[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 19:33 and also posted immediately before you and you couldn't be more wrong.  At least in my case and line of reasoning.  Sorry, but you are incorrect in presuming what's going on in my head on this one.[/quote]

That's what we're trying to get you to tell us. What IS going on in your head? I understand you feel allowing gays to marry is a sea change in the definition of marriage. But as this thread has pretty convincingly demonstrated, the definition of marriage has changed dramatically over time and the current approach is relatively new.

[b]You worry that there will be some unforseeable consequence of legalizing gay marriage. Why? What is the worst that could happen[/b]?[/quote]

The worst that could happen is that marriage becomes viewed simply as a union of companionship.  If viewed this way, why would it be necessary to make a lifelong commitment; why not just promise to work for the best, but if things go stale, oh well?
If marriage becomes viewed this way, it loses it's meaning therefore eventually becoming obsolete.  Yes, this has been going on for a while now, but legalizing same sex marriage, seems as if it's putting a final nail in the coffin.[/quote]
