SCOTUS legalizes Gay Marriage - 10th Amendment Obliterated

[Sola_Fide]

If the general sentiment of this forum is to equate homosexuality with the literal destruction of society, I'm gonna jet.

It's part of the destruction of a society. Usually immorality in one area is related to immorality in another area. The immorality of homosexuality is related to the immorality of the debasement of currency. Both are rejections of God.

Granted I haven't read all the posts on this thread, but I hope they aren't convincing you of that. Even those who are all freaked out by this decision, I think (I hope), are doing so because they think this is a federal overreach. Sure, you will always have some... But the majority of people who believe in liberty think that applies to all individuals regardless of ANY characteristic.

From what I've read here, Justin Amash and also the atheists of the board don't care about federal overreach.

I don't agree. Pedophiles, polygamists, and people who engage in beastiality are now being discriminated against. Where are their equal rights?

Justin Amash is wrong. Statism is wrong. It always leads to destruction.

You missed what it is he is saying. Read it again.

YOU are one that wanted government to be involved with marriage. Don't be miffed if the slop from the pig trough washes over you when you muck in the sty.

Statism is wrong.

That was his point. You're only mad that statism is no longer discriminating against gays. You weren't this outraged over marriage licensing until now. Government approved hetero marriages didn't make you say this:

Our country is gone. I mean that seriously.

Our country? Sounds like you are the statist.

The last sentence of his post says exactly what I said. Any place where government asserts it's authority, it may not violate the equal rights of anyone.

Pedophiles, polygamists, and animal lovers are now being discriminated against by the law. How can you not see that?

Not only that, what is "equal rights"? What a bunch of progressive statism that is! Unbelievable....

Justin Amash is wrong. Statism is wrong. It always leads to destruction.

That is an excellent point, too, Sola.

Notice that in Amash's first sentence, he says, "Throughout history, different cultures have defined marriage according to their own customs and practices." Then he condemns government involvement in marriage for the past several years in the following paragraphs. But what he seems to miss is that, given his assertion that marriage can be defined based on a culture's customs and practices, there can nothing wrong with what the SCOTUS did in its ruling because it was based on the customs and practices of today's politically-progressive culture. So, Amash has contradicted himself.

No you're wrong. I've always been consistent against licensure of EVERY kind, including marriage. It blows me away that atheists lose all of their freedom principles on this and other things.

Atheists cannot be libertarians. You all are showing it. Keep fighting for those "equal rights". Unreal...

You understand that sex with something that can't give consent is different than entering into a contract with something that can't enter a contract?

Sorry you can't see it. Sorry that government is not in your corner anymore. Now maybe you will wake the hell up. You won't though. You'll just be butt-hurt and excoriate someone for giving you the flat, straight out, honest truth.

And otherone addressed your other utter non-sense. Now polygamists? Yep, things are gonna change with regard to that under this ruling. Congrats for keeping marriage a state sanctified union instead of fighting to get the state out of it. I'm laughing my ass off at you silly Christians that put your faith in the government.

Can you please tell me who the victim is in a polygamous or homosexual relationship?

My motto is, no victim, no crime

What???????????

Where have I ever said that I want government to be involved in marriage? I never have. I am against ALL licensure.

I am a consistent libertarian. The atheists here are showing that they want their state-given equal rights. What a farce! Unreal...

Are polygamists now being discriminated against by the law? Yes or no?

You don't know what equal rights means but in a post below you say I can't be a libertarian. Equal treatment under the law is offensive to you. You want the law to treat you better than me because you are a christian. You are exactly why I cheer for this supreme court ruling. You want the government to give you favors then cry like a baby when others not like you get the same favors. Statist asshole.

Yes. Justin Amash does not have a Christian or Libertarian worldview.

We weren't DOOOMED until now.

I am the one against ALL licensure of EVERY kind, and you are the one cheering for this new federal tyranny.


And I'm the statist?

Are you drunk?

 

[Sola_Fide]

Hey man. Keep loving those state-given equal rights, and I'll just keep being a consistent libertarian against all licensure.

You cannot be a libertarian and an atheist. This proves it.
