Crazy freep-think: "allowing gays to marry will lead to other things"
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 01:56 PM by sparosnare
I have heard this reasoning today. That giving gays this right will be a slippery slope and will lead to legalizing other "unchristian" practices like polygamy and incestuous relationships.

What are these freaks so afraid of????

32. Use of the bible
Will generally cover many subjects in the manner that each xtian cult wishes. In fact that was going on even before Jesus was born. It is still going on in every neo-socio-political forum of the world.

7. The slippery slope started when we let Freepers marry
and reproduce. Tell them to renounce their own marriages.

9. Everything. They are afraid of EVERYTHING.
Anything which might remind them that other people have different views
is perceived as an "attack on their traditional values".

And once they START from such a delusional premise,
the conclusions they come to are predetermined to be just as insane.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias, so they want no part of it.

12. Truth too. We speak the truth, and they can't deal with it.
They operate in a world of deception - truth and reason are their enemy.

14. We already know how sick they are when it comes to sex
remember how most impeachment managers blustering against Clinton's consensual act turned out to be rapists, child molesters, stalkers? These are very sick people projecting their sickness onto us!

20. Let them.
IMHO, they should be able to. Marriage should not be recognized nor regulated by the State. :shrug:

More freedom.

30. Animal abuse would be spousal abuse. bwhahahaha
I was only joking. Sort of. But this whole argument is just inherently pointless. Who cares if people in India want to marry a cobra? That's none of my, or the government's business.

28. Obviously they are not secure in their own faith.
Otherwise they wouldn't be so afraid of things that might tempt them.

33. My answer, let it slip down that slope. So what?
If three, four or five+ consenting adults want to engage in cohabitation, sexual relationships and other "marital" interactions with each other, who am I to stop them. Its okay for these people to do these things as long as they don't claim to be married. So three plus people "living in sin" is okay, but when they try to marry it becomes polygamy and is somehow bad. What is bad about polygamy and incest is the sexual abuse and physical abuse that often accompanies the lifestyles. If there is coersion of minors or any type of child abuse, it must eb stopped. There are laws protecting minors which should be enforced. If there is physical, mental, emotional or sexual abuse of an adult, criminal laws protecting people should be enforced. If consenting adults of sound mind choose to engage is relationships with multiple partners or with a sibling or other relative, I say let them do what they want. I don't want anyone judging what my wife and I do, I won't judge what others do, as long as there is no coersion or physical, mental, sexual or emotional abuse.

35. Polygamy
Not too many people would willingly enter into a polygamous union. That's why it's generally a coercive thing in the few communities in this country where it is practiced. So unless they think marrying your 14 year old niece against her will is going to become legal....oh wait...They'd probably like that!

Never mind. :eyes:
