How did they know this?
I recognize when two logical arguments have the same basic form. It's not my fault if you don't.
I didn't mock a value, I mocked a category error. Natural law, tradition, and religion are, by their very nature of relying on received wisdom, opposed to reason, intellectual curiosity, and free inquiry, which rely on being willing to defy received wisdom. This is regardless of whether the particular value espoused by the natural law/tradition/religion is one with which I would agree or disagree.

Google.
If saying that the status of being a bigot can be factually determined, and has been done in this particular case, are sufficient to damn me, than I am happy to be damned.
Can you show the Google result they would have seen before they sued Elane Photography?
This is funny as you have yet to do anything beside promote the victim mentality and play word games in an attempt to find fault. Perhaps you should follow your own advice.
our literature is replete, across hundreds of years of development, with references where the meaning of the term "marriage" has denoted a union of distinctly different things, as different as a man and a woman in some striking way. You liberals and other agenda pushers are being intellectually dishonest in trying to blur the fact of hetersexual marriage being a distinctly different thing than homosexual perversions of the natural relation, and are in many significant ways different form the natural sexual function that is productive in nature, and that has been the fact of nature from the beginning of time. Our natures as men and women are in fact distinctly different.
The game of marbles has suffered the lost of some of it's original sense because we found out that glass and steel can be used in the "game". We don't make different games called "glassies" or "steelies" and in fact do use these kinds of marbles in the same play, but in the minds of the players they are accepted even though the players place significantly different values on the various kinds of "marbles", sometimes using that general term when speaking of the more exceptional alternatives. The point is, they all can be "shot" the same way, and depend on comparable skill in their use. I could probably graphically describe how homosexual relations are not "sexual" in some significant ways, along the lines of what goes where and how. Maybe you could just believe me, it's definitely not the same game. No matter what you call it.
using rocks and sling shots would not be the same game as "marbles" for all the same reasons.
It is just intellectually dishonest to try to say otherwise. Period.
Do people have rights. Yes. Should people have different rights based on personal choices in their private lives? No.
I am saying that strategy of seeking a new legal equivalence and meaning for different lifestyles is harmed by the attempt to degrade the meaning of heterosexual marriage and devalue the positives that correctly belong in that context. Society and law are justified for placing reasonable values and legal standing for heterosexual marriage because of it's unique power of natural procreation and the circumstances following from that in regard to child rearing and welfare.
should gay coupes be "allowed" to raise children? should single parents be allowed to raise children? I don't believe in government making those choices or regulating those personal choices out of existence, and I think what people do financially in personal relations should also be out of the government's meddlesome hands as well.
In that entire rant, you didn't once mention how the kids with the glassies and the steelies suffered because some other game existed with the same name.
well, in fact, bestiality has been a "norm" in some areas, as well as cannibalism and murder. loosely speaking some cultures have toyed pretty close to necrophilia in cannibalism that was thought to vest the eater with the former spirit/powers of the deceased, making the rituals associated pretty heady stuff psychologically, worthy of song and dance.
Pretty much it has always required some thoughtful and determined effort to achieve any elevation in society along any line of "development" or preference. That's always been the role of "taboo" and imputing shame on others in any way.
shame on you "liberals" who can't tolerate other people for having ideals you don't think are for the best. Who made you the Gods we have to obey????
I'm sorry, but I just can't take it seriously when one of the privilege-soaked starts whining about the "victim mentality" and "word games" because they have no real argument to offer. Your examples of a Catholic adoption agency and a Muslim lecturer were ill-founded and false. That's not my fault. So quit whining about the big, bad liberal throwing the ball too fast, and learn to swing faster. Or find a different playground. or stay home. Or don't do any of that, and keep striking out and whining if you really want to. I'm not changing how hard I throw.
