It is precisely logical, therefore it is rational... You're deceitfully claiming that you're ignorant of the dozens of times prior to that post wherein I set forth the defining elements of marriage and the singular purpose for such.
Obviously it isn't. Which is why you spend all your time telling us how logical it is rather than demonstrating it with a logical, rational argument. Or through shoring up any of the holes in your claims. Like.....infertile couples. Or childless couples. Or grandparents. If the only purpose in sex is procreation then why would infertile couples ever have sex?
Clearly there is more than one purpose to sex.
If the only purpose in marriage is children, then why are the marriages of infertile couples, childless couples or your grandparents still valid?
Clearly there's more than one purpose in marriage.
Your argument can't take any of this into account and breaks the moment its mentioned.
You're further claiming that because individuals who otherwise meet the standards of marriage: Marriage is the joining of one man and one woman... have been accepted in marriage, that this precedent requires that those who do NOT meet the standards, should also be accepted.
If the 'joining of one man and one woman' aren't necessary to satisfy all purposes of marriage, then they're arbitrary standards. As infertile couples demonstrate, neither procreation nor the ability to procreate are a requirement for a valid marriage. There are clearly other purposes to the union that have nothing to do with children or the ability to have children.
There are simply no requirement of marriage that must be met that gays and lesbians in same sex unions can't meet. So on what basis would we exclude them?
No rational basis. No logical basis. But I'm sure you have quite a few emotional bases that you'd like to use. The problem is that your feelings don't define anyone else's rights.
Such is unreasonable, and it is unreasonable because your cult is founded upon a profound delusion... your advocacy is likewise set upon a profound deceit, which rests upon that delusion. Your demand that others accept your behavior and are perfectly happy to use the power of the state to render those who reject your behavior into servitude, PROVES the FOLLY OF TOLERATING YOU AND THE FRAUDULENCE YOU REPRESENT.
You're offering us nested assumptions, each resting on the last, none of them logically or rationally established. You're simply offering us your personal opinion....which you're welcome to. But your opinion and beliefs don't define or in any way effect someone else's rights. Which is why your argument remains pristinely irrelevant to same sex marriage in this country. And why the marriages of gays and lesbians are being recognized by State after State as just as valid and just as worthy of protection as any marriage of straight folks.
