[Vision2020] Re: Gay marriage...... an oxymoron......

[J Ford]

Using this, uh, logic...we's in trouble dude.  Over 50% of hetrosexual 
marriages end in divorce, 10-15% of them with violence as part of the daily 
life, towards the wife AND children.  Of the men that leave the marriage, 
over 60% of them don't provide support willingly, if at all, much less visit 
their children and/or participate in their upbringing.  Of course, that is 
taking it for granted that what you mean by "facilitat(ing) the raising of 
offspring" is NOT simply the act of creating them.

Marriage is the union of two people who make certain promises to each other 
as well as to God/the community.  Life happens and things don't always work 
out as planned.  Just ask Greg Dickison.
