Proposition 8 is about protecting rights


Thursday, October 16, 2008 6:12 AM PDT

Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are Constitutional rights that Proposition 8 preserves.

Without Prop. 8, those who seek to reconfigure the traditional definition of marriage will have free reign to limit the rights of anyone who speaks or conducts business with the view that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Without the protection of a traditional definition, anyone with opposing views could legally be prosecuted under anti-discrimination laws. Any teacher or parent who does not want to expose children to an expanded definition will not have the right to uphold that position. Clergy not wishing to perform rites for non-traditional couples would also be in legal jeopardy. Religious freedoms and freedom of speech would not be preserved — as is the case in states with an open definition. The effects are far-reaching, including school curriculum for children as young as kindergarten.

All the rights afforded married couples are protected under current laws for couples of any persuasion. The legal definition outlined in Prop. 8 protects the rights of those who view marriage between a man and a woman as a fundamental institution of society — for whatever reason, religious or otherwise.

Putting the law on the books in Prop. 8 preserves the basic rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. This concern is broader than simply the issue of marriage, it's a matter of preserving priceless freedoms.

My "yes" vote on Prop. 8 is a vote to protect my rights — and yours.

" steve: One can have their own personal religious beliefs and still believe in separation of church and state.

There are many Americans that have personal Christian beliefs of their own, but will VOTE NO ON PROP 8.

No one religion should DICTATE whom should receive equal rights in this country. Who will be the next American to be discriminated against? And then what will WE THE PEOPLE be allowed to dictate when it comes to what all churches are allowed to preach? The constitution was not created to be discriminatory. Do not add discrimination to the constitution.

NO AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.

KEEP SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

" real facts first of all, i took statements from the bible in order to show that any one can use the bible as a resource. It just depends on how people twist these words that make the argument. And you call yourself a truth seeker?! Show me please your philosophical thinking behind your ideas, considering that a majority of western pholosiphers as well as eastern philosiphers would tell one that in order to seek the truth you must first see past ones bias. This means looking past ones belifes, because, if you really knew your facts, you would know that the authority christians try to force on others is brought from belifes that are analytical, meaning there IS NO HARD EVIDENCE behind them. So by you usuing the bible as a source as well as your "eye witness" examples would still be irrelivent in a question for the truth.

The truth is not the truth according to God in a situation in Governing the people. You speak of the truth as your main source yet can you prove God exists? would your arguments stand in a court of law? or is this just the truth according to you. "

boring. your latest attempt at discrediting me is, well, boring.

first of all, i NEVER said i was "more Christian", or whatever lie your selling now in your latest merry-go-round.

all i ever have done is picked the truths of God over anything and everybody.

made myself quite "unpopular" in here by doing so. in screaming contrast, EVERY chance you have had lodian to pick God you picked AGENDA/PEOPLE, and that AFTER claiming you were a Christian.

so the accurate statement biblically would be "beware of wolves in sheeps clothing, who inside are ravening wolves, willing to devour the sheep"
(that would be YOU).

"WWJD"? Jesus would pick the truths of God over EVERTHING.

you don't give immoral behavior a free pass under ANY circumstances, whether or not the govt or any other agency dictates it.

interesting comment coming from someone whose first post was one using Christian scriptures AGAINST me.

a true follower of God NEVER uses the term "which one" when referring to God, as Christians know EXACTLY who God is, and true followers NEVER give place to "another".

pretty funny you are an "expert" at what the bible says, yet you don't even KNOW who God is, and have yet to assign HIM his proper designation.

whats telling about you, is your statement ....."As you can see...you're not the only person that can "quote" a bible verse".

what IS telling of that is your false tone of arrogance as if you "had me", via your "personal knowledge" of scripture, when all you did was copy and paste it from some site that employs "silencing" tactics against Christians.

Christians with the attitude that no one will redefine truth, by actually being willing to tell the truth without worrying about reprisals, are almost extinct.

you want evidence of that? no problem.

look at this blog. how many Christians do you see contending for the truths of God, and how many "others" by comparison.

with the stakes so high, aand what Christ has PERSONALLY done for them, you would think there would be "some" opposition to the onslaught ON the truth.

mostly, Christians are either lulled to sleep thinking they can't stand up to these people because OF the false accusations of being "unloving" and "intolerant", but Christ was NEVER tolerant of evil, and ALWAYS dealt with it when he was confronted with it, including calling it waht it was.

"mixing fibers" is indicative of the various ceremonial laws designed to show man the idea that they can NEVER become righteous of their OWN accord via the "keeping" of ceremonial laws.

