Interspecies Marriage

Now we've gotten over homosexual marriage now its time we discuss interspecies marriage.i say we being to act like responsible people and accept the reality of zoophilia.For example if a man living a lonely life falls in love with his favourite animal or a women having impressed with the greatness of her horses penis and falls in love who are we to judge them.And isn't god all about love.So i want to see interspecies marriages taking place at the churches right now.What do you think?Hasn't the time come we drop our prejudices about zoophilia?
Assuming this whole paragraph you posted was not a private joke and meant to be serious, you bring up a point that is very very serious but your claims about God are trivial and silly.

First the trivial and silly.
1. You must assume God exists in order to make claims about what he is or does. I am going to assume you probably mean the biblical God, but most of my points would apply to Yahweh (which we share with Judaism, and even much about Allah.

God created marriage between a man and a women as an earthly symbol for the marriage between Christ and the Church. Countless verses refer to Christ as the bridegroom and calls the Church the bride.

You also made a ridiculous claim that because God is a God of love that anything we may love is there for virtuous. People that can vote and reason like this scare me. I can love drugs and alcohol. Are the thousands of twisted burning wrecks on the highways and the dead bodies inside them a good thing? If you do not think you can love alcohol and drugs read a twelve step manual. They compare the level of love to a marriage. They say leaving your drug behind will cause the same level of mourning as loosing a loved one. Serial killers have admitted by the dozens the only time the feel loved or happy is when hurting others. So lets skip this silly garbage and conclude that not all love is justifiable or a virtue.

Now for the extremely important point you made.
2. Once you untether morality (Malum en se') from it's objective foundation then it is free to be plugged into anything anyone wishes, just like you did by plugging it into marriage schizophrenia. As Dostoevsky wrote, if God be not then all things are permitted. If you eliminate the objective grounding for moral values and duties you can make anything moral because without God the highest moral authority in existence is you and whatever you happen to like or want. Hitler was also just as right as you think marrying a building would be (BTW people have been legally married to all sorts of things like dead people, the berlin wall, the Eiffel tower, their pets). Once you deny the moral law giver that transcends human opinion, you necessarily lose objective moral laws by which to say anything is right or anything is wrong, which in turn makes right and wrong meaningless. You have in effect created a moral insane asylum and call it progress.

Please be so kind as to present where an animal other than human is legally allowed to enter into a contract.
Until then, humans are the only animals allowed to enter into a contract.

This sounds more like the sort of thing religious people make up than actual reality.

I'd be up for interspecies marriage if the other species in question were hot alien dudes. On a quest to find fertile females that are sexually compatible. That they would dote on and revere. To help repopulate their species. That has lost the vast majority of their women due to some tragic unfortunate catastrophe. Uh...yeah, that sounds okay for interspecies marriage.

Actually I should not have used the word legally because I am not sure that is the case in every instance. I found it in a top ten list at a site called list verse. You can search for it within the site I believe, but as my computer has been switched from a normal server to a secured DOD server it no longer allows me to view that site which is a shame because that site is very well made and interesting. It is so well known that people claim to feel romantic love for inanimate objects that it has an official label. It's called among many unofficial labels, Object Sexuality.

Animals cannot consent. Lets find a species of equal intelligence and contemplative abilities and maybe.

This is illogical, as animals cannot legally consent. And, no one can force churches to marry same-sex couples, so why did you mention that?

I'll sum this up for you.
The reality doesn't support your Christian beliefs, so you used some false and inflammatory rhetoric from an obscure website to make your argument.
Did I miss anything?

I was pro-interspecies relationships when playing Mass Effect, but have currently decided not to bring that view over into the real world, considering non-humans are both incapable of informed consent, and not legally allowed to sign a contract.

Just get a furry glove or something.

You certainly did and this has nothing to do with my faith.

1. The bible does not say anything about not allowing a women to marry the berlin wall. Maybe even God could not predict something that stupid.
2. The site I learned about all these people marrying all these bizarre entities and objects has no theological point of view. It simply reported a list of people who married pathetically stupid objects.

Quit looking for conspiracy's, plots, and secret plans, and simply let the facts speak for themselves.

When you unhook morality from any objective transcendent standard then everything is equally wrong or equally right. You no longer have an objective source to count on to tell you whether anything is right or wrong. You have to turn your self or a group of ourselves into God and pretend their (usually self interested and faulty) ethical declarations now govern. By dismissing God you dismiss any hope than anything what so ever is actually morally true. And I gave you a couple of examples of how societies or people who use their own moral standards as truth wind up doing stupid things. If you really want to see what happens in these situations look at Stalin's USSR. They picked him specifically because he hated religion in general and he did his best to annihilate it from his huge empire and at least 20 million died in the process. Atheistic utopias have been some of the most lethal, totalitarian, and oppressive experiments in history.

Let me ask you a question. Without appealing to anything that transcends us. Prove that the holocaust was wrong and feeding the poor in Africa good? That is in your world view there exist any moral truths or duties at all.
