Homosexual marriages- against the natures law?

My pleasure, here's another one: your repeated last statement is a Freudian slip.

...homosexuality is a cancer affecting social fibre.

Does that sound familiar enough to you?

You have thrived on this topic, posting one unfounded claim after another. As each one is disproved they become increasingly ridiculous, until we arrive at 'gut feeling.' Come off it.

I cannot turn morons into men. Until I acquire that ability, I will have to ban you.

The only reason I am not deleting this entire topic is because here we have a thorough disproval of all the claims possible against homosexual marriage. Thank you Jackisgreat, Bratannia, Oswy, sherrybaby, Cicero for your contributions.

Matthewg,

Doesn't this statement show that you are biassed and only prepared to tolerate a point of view that is agreement with your own?

I would also urge you not to refer to users as 'morons'. Please try to be a little more sporting.

Can we get this thread off the topic 'Homosexuality - right or wrong' and back on to the original debate if people are still interested.

Is homosexual marriage (not relationships but MARRIAGE) against whatever we decided natures' law is!

I would like to know what these supposedly offensive statements were, and how they could possibly have related to inciting hate crimes or the murder of six million Jews.
I think you have gone way over the top Matthewg, but of course this is only my opinion - one I believe I am firmly entitled to without fear of censorship.

Is it or is it not? first let us have some definition of terms here. I see four important terms which we ought to understand from a common ground. Homosexual:the tendecy to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex. Marriage:the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband and wife in a consensual and contracted relationship recognized by law. Natural:based on an inherent sense of right and wrong. Law:binding custom or practice by a community. Now the argument.
Homosexual marriage is against the law for the following reasons:
1. It is not a union between man and woman as marriage does not and cannot define homosexuality.
2. What is inherently right and wrong? majority of the existing societies shun homosexual union and as such inherently wrong.
3. Lest it ibecome a custom among cultures, it is not binding.
Homosexual union is therefore inherently wrong, not binding and is not and cannot be contracted in marriage.
Martin Heidegger's consept of dasein can apply to this concept of homosexual union. A thing (esse) attains its essence when it is used according to its purpose. marriage's purpose and ultimate essence is not living together as man and wife but it is procreation. All the other aspects of marriage are just appendages and effect of the union.
If marriage were to be contracted between two individuals who cannot procreated, they are living on the periphery of the essence of marriage and thus not achieving their nature and their dasein.
