Why are some straight people so scared of gay marriage?

lol

Being the good atheist that I am, I'm not very well versed in the bible, but I believe oldglory cherry picks what he believes and what he doesn't believe.

Just like the "stats" showing how many people now support marriage equality - he doesn't like the truth, so he chooses to not believe the polls.

I'd still bet that he chose to believe the polls that said Romney was going to win, though.

how come secular countries like North Korea don't allow then. obviously their are secular reasons why same gender "marriage" is wrong.

1) Only in the context of pagan worship rituals and

wrong see the sanhedrien, and the yad on the subject.

2) Those same books call for anyone who works on the Sabbath to be executed.

which if your Jewish you should agree with (when theirs a Beis Hamikdash)

Seeing as your claim about men lying with men comes from a Jewish, not a Christian book, and the overwhelming majority of Jews support same-sex marriage, it's clear lots of people disagree with you. You are not the arbiter of truth. The Bible is in fact quite vague on the subject and Jesus said not a single word about it.

most Jews are mechali shabbos befarhesya (work on sabbath), eat behamos temos, treifos, nevalos etc. (eat pork), don't keep tahras hamishpacha (figure it out yourself), never even heard of shevos.
In short most Jews don't know or care the first thing about Yideshkeit (Judaism). Orthodox Jews who follow the torah know that gay relations are wrong and worthy of death.

So you want us to be like North Korea?

North Korea is a communist and oppressive country. They also don't allow people to leave their country or speak out against the government. So is it really surprising that human rights such as gay marriage isn't on their radar?

and there are very rational bases for those decisions(that doesn't mean it moral,or right but it's rational).

gay "marriage" advocates claim that the only reason why people are against same gender "marriage" is religion and NK proves that wrong.

Yup. Evangelical-style Xians want the world to be run according to their cherry-picked sentences from two of the multiple religious belief texts on the earth, but they have cherry-picked them to DEATH! They reject most part of those books they claim are the word of God. If there's a God, he must be flipping out at the cherry-picking these so-called Christians engage in. They're busy as hamsters in the cafeteria picking-and-rejecting they do with the 2 bibles. Pretty pathetic.
