10 Reasons You Are Wrong
1. It Is Marriage
Marriage means different things to different cultures. Culture defines marriage. Thus, homosexual marriage can be considered a form of marriage.
2. Natural Law Is Fiction
There is no such thing as natural law, just as there is no such thing as morality. These things are fictions that you tell yourself in your head to convince yourself that the universe isn't a scary place. The universe is made up of physical objects doing physical things. One of these things that are done is homosexuality.
3. Mother And Father
Irrelevant. What a child needs is good parents who know how to raise children. Someone's genitals is not relevant. There are plenty of men who are not fit to parent, just as there are many women who are not fit to parent.
4. The Homosexual "Lifestyle"
I hardly even need to comment on your fourth point, seeing as how it is a bunch more nonsense dealing with morality. I've already covered the fact that morality is a personal fiction which is different for every person. Therefore, it is not a basis to build a society upon.
5. Moral Wrong
Again, your fifth point is nothing more than more morality nonsense that I debunked back in point 2
I would think that someone at WMM would be smart enough to know that "morality" is little more than people judging each other over petty crap. I suppose I've expected too much of the WMM community. But, thanks for making my rebuttal easy for me by constantly using the same non-argument over and over again. It really saves a lot of time when your "10 Reasons" are really more like three reasons stated in four different ways...
6. The Family Argument
Children are not necessary for someone to get married, neither is it required by law for married people to have children. Thus, your sixth argument is completely irrelevant.
7. Argument From The State
This argument is easily refuted because there are many potential reasons that the state may want marriage, including homosexual marriage. Your argument here is refuted by the simple fact that someone could easily issue a counter-argument listing potential benefits of homosexual marriage to the state.
8. It Imposes Its Acceptance on All Society
This is your first argument that actually makes a real point. In my opinion, the government shouldn't be involved in any private relationship between two people, including heterosexual couples.
9. Sexual Revolution And The Slippery Slope
Again with the morality argument. This is not a real argument. I've already covered this.
10. It Offends God
Which God? Because, it certainly doesn't offend my god.
