Dear lord you act surprised when being called a bigot and then spout this utter bull

That's a mouthful of fallacies. Let's examine them. "spout this utter bull." That's begging the question because the notion that it is utter bull has not yet been logically established, indeed that's the very point in question. "You assume the intention gay people as if you understand them in the slightest." Well, you're also kind of assuming the intention of conservatives by smearing them as bigots motivated by prejudice, when, in fact, they are realists motivated by a desire for the truth to be known and virtue to be encouraged. So appealing to…  Read more my alleged ( but totally non-existent ) ignorance isn't all too persuasive following your fallacy-loaded opening. Then you lapsed into another Question Begging Fallacy, saying all the want is to live happily, when, in fact, that's one of the points in question, and I have established very well that their stated intent is to come after my children, and the children of countless other conservative parents throughout this country. "Your bigotry is revolting" What kind of an argument do you think you're making there? It's certainly not logical. In fact, it's called an Ad Hominem, or "To the man" fallacy, attacking my personal character because you've discovered attacking my argument head-on isn't going to cut it. And that's fine and good that you've realised that, but just admit defeat and leave this debate if you can't come up with anything instead of spewing logical fallacies as if they're proving anything. It's deceptive to other users who may be persuaded by faulty logic. Why are you asking me to find a "non-religious" reason homosexuals shouldn't be granted tax benefits and celebrated on par with genuinely married men and women? That's like me asking you to find a "non-liberal" reason homosexuals SHOULD be granted tax benefits and celebrated, etc. IN an argument over worldviews, it's stupid to ask one person to toss his worldview into the dumpster to debate in a way that's comfortable for you, rather than contributing to an argument it destroys its point and very essence. Oh, and I never recall making any "pedophilla would be okay by that logic" and even if I did, then can you logically established that is an "excuse" instead of a valid point, rather than fallaciously assuming as much? I don't know how age limits on this abominable sin would remain a solid case for its legalisation anymore so than age limits on smoking is a solid case to smoke, or age limits on drinking is a solid case to get drunk, but if you'd care to explain, (without fallacies) please do.
