if we allow same sex marriages then why cant we marry our dog,cat,car,boat or whatever?

Answer 1

There's no tax incentive.

Answer 2

Interesting wedding that would be. I would crash it and tell everyone I was related to the boat.

Traditionally marriage was an institution for the reproduction and upbringing of children. Since same sex relationships cannot produce children w/o outside help anymore than a plutonic relationship can, I see your point.

I think there would be a lot less objection to same sex marriage if they did not insist on labeling it a marriage. Why not just call it a contract?

Answer 3

The logical argument for same-sex marriages without permitting marriage to animals or objects would be to define marriage as the wedding of two human individuals regardless of gender.

Whether this is based on emotional, financial, or sexual reasons is up in the air. Simply put, the above is the most logical argument.

Answer 4

I suppose you could if you were dying to. You can always find some kook priest who will marry you and your bowling trophy. But inanimate objects - eh, kind of boring, and animals that lack self-awareness like humans possess would also be a waste of time. But listen if you are dying for some cat strange, that's your thing. I just pity all the cats in your neighborhood...

You ask lots and lots and lots of religious questions. And that's fine, but you seem to be a student of religious texts like the bible - and you can't find anything that says no marrying inanimate objects or outside your species in your religious text?

I also bet you can flip right to the "no gays" parts. Sort of like you obsess on it. Hmmm... that says a lot about you right there.

Answer 5

Beats me, I'm opposed to same-sex marriages personally.
I would love to go to a wedding where someone is marrying their boat, or their cat. What gift could you buy?

Answer 6

Let's see, cars and boats are inanimate objects, something isn't alive can't sign a marriage contract whether by word-of-mouth or by signature.

Dogs, cats, and indeed all non-human animals lack the intellectual capacity to consent, expressed or implied. They have no idea what the hell is going on.

Are you comparing the love of two people for each other (Romantic love) to the love one has for a pet (Familial, as most people consider their pets as part of the family.) or object (paraphilia)? Kinda strange question you have there.

homosexuality =/= beastiality

Answer 7

I vote for your question as being the dumbest question I've ever heard. People are the only creatures on this earth that even know what marriage is. I mean I guess you could marry your dog or even maybe someone else's, but if it fails then I'm sure everyone will know who's fault it was.

Answer 8

A church is now being sued for firing a instructor of their Christian college for having pre-marital intercourse. This is going against the church homes standards and instructors settlement yet I nonetheless heard liberal legal experts arguing for the lawsuit. So stressful appropriate to the criminal themes of similar intercourse marriages is a valid venture for church homes. I even have under no circumstances heard every person say this is going to take place yet i'd agonize approximately that if I have been a church.

Answer 9

nothing wrong in two people same sex or not committing to each other but marrying a boat or a car or pet???

Answer 10

You're a real pot stirrer, aren't you?

Marriage should be between two human beings.

It's not exactly like we heterosexuals are doing such a great job at staying married.

Answer 11

Well, I'm pretty sure your mom married a dog or cat because no human could ask such a dumb question.
