Harrier can't marry a cat - aren't liberals for marriage equality?
Have you asked the cat for her paw in marriage? Is it a regular cat or one of those biblical talking critters?
If it can talk and give its consent.....go for it!!! Whatever floats your fur ball.

Christians are some of the most progressive religious followers. There's no reason to oppose them. Atheists just don't agree with creationism being taught as science.

It 's the height of ignorance to know we don't even get here on our own.. we found out how we got here but not the why..

This world is much too intricate for our limited brains to even find the basic answers..
Scientists guess at most things and change their minds and if they find out something they think they did something..

it always was... before man found out about it.

Who is "they," and how are they "pushing you to accept" anything? Unless you are an incredibly weak-willed human being, nobody and no laws can force you to change your beliefs on the matter. Now the laws against gay marriage, on the other hand, actually DO force a belief set onto those who disagree. If gay marriage is legal, you can either choose to marry someone of the same sex, or you can choose not to... you are also still free to believe as you choose, and to say "uh-uh, I don't like it" regardless of what the law states. When you pass or enforce a law against SSM, however, you are thereby taking the choice away from Americans who don't share your sentiments. See the difference there?

Christianity is legal, right? So does that mean all of us non-Christians are being forced (or even pushed) to accept it as the true religion? I don't think any of us see it that way, we just see it as being inclusive and accepting of ALL belief sets - inclusive again being the key word, which is a concept you obviously don't understand. People like you have a very self-centered view of the world, and think the laws should only reflect YOUR preferences... thus the backlash against religious extremists, which I'm sure wouldn't be so prevalent if you just let people live their lives.

Take a biology class.

And I'd suggest you take your biology class at a Bible college as well.

Really? So I guess you didn't get killed by the tiger because you didn't try to eat the big mac chained to a stake down the street from where you live? And even as you post you're working on an antidote for the humanicide spray the ants are about to employ on you as you crash their picnic?

Really?

Someone pushed you into marrying someone of the same sex, or have an abortion?

Yes and those that will stand for anything oppose those that stand for something.

For "thousands of years" marriage has also meant between a grown man and a very young girl, or between a man and 37 women.

Well, I certainly have. Many times throughout the course of my life in this area.

At the same time, I sincerely believe that the vast majority of Christians are kind, intelligent, reasonable people who typically keep their judgment of others to themselves.
