There are only two genders, yes. Having sex with children is wrong, yes. And I also refuse to call anyone a pronoun. But you're missing my point. People are using the constitution to ban gay marriage even when the Constitution doesn't mention it. The Bible is not the document upon which...

The entire point I am making is that the Constitution doesn't support gay marriage. But it doesn't prohibit it either.

Constitutionally there's no prohibition against gay marriage or eating shellfish, yet both are biblically discouraged.

I also agree with you, too. Relationship commitments in a constitutional secular state should be left to people to decide for themselves and individuals and couples. Not because I agree with or like gay marriage, but because there is no constitutional precedent for banning people from a...

But that's what I am also saying. Some things that people claim as freedoms are not spelled out as freedoms inside the written constitution. They include gay marriage, but also include eating shellfish, divorce, contraception, alcohol consumption and television. So, what logic is there...

I'm also opposed morally to the illogical ideologies of the rainbow brigade, FYI. A woman is a woman. A human female adult without an SRY gene. But the topic at hand isn't limited to religious ideologies. It encompasses legal, constitutional and cultural ones too. So, to challenge it or...

That's a fair point about John Adams' own intent and interpretations for the constitution, but that quote is not actually inside the written constitution, right?

So why is the government getting involved in marriage at all?

And lastly, does the constitution function as something that expressly delimits the boundaries of everything we can do? What I mean is, if a certain claimed freedom like gay marriage is not a freedom in the constitution, then should it be banned? And if so, then wouldn't every claimed freedom...

Sorry to quote myself but I wanted to add to this that: let's say someone wanted to do something like eat a dog. There's no constitutional mention of eating dogs, and culturally it might be frowned upon (or maybe not, depending on the individual), but is there actually anything constitutional...

I tend to take this one from a few positions. The first is the position of constitutional law. So, constitutionally there's no reason gay marriage ought to be legal throughout the country. The second is in regards to treaties. I'm not sure about the US' status on ratifying the convention on...

Hi everyone, I've actually had this account for a few years that I left idle during COVID (too much social media and online time, I guess) but now I'm here, with the intention to be more active. I did have an account on here about 12 years ago but lost the password and it fell out of use...

I do wonder if it's sensible to spend tax money supporting Israeli weapons programs if they just end up giving them to one of the most anti-democracy, anti-religious, anti-Western states in the entire world. I mean, Israel is the only non-authoritarian country in the entire Middle East, and...

Celebrating a death, even by proxy, is a very low form of intellect.

As the police would say: perhaps she should have worn a mask.

Jesus' closest advisory was a woman and prostitute. Women can do all roles, everywhere, just as well as men.

Of course not. Have you read the news lately?

I would say invite him back in, wash his sore feet, and endeavour to help him. Much more useful than hoping.

To the original question: no. Catholicism is an offshoot of Orthodox Christianity.

are you asking if an innocent child will suffer in hell for just being born?
