[Vision2020] Huh? Say WHAT!?

[Gary Crabtree]

The argument for homosexual "marriage" seems to have revolved around the statement that you can't help who it is that you love and if two people are in love they should be allowed to marry. Why does this way of thinking NOT apply to three (or more) people? The whole topic has always revolved around feelings and what's "fair," why is it not fair to apply the same reasoning to polygamous unions?

Hmmm.


Fascinating analogy, Joe.


Perhaps, then, if Doug Wilson were against both same-sex and polygamous marriages . . . and to  absolutely prevent their occurrence . . . he should campaign against ALL marriages, because . . .


Virtually any specific argument that supports same-sex marriage AND supports polygamy, could also be applied to support monogamous heterosexual marriages.

  Well, if he argued that polygamy and gay marriage are similar, then that is just another fallacious argument. It is like arguing that we can give every adult the right to vote because that would lead to some folks voting more than once. We would be powerless to avoid that!

    Cultmaster Wilson is hopelessly floundering as he is swept out to sea on the tide of reality and oncoming change.  But that's what happens to those that allege total faith in some "inerrant" ancient texts.  Foolhardiness begets misery for others.


    It's too bad that the Cultmaster is not a Mormon so that he could have a "new" vision from some alleged God correcting his current views.

      "I argued at length that all the arguments employed to advance same sex marriage can be, are being, and will be used to advance polygamy also. In short, gay marriage greases the skids for polygamy."
