Have you ever done experimental research and tried to publish something?
I have... it is hard. When you say such and such experiment is crap, it is clearly out of a complete and thorough ignorance. If you are really passionate that an experiment is incorrect then you need to design another experiment to disprove it.
I trust experimental scientist because I believe that science and experiment are our only ways of really knowing something, and that is not to say I am not critical. The point is reading blogs and watching videos is fine but if you want to talk about something with any vague expertise then you need to get off your ass and go to a library and do a literature search. Libraries are free at least the last time I checked and most of them have access to scientific journals.
"the lesbian couple suing the church" news story I could not find in any legitimate newspaper(even fox). I found a story on a Christian anti-gay rights website about "Harriet Bernstein and Luisa Paster" but even a google search reveals nothing.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
There is no contradiction in saying that this country stands for "liberty and justice for all", while not giving equal civil liberties to all it's citizens?
And you did miss the point in your original retort that I was pointing out that you too are a product of your environment.
You completely missed the point... If you had said "I don't think the state should grant marriages, because it is a religious term. The state should only grant civil unions." I would agree with you.
Doing away with subtlety: The point is you have your beliefs at least in part (and my suspicion would be a large part) because of your religious up bringing or your integration into a religious/social group. What astonished me was that you berate a 10 year old for pointing out a logical fallacy, for reasons that you yourself are guilty of. You should applaud him learning how to think critical at his age, rather than rebuke him for blindly adopting his parents beliefs. More to the point, he took those beliefs and logically applied them.
If that is not worth an upvote, then I better watch only cat videos.
"A 10 year old has 'a lot of friends' who are gay when his age group doesn't even hit puberty for 2-3 years? I'm sorry but isn't this a valid question"
He is 10. A little exaggeration.
"Theres nothing admirable about protecting the rights of groups you agree with, or groups you belong to."
There is nothing admirable about Martin Luther King?
"He'll sit down for gays but I'm sure theres lots of other groups he could care less about, atheists maybe?"
