Beau: We’re under attack from the gays apparently.
Sam: I agree, this is stupid.
Beau: Good.
Sam: This decision should be left to the states.
Beau: What? No, it’s just stupid. There’s no reason why gays shouldn’t be allowed to be married. No logic to it whatsoever. The only logical argument they can offer up is that once we let gays marry then we’ll have to let my uncle marry a dog.
Owen: Your uncle wants to marry sheep, not dogs!
Beau: It’s a completely stupid argument, I think we could allow gays to marry without sinking into relativism. I think we need to admit that it’s okay for gays to marry and seriously examine why it’s not okay to marry dogs.
Owen: Sheep!
Beau: That way we’ll know for sure instead of basing our values on what Falwell tells us. There’s just no thinking to it at all.
Sam: Faith should always back up rationality.
Beau: Faith has nothing to do with rationality. Kierkegaard said so.
Sam: No, dogma must back up all values.
Beau: That’s ridiculous! That’s why society seems to crumble, we killed God and now we have no grounds for our values, but we never stopped to use our minds–maybe not rationality, but ourselves–to find new grounds for new values.
Owen: I think it should be okay to marry dogs…tomorrow’s six-six-oh-six.
Beau: A meteor’s gonna hit Orlando.
