaven, or Paradise. Those who do not will go to hell.
Divine Creed.
The Five Pillars of Faith
The five pillars of faith are duties each Muslim performs to demonstrate his or her faith.
Testimony of Faith (Kalima)- One must state, "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah." publicly to become a Muslim.
Prayer (Salat)- Prayer must be done five times a day (upon rising, at noon, in mid-afternoon, after sunset, and before going to sleep) towards the direction of Mecca. The call to prayer is sounded by the muezzin (Muslim crier) from a tower (minaret) within the mosque.
Almsgiving (Zakat)- Muslims are legally required to give one-fortieth of their income to the needy. Since those whom alms are given are helping the giver achieve salvation, there is no sense of shame in receiving charity.
Fasting (Sawm- During the holy month of Ramadan, faithful Muslims fast from sunup to sundown each day. This develops self-control, devotion to God, and identity with the needy.
Pilgrimage (Hajj)- Each Muslim is expected to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime if they have the means to do it and are physically capable of the trip. It is an essential part of gaining salvation, so the old or infirm may send someone in their place. It involves a set of rituals and ceremonies.
I see we have another "tolerant" liberal here…in other words, a true bigot….who hatefully slams anyone who disagrees with his pet views on the world.
If you cannot see how the Family and Society are breaking down here…I'd say you're the stupid one.
Because a biological family unit consists of a father and a mother…..not two mothers with one of them pretending to be a father.Larkinn said:So how is exactly being raised with 2 parents in a loving home a "break down of family"?
You have paternal relatives. It's a biological fact. Too bad you don't relate to them. But that's what happens with gay marriages…one's real family members get trashed and a substitute "family" takes place instead. That's breakdown of the original and natural family.Because one must have paternal relatives, otherwise ones not a family?
You are a part of society. Your negativity chips away at society. Your anger is a symptom of the negative impact of gay marriage…stemming from the denial of your real father…..is your anger and the anger of other children of gays good for society? I think not.Wow, I caused societies breakdown all by my lonesome? Impressive.

Tell me....why is it liberals - who worship Nature so much - turn around and defy Nature?

At life... based on every measurement that we use that defines success.
"We" = "you". Kindly don't speak for me, because I'm fairly certain that we have different measures for success. I consider people successful if they are responsible for themselves, if they work hard at whatever they do, if they respect others, but are still brave enough to stand up for themselves and the truth.
I don't know SE, but I know what your idea of "success" is. It's being privileged, confident in the assurance you have never made a mistake in your life (and if you have, unable to admit it) and certain that you are better than those around you. Particularly if they come from a background different from your own. "Success" to you is being considered "better" than the people you disdain...
Oh, but you're okay to measure the success of others on the board.
You betcha. Hypocritical, lying bitch. Good day.
until you presume to proclaim the success of failure of posters on a message board based upon nothing but your own bias, and skewed and narrow view of the world.
A akin?
Foiables?
I take hits just fine, thanks. And I point out bullshit when I see it, and I see it every time Jillian opens up her hole and spews her crap. She sees success as it pertains to class (with her presumption being that she's the upper, of course) and it makes me, and it should make everyone else, nauseous.
