Parliamentarians should have a conscience vote on gay marriage : Comments

By Rodney Croome, published 1/11/2010

For often perverse reasons our parliamentary institutions have failed to keep pace with public opinion on gay marriage.

"PROVEN."
-ALGOREisRICH

Yes, congratulations, you've just sucessfully proven that Christians who break the law sometimes get punished for it. Thanks, but I wasn't actually asking for proof that the judiciary had done their job and upheld the law (note past tense), I was asking for proof that the gay lobby will persecute (note future tense) Christians.

"Proven."

"Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state, usually under the control of a single political person, faction, or class, recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible."
-Wikipedia

I read your article, Proxy, but I couldn't find any references to totalitarianism. I did find descriptions of a bunch of violent idiots, but you get violent idiots at the fringes of every ideology. The existence of gay-bashers doesn't make the anti-gay lobby a totalitarian regime, does it now?

Oh, and a brief caveat: when you start throwing terms like 'totalitarianism' around, you come dangerously close to violating Godwin's law. I advise you to choose your arguments with more care.

To those who have feelings of self insecurity and need a soft target like gay people, to release these feelings, live, love and just be you, and life will be wonderful.

Well said, Kipp. Very succinct and to the point.

People who would impose their distorted ideology on children so that those children would be forever deprived of having, or even knowing, a father and a mother are not soft targets.
People who deliberately generate false research data on the effects of their activities on children simply to further their agenda are not soft targets.
People who deliberately agitate to withhold life and death information on the statistically manifest dangers of their sexual behaviour from young children in classrooms are not soft targets.
People who deliberately lie by knowingly claiming greater numbers than they actually represent in order to further their agenda are not soft targets.
People who viciously target ex-members of their ranks whose very apostasy undermines their claims are not soft targets.
People who use violence and intimidation against those who refuse to capitulate to their agenda are not soft targets.
People who seek to change the law by any means possible to achieve their agenda and then use the law to persecute those who won't capitulate to their agenda are not soft targets.

Goodness, what a lot of ‘people who’. What about ‘people who’ have forsaken reality or have had it taken away from them without them knowing, should try and think above the belt.

All that I have stated I have previously substantiated.
This makes no difference of course to those who relentlessly pursue their agenda irrespective of the facts or the deleterious impact on children.
They can only respond in riddles.
