History has never shown churches being forced to perform gay marriages. That history changes is indisputable. That history changes in the exact manner you're lamenting about is very much in dispute. As there's exactly nothing indicating it will.
You're simply offering us your imagination of some future event that may happen at some future time.....unless it doesn't. Because, you know, history.
That's silly. You're not predicting anything, you're offering us the likelihood of anything. You're simply verbalizing emotion.
History has shown that things people said would never change have.
There's no indication that history will change on this issue. You have nothing. No public support, no changes in the law, no credibly proposed changes, no history of this ever happening.
Your argument is quite literally 'because you can't prove it won't happen, it must happen'. That's not logical. As the former doesn't support the latter.
My argument is that things people said would never happen have and this is no different. There is history to prove that things change and this is as likely as anything else whether you agree or not. You agreement isn't necessary. All you need to do is accept that it can and be willing to admit you were wrong when it does.
The problem with your argument is that it doesn't demonstrate any particular future outcome. As things people said would never happen.....still haven't happened. So 'things people have said would never happen' isn't a predictive model. As it produces both results. With almost all of those results contradicting you.
So what evidence do you have that churches will be required to perform gay weddings? Show us, don't tell us.
A lot of things people said would never happen have and are somewhat related to what I say the peter puffers and carpet munchers will attempt. You're simply unwilling to acknowledge that is can, say now that this shouldn't, but will be right up front when it does claiming you supported it all the time.
A lot of people said things would never happen....that didn't happen. Your model predicts nothing. Yet you insist it *will* happen.
So what evidence do you have that churches will be forced to accommodate gay weddings?
