Not really focusing on the group marriage, which you have presented well on this thread, but it's always been a circular argument in my opinion to say the above.
I wasn't attempting to establish a causal relationship with those principles (even though that is surely my belief) but more that there are principles that align universally with other belief systems and thus I wouldn't consider them to be labeled as a Christian principle by an atheist or someone who believes in reincarnation . Kindness, respect of property, generosity, etc.... I agree the logic is circular, but there is no way to really get around that. All believe systems start with just that...a belief. At some point the logic FOR the belief is going to get back around to the origin which is a leap of faith and cannot be proven. Your starting point is everything, but there are shared values across the spectrum that we can all co-enlist. While you may attribute their origin to 'Reason X', I can attribute their origin to 'Reason F'. But we can both agree that the value is desirable to be shared. I hope I am saying that correctly.
