Who conducted the poll?
What poll?
I look forward to watching it. Are you going to play the role of the drag queen?
What type of discrimination are gay groups advocating towards Christians?
Oh, probably those gays who won't roll over and die for the religious right. You know, really terrible discrimination.

Last I checked Marriage was not simply a secular issue, it is a religious one. What's next force churches to marry gay couples in violation of the core principles of their religion. You can't start persecuting another group and call it equality.
Its not simply a religious issue either, did you know non-religious couples also get married? even couples who don't wish to have children get married......and maybe even hemephradites get married, I bet that is a real insult to the christians. or maybe christians should stop using religion as an excuse to discriminate against homosexuals.
Now if they also believed non-christains should not be able to marry, and couples who do not plan on having children(like you are supposed to traditionally) then it would not look like such obvious discrimination.

It's simple actually, call it a civil union from a secular standpoint as far as the state is concerned for both heterosexual and homosexual couples, and the term "marriage" refers to having undergone the church wedding.
Ok so are you ok with civil unions being treated the same as marriges legally? or should the state consider the civil union invalid because it was not undergone at a church.
Keep in mind some straight couples do not undergo a church wedding either, are their marriges also not valid?

That's exactly my response to Inuyasha.

Or how about how wonderful government run healthcare is supposed to be, personally I fail to see how telling a woman to kill herself is wonderful...
A 64 year old women, and cancer survivor, living in Oregon; Ms. Wagner learned her cancer had returned and would likely kill her. There was a chance for her survival however, a $4,000 a month drug which her doctor felt she was a good candidate for. Sadly her insurance provider determined this was not a good allocation of resources and denied coverage. Ms. Wagner is now dead from cancer. Which insurance company denied her coverage? Which greedy corporation put profits ahead of people and let Ms. Wagner die when lifesaving care was available? As I stated above, Oregon's state run health insurance plan determined $4,000 was too large an expense for a 64 year old women who had already had cancer once before. A better use of funds would be a $50 assisted suicide pill. This is what was offered to Ms. Wagner in an unsigned letter, this was her “public option”. (Recap, the greedy drug manufacturer offered Ms. Wagner free cancer drugs after her Government health plan denied coverage)

Kaichgauer asked me why I'm not taking Democrats at their word, so I was listing examples.
No. You said:
And he asked why you felt that. Now you suggest you meant that Democrats will stop gay marriage in NY because they aren't trustworthy? Er....what?
I think you became confused about what thread you were posting in and rather than admit it, your instinct was to be deceptive. That's how fragile your ego is. The other possibility is that you recognized you were losing and looking foolish so you decided to spam another topic.

that does not mean you have to go on an anti-universal healthcare rant......relax we still have inefficient healthcare that follows the buisness model.
And he asked why you felt that. Now you suggest you meant that Democrats will stop gay marriage in NY because they aren't trustworthy? Er....what?

I am saying we're assuming the protections for religious institutions will remain in place, and I'm saying I doubt it, because past history has shown the Democrats are notorious for not keeping their word.

And Republicans are? I think politicians in general are notorious for not keeping their word.

Republicans have a better track record than Democrats, not that much better, but still it is a significant enough difference.

Really? based on what self justification, you're side has to be better?
A divorced person is perfectly free, legally to remarry.
When has the state attempted to force the Roman Catholic Church to perform such a wedding? If the state has exercised restraint in allowing the church to refuse to perform these weddings (which are in much greater demand than same-sex weddings, incidentally), why should we believe that they will not continue so to do?

NO! NO! Don't get him started, or the whole point of the topic will get switched to how Republicans are allegedly more honest than Democrats!

sorry, I would not want that.
The Democrats have neither the ability, nor the intent, to deny protections to religious institutions.
Look: blacks and whites are allowed to intermarry, according to the secular laws of this country. No church that opposes miscegenation is forced to perform a ceremony for them. And yes, there are such churches in this country. As visagrunt said, the Catholic church is permitted to refuse wedding ceremonies to couples of whom it disapproves, even if the state will recognize them. I even know of at least one church where the pastor refused to marry a couple who had been having pre-marital sex. The law will never step in and compel religious institutions to do things they don't want to do.
In short, you are paranoid and delusional. Let it go already.
