System justification bias alert because animals are not people by law (despite how much PETA wants you to believe it is true.) The only species that gets married BY LAW are humans. All others just mate and maybe raise their kids. Hell, male lions are polygamists and kill off any male offspring.
Well, until recently the only people who got married BY LAW, were one man and one woman.
so why should the people that don't follow your religion (or, heck, your interpretation of your religion) be forced to live by its teachings. If a Muslim or Hindu tried to force you to live their way, I bet you'd be infuriated, and rightfully so. What makes Christianity so special that, unlike the other faiths, even those that don't believe should be forced to abide by it?
People who pervert God's word of compassion and caring in order to hate, and justify taking the rights away from, others are disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. I thought people would have learned during the civil rights era about doing so, but I guess some people just like to hate other human beings for what they are.
Where do you find God showing compassion and caring for debauchery? Can you give me the scripture references where he had compassion and caring for homosexuality, and even approved of homosexual marriage?
What did God mean when he said, "The two shall become one flesh?" (and he was speaking of a man leaving his mother and father and cleaving to his wife).
This has nothing to do with what was fought for in the civil rights era. This isn't about race.
Why do homosexuals hate Christians who believe God's word? You are a hypocrite.
It's not racist, but it's not sensible. Gay marriage makes total 100% sense. It helps the economy because businesses that plan weddings and travel arrangements for the marriages will see higher revenues, and therefore more tax dollars going to the government, which is a good thing. It also encourages monogamous relationships to prevent the spread of disease and promote a more stable lifestyle. It also makes people HAPPY, which happens to be a GOOD thing.
By not having gay marriage, it's not like gays will suddenly want to marry someone of the opposite sex. Please.
It is only racist if you are against people getting married because of skin color, it is bigoted to be against people getting married because of sexual orientation.
Why? Who decided that it was okay for two men or two women to "marry?" Being against debauchery is not bigoted.
believe God's word all you want. But don't force anyone else to, or try to base laws around your specific religion. Your standards of debauchery are yours, so you have every right to keep them out of your home and, if the community agrees, your church. Your standards don't apply anywhere else. Sorry.

And, characterization of a same sex relationship of "debauchery" is pretty much a bigoted thing to say.

Because your belief is used to OPPRESS homosexuals and STRIP THEM OF THEIR RIGHTS as free citizens.
If all you did was "believe" and not take the next step to USE THAT BELIEF AGAINST OTHERS, there would be no conflict.
I love bacon and pork chops. Jews and Muslims think it's against God. However, they do not try to make it illegal for me to eat bacon because THEIR god and holy book says it's forbidden.
Why is it hard for Christians to take a similar stance? Why can Christians support OTHER things being legal in this country that also go against the Bible? For example, Christians support divorce being legal. They also don't make nearly as big a fuss over the morality of divorce, all call divorcees all sorts of names. Similarly, most Christians claim they support the freedom and right to worship other Gods. Both are against the Bible. Especially the latter.
