"I'm sorry you feel that way. Anyhow, I don't think anyone did. I know I didn't."
It is a waste of time because the right answer is already obvious.
Marriage is a state issue. That's why you need a license and a witness other than the FSM.
"1) The one that invented the concept of sex and implemented it in humans."
I dispute the assumption that some god did that.
"2) No can do! Only
you can prove this God to you. Nor is it easy. You have to look for him."

Well, how can anyone push what their god wants unto me, when I don't believe their god exists? This is democracy? Also, what makes people so sure they know what their god wants? Did god appear to them in the cake icing and tell them? (If so, see above.) For a long time, infallible Popes said there is a Limbo. Now another infallible Pope says there is no Limbo. Who is right? That's why religions are such a load of bovine excrement. How can they all claim to be the only right one? Obviously only one is right or none of them are right. So instead of wasting time with pointless "interfaith dialogues" that never go anywhere, let's start voting some religions off the island.
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen Roberts
"3)
"
I have here an ancient holy text from MY god, the ONLY true god, the one that kicks your god's ***, and in it it is written "let them mind their own damn business and stop dictating to consenting adults what they may do, for yea, I shall smite them with a discrimination lawsuit and to pay the legal fees I shall garnish their wages, and their children's wages, and their children's children's wages unto the tenth generation."
"However, the issue I'm taking up has nothing to do with politics. Pointed this out above already."
If the issue is *** marriage (Won't someone PLEASE change the word filter and just ban people who use it as an insult??? That's flaming, anyway.), then it has everything to do with politics, in the same way that religion has everything to do with politics. It's a smokescreen, not a real issue. Things like euthanasia, abortion and *** marriage have only one right answer, and that answer is yes. There is no debate. How can Westerners be such hypocrites as to profess an undying devotion to freedom yet constantly seek ways to limit it, and on such flimsy premises? You like freedom? Then the answer to all three is yes. Leave people alone and mind your own business. You don't like something? Don't do it. But who the hell do you think you are to tell others how to run their affairs?
(Not the you you, the general you.)
