Thank you showing us your logic river. "In this country, it has been established that..."

Therefore we can use your words and your same logic and safely make a conclusion then:

"In this State of California, it has been established that persons of the same sex are not to be married but rather use the term same-sex union."

Game over - checkmate. Prop 8 won. The results have been counted - now respect the will of the people.

Thank you river....In this country, it has been established that...

river....remember I asked that we stay focused on wisdom and discernment.

Of course the Creator met Paul silly, He created him and his words.

Also river, let's honor the non-religious argument for a moment as typo wanted "This has nothing to do with the Church. We are discussing the civil term "marriage.""

Since we are not a religious state, let’s steer clear of this argument for a while if we can.

Ok typo, thank you, we’ll stay focused on the civil term "marriage."

River and typo, why would you discriminate on AGE and use consent as the foundation of your argument for marriage? Isn’t this bigotry? I know that you are NOT bigots.

In the great country of Ethiopia and some areas of West Africa, some girls get married as early as age 7. Who are you to judge them and decide what is right for them if they move to America?

If we change it as river wants to “I'm claiming matrimony as the new Word” and also as river wants to not discriminate against “height, weight &/or age.” then this is exactly what Ashaw was warning us about when you criticized him.

Also, why would you discriminate against pedophiles? One can argue that they do not have a choice and that there exists consent.

Why not consent as adults to kill each other – like the wild west! Is that ok? Remember, don’t be a bigot or discriminate. Where do you base your “morality”?

As you know, all derivatives will rise up, just like homosexuals to be included in “marriage”. And it will start with some “progressive” judges in San Francisco legislating from the bench. Going against the will of the people!

As our friend Ashaw stated “An incremental slow process is the degradation of morality ...step by step...”

Our fallen nature of human depravity makes us behave as if we are spineless jellyfish with no morality nor discipline. Please get into worship of your higher power – your creator or whomever you wish and prayerfully ask for direction on this matter.

If you care not to worship or pray on this then get out your history book and read again what happened in Rome and other civilizations. Again as Ashaw stated “Same as happened in Rome.”

I ask that we stay focused on wisdom and discernment.
Peace to you.

For the love of differences without discrimination, please preserve marriage for heterosexuals.

And preserve same-sex unions for homosexuals.

Make them equal, legally but not use the same WORD.
Do not mess up the Church with the State. Yes truestories they are separate.

I think you're getting it truestories.

Homo and Hetero
Boy and Girl
Black and White
Same-sex Union and Marriage
Church and state

Separate but equal. No discrimination.

And truestories, I love you too.

We have words to communicate differences.

Homo and Hetero
Boy and Girl
Black and White
Same-sex Union and Marriage.
Alcoholic and non.
Handicap and non.
ADD and non...

It's the differences that make the world so interesting and beautiful.

If only we could recognize them and cherish them for their differences, and not try to hide them with less words.

Some words describe sinful choices and some God given differences - but does it matter how we classify the difference?

Separate can be equal.

We have separate boys and girls bathrooms and we are now treating girls much more equally then ever in our history of the world, many times completely equally. But we will never call girls, boys, as kindergartners do.

Unless we regress to the kindergarten foolishness of the No on Prop 8'ers.

Ps. I do love you thowser. I will call you thowser and non other, for the awesome creation that you are.

Myths and Facts about Proposition 8
MYTH: Proposition 8 enshrines discrimination in our Constitution.
FACT: Proposition 8 does not discriminate against gays; it simply restores the meaning of marriage and protects it as an essential institution that has benefited mankind since the beginning of time. Every culture in the world understands that marriage is between a man and a woman. Californians from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds, whether religious or not, agree that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Proposition 8 does not take away any rights from gay and lesbian domestic partners. Gays and lesbians in California can already enjoy all the legal rights and benefits of marriage. The California Family Code says, “domestic partners shall have all the rights, protections and benefits” of married spouses. There are NO exceptions to this. Proposition 8 will not change that.
MYTH: Allowing gay couples to legally marry does not affect anyone else.
FACT: The narrow decision of the State Supreme Court effectively renders all civil marriage meaningless and will result in tremendous confusion for children. The state Education Code (§51890) requires that teachers instruct children as young as kindergartners about marriage. If the gay marriage ruling becomes permanent, teachers will have little choice but to teach young children there is no difference between gay marriage and traditional marriage.
We should not accept a court decision that results in public school teachers teaching our kids that gay marriage is acceptable. That is an issue for parents to discuss with their children according to their own values and beliefs. It should not be forced on us against our will.
MYTH: This proposition is the work of right wing radicals and extremists to attack the rights of gays.
FACT: Proposition 8 is supported by a broad range of organizations and individuals, including faith leaders representing virtually every faith in California – and those who subscribe to no faith at all. People from every walk of life believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. Over 1.1 million Californians signed the petitions to put Proposition 8 on the ballot.

I love you and care you all.
