    It forces me to live in a society that now sanctions something that my religious beliefs tell me is a sin. There never was a law before sanctioning sin as "normal." Now there is. Abortion -- a heinous sin -- has wrongly been considered legal now for 40-plus years but it isn't considered "normal" by society. In fact, most who partake in that at least have a sense of shame and try to keep private what they've done.

    Just because more people do something doesn't turn something that was wrong into something that is right. As more and more murders occur should we decide that murder is OK? Apparently Kagen, Sotomayor, Bader Ginsberg, Kennedy and Breyer would.

    Well said. It's not just that we believe it's wrong, it's that the other side believes they can accuse us of being horrible people for following our beliefs. And that's always a one-way street.

    It's what he does. (See below).

    This is utter bullshit. You sure do put ideas in other people's heads a lot for someone who doesn't want anything pushed on him.

    Romans 13:10. Learn it Live it. Love it.
    Second, all of you who oppose gay marriage, or anything else, based on religious beliefs, tough shit. Really. Tough fucking shit. Live your life. But your stupid, irrational superstition of made up crap is not a significant reason to prevent, prohibit or make anyone uncomfortable about doing anything. Since this is predominately a Christian country let me say it's full of shit. If the underlying message is love thy neighbor, you all have totally fucked that message up. Not be gay, don't have an abortion, don't charge interest, obey your made up bible translated so many times that you have no idea what was originally written by politicians 2000 years ago. Keep your hocus pocus nonsense away from rational discourse

    Well-worded reply, but this still doesn't answer the question of how it CHANGES your life. Will you go out to your car tomorrow and see two men butt fucking on the hood? I'm guessing no. Will you walk out to get your mail tomorrow and have to see two women 69ing by the mailbox? Again, I'm guessing no. Will the NFL halftime show now show highlights of the games from around the league and then footage of one guy sucking another man's cock... sponsored by Mike's Hard Lemonade!.....NO. The simple truth is it doesn't affect you, or me, or anyone. I don't like that churches that change and shape public policy don't have to pay taxes, but it that has no bearing on me directly. Same applies here.

    No, it doesn't force you to live in that society. You are allowed to leave any time you like.

    And that entire post is you applying your faith to others. Sorry, but that doesn't fly in this country.

    You know, I'm not that comfortable with Heterosexual public displays of affections, but I don't think if you participate in that sort of behavior you're going to end up in eternal damnation. And sure as shit i don't want a law to prevent that.
