As a Christian, it is much more difficult to openly practice my faith due to attacks like this. Attacks that miss the point in my mind. The fact that 90% of responses that are in this thread are anti-Christian is a telling point. The fact is that I am NOT an evangelical. Yet it still affects me.
#3. I answered that too. I don't trust that it will be left at that, even if I agreed that the definition could be changed.
#4. Actual losses? Aside from the ones I've pointed out in question #2? And question #3? Well, I'm still married if that's what you are asking. To a good woman who actually DOES believe in gay marriage, I might add. BTW, it's the same question as #2.
The only question I didn't answer before was "how does this affect you personally". Honestly, I didn't what point that was supposed to make, other than to bait me. Starving children in Africa don't affect me, so I shouldn't get involved there, right? How does this affect YOU personally, that you are willing to get involved? It's just not relevant.

#1 -
My post. Where is your answer?
This?! "Because it isn't marriage, it's something else." That is your explanation? "Even if I caved, and started calling it marriage, that wouldn't actually mean it is marriage. It is something else."
I'm sorry, but, no, I don't like it. Because it's not a rational answer. You're just repeating what it isn't, and saying it's something else. False logic, perhaps?
#2 - It's actually more difficult for you to practice your Christian faith openly now that gay marriage is legalized? Are you serious? Are you accosted by fanatical gays or something? I'm honestly curious.
#3 - This doesn't answer the question at all. We already know you don't want the definition changed, that you think this is too important a thing to change, but
why? There must be a
why other than because it may change more, otherwise, you wouldn't care about it changing more.
I'm not sure why you believe asking you to explain yourself is an attempt at baiting you.

But wait, now you want to change what it means to be married? I'm married. That does affect me. It's false to state it doesn't affect me.
