But for the benefit of others I would like to offer another reason why marriage IS NOT considered to be a thing between man and woman. Over here in the netherlands we have had legal same-sex marriage since the mid 90's and surprise, surprise, apart from a minority of fundies (Yes we have them too) who are still hung up on it, the majority of people has accepted this. In fact so much so, that talking about marriage could either point to a same sex OR a heterosexual couple. This seems to me to be a real world example of how wrong Charlie is when he says, that marriage automatically means the union between a man and a woman.... Not that I have the illusion that Charlie will be convinced by this, but it seemed like some pertinet information nonethelessFritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283591813641507318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-74506749598832570422011-06-09T01:03:33.306-05:002011-06-09T01:03:33.306-05:00I can't believe I read through this whole thre...I can't believe I read through this whole thread.

Charlie, simply did not have enough personality to make it interesting for us, and so I was glad that you guys terminated his call.<br /> I must admit that it got a bit awkward, last week, when a caller seemed to be paying Tracie compliments at your exclusion, Martin, and, while I, myself, am guilty of being partial to Tracie, I would like to state, for the record, that I especially like you, Marten, because you appear to be the resident smart ass/instigator of the AE/ACA.

Maybe he thinks if it's him he will win the nobel peace prize of atheism.<br /><br />His means to convey his message are the same means that Bill O'rielly uses to bully his guests. If he screams louder or says something more obnoxious, he wins. It's sad to see the TV show and this forum put up with this kind of attitude. It's beyond troll, in the loser category. But free speech is free speech.<br /><br />Martin really nailed it in the original post. Special pleading that the definition of marriage shouldn't change because of tradition is 100% crapola. <br /><br />I'm always surprised when I hear an ethnic person against gay rights. Did black americans not win the same fight in 1964? <br /><br />Take a black guy and a white guy. If you allow the white guy to use the clean bathroom down the hall and tell the black guy to go outside, that's segregation and it's not only illegal, but immoral by all honest, benevolent humans.<br /><br />Take a straight couple and a gay couple. If you allow the straight couple to wed and receive all legal benefits and it's not difficult and make the gay couple move out of state in order to receive the same benefits, that is also segregation.<br /><br />Charlie, I don't respect your position or the way you have acted in all your yelling and sarcasm. If you do not believe that sexual orientation is not on the same level as gender and race in terms of the constitution, think again. Considering 1964 civil rights, your hypocrasy is sickening. That's like a christian saying science is full of shit even though they've been successfully vaccinated.<br /><br />Martin/Russel: I am curious what the call note said Mark from Stone Church was calling about? I have a hypothesis that he keeps calling in order to stall out the show so that the children listening hear less good deconversion content(that is if he isn't a po).TroopDawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03472898670398412674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-62667754175750210102011-06-08T17:29:38.784-05:002011-06-08T17:29:38.784-05:00The reason why Gay people should have full, equal ...The reason why Gay people should have full, equal rights to marriage, and tolerance in civil society, simply boils down to civil rights. If you come up with a separate word for the exact same union that is forged between heterosexual couples, it's not that different from the "separate but equal" mentality of segregation in race relations issues. To suggest that you can't have "marriage" because that's our word, but you can have this other word for a union that is represents the exact same type of union (except exclusively for same-sex unions) is the semantic ideological equivalent of saying black people must have their own equal, but separate restaurants, movie theaters, and water fountains.j. alfred prufrockedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523348407937922801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-13372876842676114772011-06-08T16:01:18.401-05:002011-06-08T16:01:18.401-05:00"Studies show" that this thread has run ..."Studies show" that this thread has run its course.The Fuck-Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14424379897087177800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-572254902469373062011-06-08T14:27:21.483-05:002011-06-08T14:27:21.483-05:00I don't see what we are arguing about at this ...I don't see what we are arguing about at this point. Chuckles hates gay people. We aren't going to convince him otherwise. <br /><br />I realized how pointless it was from the beginning of the latest call where he said a comment, the hosts repeated it near verbatim, and he claimed "I never said that". Well, yes you did. We just heard it come out of your mouth. Then there was the part where he said he'd be fine with using "shmarriage" and even support it. But 30 seconds later proved this was absolutely not the case. It's impossible to have a reasoned argument with someone who won't even take responsibility for their own words. Chuck has proven that he is incapable of defending, or even admitting to, his own thought process. (I would say that's something christians do all the time, but the joke might be lost)rrpostalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336728549010108830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-68797414642170424912011-06-08T13:29:54.531-05:002011-06-08T13:29:54.531-05:00I'm surprised it took this long for Charlie to...I'm surprised it took this long for Charlie to show up on the Atheist Experience.
