Soon the world will come to an end, because of Outragous sin. Homosexuality is one thing that god goes agaist, but hey remember who am i to say right..... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
| Where was the end of the world during the Holocaust? If outrageous sin is what will bring about the end of the world, and events like the Holocaust couldn't do it, somehow I doubt allowing two men or two women to get married is going to.

We don't have to leave it out of our argument. Freedom of Religion only protects you against being forced under a religious institution and doesn't guarantee you protection against hearing about it or people basing their value systems on it. Freedom of Speech? It still exists, you know.
| The way I see it, the point isn't that people don't think they should have to hear your religious views. The problem is that many opponents of gay marriage don't have anything to base their arguments on other than a book that was written thousands of years ago. There doesn't seem to be a universally applicable argument against gay marriage, and that's why people are asking for reasons outside of religion. The argument in favor of gay marriage does have a solid foundation that is not based in a belief system held by a fraction of the population, while the argument against it does not. |