We can prove that Santa is imaginary in a variety of ways, but here is one way: we note that he brings mountains of toys to rich kids while leaving other kids to starve to death. In the same way, we can prove that God is imaginary by noting the imbalance of his blessings. If God existed and handed out blessings as described in the Doxology, then the blessings would be spread uniformly among his believers. And non-believers would get none. As a result, the hand of God, through his blessings, would be plainly visible for all to see through statistical analysis.

Let us suppose that God is real and that all blessings actually do flow from him. If that is the case, then the utter unfairness with which he disperses his blessings is proof positive that God is ridiculous. If all blessings flow from God, then the fact that Bill Gates is worth $70 billion while 10 million children will starve to death this year is specifically God's fault. That is ridiculous. "

of course "we" have predjudices and so do you. unfortunately, you upchuck world history facts in favor of a momentary justification in an attempt at making your position just.

"what God may think". if there is a God, what HE thinks matters above anyone, or anything else.

you still are accountable to HIM, even though you don't want to be.

do you really think if there is a God, and HE has standards, that you can do whatever you want that is in direct opposition to those standards, then when you die YOU can fully expect no retribution for doing so, and in fact God will accept you?

" The Wirthlins courageously decided to fight the system, and filed a lawsuit in federal court in Boston.
Unfortunately, both the district court and the Court of Appeals ruled against them, stating that parents had no right to be notified of this instruction or to remove their children from class while gay marriage was being taught. Just a few days ago the United States Supreme Court refused to hear their case.

The impact of gay marriage on California public schools has emerged as the top issue in the Proposition 8 campaign. Opponents of 8 claim that Prop. 8 has nothing to do with schools but as the Wirthlins experience in Massachusetts shows, it has everything to do with schools.

Ironically, the frantic efforts by the No on 8 campaign to deny any connection between gay marriage and public schools was totally undercut when a public school in San Francisco escorted a first grade class on a field trip to City Hall in order to witness a lesbian wedding officiated by Mayor Gavin Newsom. School officials defended their decision as providing the young children with a teachable moment.

" "Love your neighbor"

It is interesting, Lapdog, how you leave off the important parts of this quote. The first is it's precedant commandment "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND". This means before anything else you love and obey Him, not social whims. Second is "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF". See those last two words, "as yourself". This means you do what is good for you, sin is not good for you (and I'm sorry, if you are a Christian then you must follow the teachings of the Bible and the Bible never says Homosexuality is okay, but it does condemn the action). So if sin is not good for you then you must fight to rid yourself of it. IF you love you neighbor as yourself like you claim then you must be willing to help them over come sin as stated in the Bible as well. "

My point in asking the question was to show that you will not lose any rights if prop 8 does not pass. If you are bent on denying other Americans their rights then you should think about what right you would like taken from you. "

" "the defeat of Prop 8 result in a proliferation of lawsuits"

Your joking right? In a society where we sue over the coffee being to hot, becuase there were no warnings not to press against third story windows, becuase the Bible clearly says Homosexuality is wrong, because some guy won't take pictures at the commitment ceremony? Do you really think activists and profiteers won't take advantage of the REdefinition of marriage to push their agenda?

You keep citing Chruches, they may not be in immediate danger (but a lawsuit away will probably put them there). But businesses and organizations that support those church weddings and marriages will be in danger if the state REdefines marriage. "

Thank you for proving my point Lapdog. IF the state defines marriage as one man and one woman then wedding and Marriage support organizations that serve one man one woman can not be sued because they are following the state definition of "Marriage". But IF the state REdefines marriage as whoever to whoever then these groups now become open to lawsuits if they stay true to their religious beliefs. "

I am Lodian? You don't believe that businesses that stay true to their convictions not only could be sued, but should be sued. If a Christian supply store refuses to carry same sex cake toppers, even refuses to order them, do you think they should be sued or otherwise legally forced to carry said item. How about the (hypothetical) St. martha retreat house who hosts weddings and receptions, should they be sued for being true to their religious mission statement? How about after the fact. The (hypothetical) Marriages Through God organizations whose mission it is to teach husband and wife how to have a better marriage, should they be lawsuited to disolvement because they believe marriage is one man one woman?

