You questioned whether I was just spouting an opinion, which would imply that it was inaccurate.

Would imply what was inaccurate?

When it is illegal for same-sex couples to marry that it was one the things they miss out on.

It seems then that you were comparing married couples with same-sex couples who were not in a legally recognised life partnership, such as a civil partnership in the UK. Which makes no sense. I think it's safe to assume that the vast majority of people one interacts with on Lemmy will live in a jurisdiction where same-sex life partnerships are legally recognised.

Vatican City

is a backward city-state and is no way representative of contemporary Western democracies.

inaccurate

What do you mean?

You said, as part of this discussion, before asking your question:

Except married couples get legal benefits that actually matter in reality that same-sex couples don't get. So its not a strawman.

Why did you state that married couples get benefits that same-sex couples don't get if you didn't know what you were saying was true?

scriptures have been adapted many many times

We're using the word "adapted" in different ways. There may be no authoritative bible text but texts which are considered to be bibles don't change in response to their environment. They may be rewritten or translated but the originals are still the originals.

That seems like a very narrow definition. Are you sure you're not just spouting your opinion?

What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

Dafuq are you talking about? It's not the case in the UK. Quoting directly from the page you linked to:

You can benefit from Marriage Allowance if all the following apply:

you’re married or in a civil partnership

...

adaptation to modern times of the scriptures

The scriptures don't adapt, only their interpretation.

Arent these religious ceremonies legally binding?

If you don't know then why are you arguing about it?

Except married couples get legal benefits that actually matter in reality that same-sex couples don't get.

That's not the case in the UK.

So its not a strawman.

It's probably not the case where you live either.
