toldailytopic: Same-sex marriage: for it, or against it?

[chrysostom]

Hmm. You just admitted in post #1583 that not all married couples can conceive, nor should it be be a requirement for a married couple to have children. Therefore asserting that the purpose of marriage is to protect the child is redundant, as has been stated to you across this thread.

See the logic now?

it shouldn't be a requirement because it could not reasonably be enforced

 

[Silent Hunter]

they are then defeating the purpose

. . . said the . . . virgin.

. . . are you married chrys?

. . . do you have children?

 

[Silent Hunter]

it shouldn't be a requirement because it could not reasonably be enforced

. . . neither can having sex . . . just because it is an enjoyable experience either . . . .

it shouldn't be a requirement because it could not reasonably be enforced

There's no reason why it should be a requirement for marriage to begin with. Would you only allow couples to marry if they had the intention of reproducing had you the power to enforce such?

Ah, so all married couples who don't desire or who feel they're not in a position to raise a family should just abstain from sexual intimacy then. :kookoo:

 

[Arthur Brain]

yes

Well thank you for a rare straight answer to a question if nothing else then. Thankfully you're not in a position to dictate who should and shouldn't be able to marry.

:e4e:

 

[Silent Hunter]

yes

. . . have you quit answering question chrys?

. . . how about a couple of oldies but goodies . . .

. . . are you married?

. . . do you have children?

 

[Silent Hunter]

. . . to chrysostom . . .

Thankfully you're not in a position to dictate who should and shouldn't be able to marry.

. . . Hallelujah . . .
. . . and . . .
. . . Amen Brother !!!

producing children is the purpose of sex between a man and a woman

It is? Then why do men and women who are unable to produce children still have sex? Bonding? Enjoyment? Exercise?

I believe that God may have more than one purpose in mind when He bestows gifts.

Yes, among other things.
John 10:10; ..."I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
You are stuck in a rut.

so you are not worried about the children?

Seriously Chrysostom, you lost this discussion 40 pages ago. Repeating the same questions over and over again does not help your cause, it only demonstrates that you are unable to actually argue your case so you will rather keep disrupting with asking the same questions over and over again.

Allowing homosexual marriage does nothing to hurt children. Not to mention the fact that homosexual couples also takes care of children and they seem to be capable of doing it well.