Whose rights are YOU willing to sacrafice to give gays the right to marry? "

The gay culture is rampant their. The decandence that surrounds the gay culture is so counter to good traditional family values. Anyone who says gay culture doesn't harm good traditional family values needs to have their head examined. "

" Rhodie, more lies and inaccuracies. California already prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation (laws on the books for nearly 10 years now). Thus, the passage of Prop 8 will not prevent any discrimination lawsuits nor will the defeat of Prop 8 result in a proliferation of lawsuits. Parties who feel discriminated against already have the right to sue irrespective of Prop 8. Even now, churches and other organizations can impose restrictions on who they will marry - Catholic churches will not allow divorcees to marry in the church, most churches require consultation prior to agreeing to marry a couple, etc.
Finally, there is nothing more "healthy" about straight marriage than gay marriage. It is highly unlikely that a bunch of gay people will be banging on the local baptist church demanding the pastor perform a marriage ceremony, this has not happened since the Supreme Court decision! "

" I said it when I first showed up on the boards here. My concern is not about the legal right of same-sex marriages. It is about the rights of those who believe it to be wrong. IF 8 passes how many businesses will be open for lawsuit because it goes against their religious beliefs? Any business that deals with weddings will have to either cater to same sex marriages or face lawsuits. Any organization that promotes healthy marriages will be sued into either closing their doors or accept marriages against their religion.

And the really scary part is there are some even on this board like Robb and Billy who are just licking their chomps at the thought of destroying religious business after business. The likes of Bob and Lodian want nothing more than to see all those who don't conform to the change in social morality be bankrupted, put out of business or otherwise attacked for being true to their convictions. In the end, if these anti-spiritual activists get their way then outward displays of theology will be deemed socially offensive and believers will face the choice of bend or rebel. "

" Sam, the man will belch more and the woman nag at him for it. Relax, just joking there.

Like everything else there is paperwork for getting married. On it there is a Bride and Groom line. Since bride is by definition a woman and groom a man then identifying oneself as a bride when in reality they are groom is fraud. I'm not suggesting there be marriage police but if something sends up a red flag like an audit with two males when one is id'ed as a bride on the marriage certificate then it is fraud and subject to what ever the legal system doles out.

Nothing they do in their lives or the legal arrangement they have for their relationship affects me or my family. The same "reasons" to deny gay marraige are the same reasons used to deny interracial marraiges only 50 years ago. People need to come out of the stone ages. And by the way, California does allow first cousins to marry!

There is nothing "sacred" about marraige other than what we personally impose upon that institution. I respect the rights of the Religious to impose a certain moral character on their marraige and I expect them to respect my right to impose my own morality on my marraige. "

" Notstuckinlodi "How does samesex marriage change YOUR Marriage or affect YOUR values???"

Do you think married people having affairs is wrong? It is a simple yes no question.

Does your neighbor having an affair hurt your marriage or your values? Simply no.

How about Clinton having an affair with an intern? Did that affect your values in anyway?

If you think it was okay for Clinton to have an affair, why?

The reason I pick this issue to compare to homosexuality is that the defense for Homosexuality I hear on the boards is that it is a genetic thing. Well, recent studies found that men who have afair share genetic marker as well. So if it works for the homosexual community then it should work for the man having a affair. Following that logic that genetics makes it all okay, then extramarital affair should no longer be grounds for seperation. "

This would include Polygamy, sister and brother, cousins and cousin and other such arrangements. What about mail order marriages from over seas, how about arranged marriages for $$ so someone can get citizenship? Why do Homosexuals get the right to marry when none of these other do?

Any other heterophobs, feel free to add your two cents on this question. "

To me, this is a petty agenda that's being used as a "foot in the door" to start hacking away at our state constitution.

Bush and his buddies have already basically gutted the Constitution of the United States; if individual states start tinkering with their constitutions, we might as well not have a constitution at all. "

This incessant attack against people of faith in this matter has run its course. There are many Californians who will vote for Proposition 8 not based upon their religious convictions - but because they believe that marriage between anyone other than one man and one woman to be wrong. It is as simple as that.

No one is trying to force anyone's religious beliefs on anyone else. You speak of "fear." For those of you who do not believe in God (or anything else of a spiritual nature), just why are you so concerned about those who do? We all are entitled to our opinions as well as the right to vote for or against anything or anyone on any ballot. Do you really believe your odious comments will change anyone's opinion and vote the way that you would like? Folks like you certainly are afraid - the question is - why? "

Why is ok for you to impose your thoughts and your beliefs on other people because your scared because they chose a different lifestyle than you. Its not OK. They just want the same rights that all take for granted..I think that your time opposing this prop would be better spent worrying about things that REALLY matter. Like feeding the hungry children in our country. or finding good loving homes for all of our children that are in foster care or even counseling the almost 50% of mnarriages that fail every year.. and just for the record i am a Woman married to a Man with 3 beautiful children...
