Persuasive Writing Techniques: Same Sex Marriage

Rather, it is something deeper more genuine a union which does not need to follow social order. It is about two people loving each other for how they naturally know how to. This makes the reader come to the understanding that gay marriage is not an attention seeking behavior; but instead a sincere desire for another. Pollit concludes by saying the only objection to gay marriage is based on religious prejudice. Which means that there is no logical reasoning behind people disapproval of gay marriage.

But one of the important issues discussed in hot debates is the Gay marriage that has recently been permitted in the States. This was a real change in the whole country; many people welcomed the idea because they believe in total freedom of the human being and citizens’ liberties. But other groups mostly coming from religious backgrounds stood against what has been restructured in the amendment concerning this point. The debate will never come to an end simply because proponents and opponents will see it from different angles and no one will decide who is right and who is

Johnson explains in his book that psychology and Christianity went hand-in-hand as a coalition. This is seemingly due to the church’s assumed responsibility of soul-care, and the belief that all problems were caused by sin, not necessarily mental illness (2010). However, there are currently several views of conflict between psychology and Christianity, similar to the conflict recurrently found between science and faith. There is importance in the correlation of psychology and Christianity for both scientists and Christians. When not examined and pondered on, the relationship between psychology and Christianity today can cause much confusion in an individual, potentially leading to atheism and evolutionism.

Owning other humans as slaves goes against the bible, which means Miss Watson's teachings to Huck were hypocritical. A similar action takes near the end of the book, but this time with the Phelps family. This family too is very Catholic, but also own salves and lock Jim in a shed without a floor (Twain 246). Twain implemented this ironic factor to prove to readers that even those who follow a religion for the sake of doing what is "right," can also be vulnerable to mistakes as great as owning

One of this year’s GOP presidential candidates-Ted Cruz- suggested that the US government prioritize the refugees that are Christian (Strickland). A statement such as this is discriminatory in that there is unequal treatment based on religion. And likewise it is prejudice because Cruz claims that there is no risk that a Christian would commit a terrorist crime, clearly displaying favoritism to a specific religion (Strickland). Such favoritism makes the process of entering far more difficult for refugees. In The Grapes of Wrath, the migrants have plenty pinned against them as well.

According to Smith, many Americans are concerned and even frightened by the systematic growth of evangelism (1). Americans fear that the evangelical dominance could result in the violation of religious freedom in the United States. Although many evangelicals argue that they are the religious minority, they are the ones who often religiously discriminate others since they are often very intolerant of other religions. Some people even argue that evangelicals seek to marginalize and eradicate those whom they disagree with (Smith, 4). The violation of religious freedom by evangelical dominance is particularly problematic for the children with evangelical parents.

Misogyny, sexism, racism, regardless the label used to define it does not make it right or less painful for those who are impacted by them. History books, magazines are filled with incidents and often times horrible, painful stories of lives that were altered or simply destroyed by sexism. For centuries, the bible, constitutions even our own declaration of independence have supported this notion of inequality. The question is, how to get a unified society when even the rule of law promote sexism and make it legal to discriminate against women. The bible in the book of Ephesian states “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

That is why assisted suicide needs to be made legal in all of the United States. Everyone’s view of euthanasia is different. Some think it is best for what the patients want and give them that, others have their religious values to speak out against assisted death. Religions like Christianity and Catholics believe that assisted suicide violates the sanctity of life. The Mormon communities believe “Euthanasia is condemned.

Can people even answer this or will they just push it over their shoulder? This is relevant because gay rights are not civil rights in any form of fashion; the government just gave in because they did not want riots, even though they happened as any way. Its making our human race think these kind of rights are acceptable, but yet make us think that what I believe is wrong. Its idiotic and vulgar to think that two of the same sex should be able to share a bed, bathroom, kids, a life together, and be able to exchange vows in a wedding. Its just not right to say that, but what does anyone

When gay marriage rights were a “hot topic”, the people on the opposing side believed that it challenged the original concept of what marriage was ‘supposed’ to be. "I think it's a matter of both biology and cultural values, and our western democratic societies' cultural values are most definitely [in favour of] one man and one woman, and polygamy threatens that just as same sex marriage threatened that. Polygamy threatens it on the monogamous level, same sex marriage threatened it on the biological level” (Hebbert). Due to the level of known abuse surrounding the Polygamist communities, most people think believe that if Polygamy was legalized that the government would be supporting this abuse and letting it happen. Not only are children in trouble in polygamous relationships, women can be too.

In our society, gay marriage opposers are notorious for citing “religious freedom” in order to not serve the LGBT community, and by and large we have accepted this. By bringing a somewhat obscure religion- Hinduism- into the discussion, Von Drehle is able to give the reader a better picture of what Davis is actually doing- and by forcing the reader to recognize that for anything else, citing religious freedom would not be an excuse to not perform one’s duties as an elected official in a community. By starting out with a question to the reader rather than an opinion he wishes the

The case was, in a brief summary, a decision as to whether or not polygamy could be allowed or dismissed if one was filling their “religious duty.” The ruling was that religious beliefs are not supposed to be governed, as the government reaches actions, not opinions. The government cannot make laws regarding religion, but can reach actions when the principles are a violation of “social duties or subversive of good order.” Seeing as polygamy has always been treated as a crime against humanity and marriage is considered the most important factor of social life, one can see as to why this case was such an important encounter with the

I believe a hero is someone who accepts everyone no matter what, does good even when no one is looking and is willing to broaden their views and not be self centered. Therefore, no, I do not think Kim davis is a hero because she discriminates a group of people because of her own religious views and she is a hypocrite. She says she does everything under God and the Bible but she has commited several sins herself! If Kim Davis wants to punish others because of how she interpreted the Bible, then she should punish herself first for commiting adultery and having four marriages and three divorces and more than one affair. An example would be this quote from the Bible: “...yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye.

The backlash on the ruling is much warranted. I say this because if we took a national poll, the ruling would be that gay marriage would not be allowed. We live in a democratic society where the people "should" rule but as always, the government has the final say. Although I do agree with the backlash and understand why it is happening I still hold firm to my belief that they should still be allowed to marry. I believe this because if my neighbors who are both males were to marry each other, why or how does that influence or affect my life.

He argued that Christians will be disturbing the peace and those who do are rebelling and are disobedient. If you become disobedient to the king, you are also disobeying God. Boucher argues that if God wanted them to have independence they would have had it, and they should be grateful and thankful with our without it. He says “Obedience to government is every man’s duty because it is ever man’s interest; but it is particularly incumbent on Christians, it is enjoined by the positive commands of God.” (#32; pg. 101) Boucher had many unpersuasive arguments.
