Bebe 17,289 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Oh, atheists believe in marriage which is a concept originally based on religious teachings? I'm an atheist who certainly wants a part in the legal and secular benefits of marriage including, but not limited to: visitation rights and can make medical decisions, unless otherwise specified in a living willbenefits for federal employees -- many of which are also offered by private employers -- such as sick leave, bereavement leave, days off for the birth of a child, pension and retirement benefits, family health insurance planssome property and inheritance rights, even in the absence of a willthe ability to create life insurance truststax benefits, such as being able to give tax free gifts to a spouse and to file joint tax returnsthe ability to receive Medicare, Social Security, disability and veteran's benefits for a spousediscount or family rates for auto, health and homeowners insuranceimmigration and residency benefits, making it easier to bring a spouse to the U.S. from abroadvisiting rights in jailmore legal rights (For instance, if your spouse is in a fatal accident, you can sue for wrongful death.)cheaper health insurance ect.

boobtank 9,090 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 People need to understand that Marriage is no longer a 'religious' thing. There are is many more strings attatched other than 'supposedly' making a vow to god. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmar 22,766 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I just read through the bill that Luiz posted. It doesn't look bad at all; it appears to be an improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Estie 5,704 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 this argument about marriage being religious makes no sense to me. Maybe it started that way, but it's a fundamental part of american life and government now. It has nothing to do with religion anymore as far as the laws about it go. Beyond that, even if this does pass, there's always a gay-friendly church around to approve marriages. This might actually make it easier for gay marriage to happen. Do they not know that? Am I wrong? lmao Call your therapist...it's Petie Estie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz 4,253 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I just read through the bill that Luiz posted. It doesn't look bad at all; it appears to be an improvement. someone said the process gays and atheists have to go through could lead discrimination by whoever is the court clerk but i didnt read the whole bill so .... I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus 1,494 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 kinda agree tbh Marriage is no longer a spiritual institution. Marriage has become something the government runs and constricts. It gives benefits to married couples. People swear to their god that they will love each other to death and then divorce a year later. Let's not act like marriage is only for the faithful.
