Re: What about gay marriage
that law would be legal but not valid. Simply because it violates natural law.
So laws against nudity are also illegal? Its not like clothes are natural.

Thanks, blues.

I think that a male penis entering a female vagina and producing babies is not a scientific theory but a fact. Or, did I miss your point?

Hi Dr J,

No, they are perfectly legal. Protects the nudist from bugs. Too, its safety issue, I guess. Imagine what traffic would be if you allow nudists to roam free on a busy street?

No, they are perfectly legal.
But clothing is not natural, we're not born with clothes. Why aren't laws restricting nudity contrary to "natural law"?

Re: What about gay marriage
Ok so everybody knows there is a difference in how hetero's and homo's have sex. Is reproduction the sole reason for marriage though? If there are other reason's for marriage why is the difference in sex even a point?

Civil Marriage is About Property
The laws of nature said you should have been eaten by a zebra or died of rickets when you were ten. But as Americans, we have no obligation to comply with anyones ideas of the laws of nature.
Civil marriage laws are about property, not reproduction. Should men and women be subject to fertility testing prior to marriage? They're not, you know? Why is that do you think? By the bye, gay folks have property.

Re: What about gay marriage
Clothing is natural.
Show me one animal born wearing clothes.
We seek protection from bugs, from the elements
We also seek companionship, and same-sex relationships provide this for some people.
On the other hand, poking a stick with a stick is not natural.
But we see it in nature, unlike clothes.

Hi Ru,

No but it is (or should be) the main reason for marriage, I think. But even if some would not agree that procreation is not the main reason for marriage, Just take a look at the physiological make up of the sex organs. Penis is to vagina by nature. Penis to penis / vagina to vagina is just not natural.

Hello L,

I don't get the joke about me or you eaten by zebra when we were ten. I'm sorry, I'm not american. But, americans are also subject to natural laws, eh? The point is: human laws are invalid if they go against natural law.
quote:
Civil marriage laws are about property, not reproduction.
I respectfully disagree. I think there were cases of marriage annullments (divorce) that were granted because the female vagina is too small or that it caused discomforts to the couples.
If you are concerned about property rights of gays, then amending marriage laws is not the answer. Try, strengthening partnership laws, for example.

Why does natural = should? Isn't this just the naturalistic fallacy?
Should infertile heterosexual people be allowed to marry if procreation is the main reason for marriage?

Hello S,

Needs clarification. Men enter into marriage for the main reason--and there are other reasons--of reproducing.It is their natural urge to reproduce--that's why they have the so called "father / mother instinct". The need to have, care, and love children that came from their own bodies.

So what? You are till assuming that natural = good?
Is rape natural? Is rape good? Is everything natural good? Is everything 'unnatural' bad?
Please note I am not saying that homosexuality is either good or bad or natural or not. I am simply saying that your argument based on natural is irrelevant.
So again I ask-
Why does natural = should? Isn't this just the naturalistic fallacy?
Should infertile heterosexual people be allowed to marry if procreation is the main reason for marriage?
