gay marriage
the only arguments i've heard against gay marriage are:
1) adam and eve, not adam and steve (bullshit, and religious)
2) not part of god's plan/bible says no (ditto)
3) if we let "gays" marry, then anyone can marry anything! (reductio ad absurdum bullshit, and religious)
governments should never legislate morality, and it is extremely rare for the US gov't to do so, b/c it's dangerous and theorcratic. to that end, no religious argument can ever substantiate or legitimize a law in this country, for to do so inherently marginalizes those not sharing that faith.
Actor #1: "Oh -- you got your religion in my government!"
Actor #2: "Oops -- you've got your government in my religion!"
Announcer: "It's Fundamentalist Peanut Butter Cups!"
