Trust me, we've been through this before. In Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the opponents of same sex marriage couldn't come up with literally a single argument for their case without inducing religious morality, and that, in a nutshell, is why they lost.
There are atheists against gay marriage.

Yup. Since you are against equal rights for gay people, that makes you an anti-gay bigot. That is correct. After "multiple posts", it looks like you finally get it. Simple logic...

Wrong. Marriage EVEN IN THE BIBLE has been between 1 man+1 woman. 1 man+MANY women. 1 man+MANY concubines. 1 man+slaves. 1man+the woman he rapes(after he rapes her she becomes his property). 1 man+women of conquered tribes or countries. 1 man+ young women(under 13). 1 man+his brothers widow.


As you can see...the BIBLE covers all of these. Ergo...HISTORICALLY redefined.

You're making this way too easy.

I'm sure they are. What arguments do they use to support their position though?

Which is fine.

Being against gay marriage personally is fine.

Actively campaigning against it is not.

Thank you for your honesty. So to be clear, everyone should act, think and presumably, vote alike, in order to not be a "bigot" "anti-gay" or "ignorant". Got it.

This post sounds like it's coming from a closet case troll speaking from experience. Move on...

I don't think anyone claimed you didn't have the legal right to have bigoted beliefs. After all, I'd like to introduce you to this group calleed the Ku Klux Klan. Perhaps you've heard of them?

Marriage isn't a right. But just to be clear, you support a dad marrying his daughter, as long as they are consenting adults? A mom and her son? Mom and daughter? Brother and sister?
