Reply #12: But 8 is still a valid argument [View All]

I'm sorry, but this is still a valid argument:

"8. If you don't "believe" that gays should get married, that is your opinion and you're entitled to it... however, your opinion should not be enshrined in the secular legal system as a law, forced upon everyone. It is wrong to legislate opinions. An awful lot of people don't believe gay people should be treated as second class citizens and denied basic rights and security in their lives with their partners."

Taste shouldn't be legislated. Opinion shouldn't be legislated. How exactly do you disagree with that?

Example: I don't like FOX News. That doesn't mean that FOX News should be banned by law. I don't like mushrooms. That doesn't mean mushrooms should be banned by law. Jewish law says one shouldn't eat pork. That doens't mean consumption of pork should be banned for everyone via secular law.

Secular law is not where you enshrine religious belief.
