[=Winter wind;495251]No, this definition isn't enough. Because watch what I can do.
Pretend we are in the early 1600s. And Galileo just published his paper on the earth revolving around the sun.
This is the church's argument:
The sun whether you can face it or not, is still recognized world wide as revolving around the earth, like it has been for all time, what ever the reasons for it happening.
The only people who disagree with this are seen rightfully as freaks.
It's not enough to say that everyone else agrees with you.

Except for the simple reason your analogy falls flat on its face, as the Church was indeed wrong about the sun, but the point I made about men and women being traditionally viewed as the ideal partnership for marriage was commonplace amongst all the worlds society's, this was not an institution set up primarily by the Church in the 1600's as you seem to be saying, this has just been the natural partnership accepted by society's everywhere for thousands of years, and not to even think of questioning it.
Also I didn't say everyone agrees with me, but a lot of people do, and hopefully more will wake up soon so we can get rid of the pc fascists who tell everyone what they can say and think now.

No, I agree Matt W stepped over the line there, but he brings up a point that has to be addressed. Are you judging homosexual not for logical reasons but because they are different then what is usual?

I'm disagreeing with ridiculous pc that pushes ideas as acceptable just because they haven't been tried or accepted before, maybe theres a good logical reason as to why not.
And despite Matt's insinuations I am none of what he said, I don't hate gays or anyone different, what I hate is simply political correctness.
Funnily enough Matt and his type are not that far different from people in the 16th C who would scream heretic! etc at people who didn't go with the Church, except his is the Church of the New World Order, and instead of Heretic, he screams racist! or sexist! or any other 'ist made available for newspeak.
