Woah wait hold on. I'm pretty sure gays aren't demanding that they be allowed to get married in churches (i.e. that churches have to accomodate them). But they are asking for the right to be married, which for many purposes is different (tax, next of kin, benefits, rah rah) and superior to a...

Agnosticism is more not caring if something exists or not because one has no proof of it.

What? He doesn't use science to disprove God. He use philosophy to disprove God. You can't use science to disprove something that doesn't exist in the physical world. Have you even read Dawkins' work?

No I mean, they're religious. They have a religious moral framework to answer to; just no God. Are they equally as incapable of morality as atheists?

Are the world's half-billion Buddhists equally incapable of morality?

Not to mention the ones who have been murdered.

Yeah, it does. The people who attacked him should be in jail. But that's all you can find on religious discrimination? That's it? That's the sum total of your evidence?

Does it? For me, marriage is the ultimate statement of love and commitment between two people. It is the declaration that you wish to share your life with one person, and no other, for the rest of your life. I guess the only difference is that I don't need a god to make that valid.

How are religious people discriminated against? No, really. I'm curious. It's much more so that atheists are discriminated against, but hey, I'm interested to see how a majority opinion could be so browbeaten into submission that they'd call it discrimination. Also, lol, gay agenda? You...

Other people have the right and they don't, for an arbitrary reason. Hey, it's just as valid as your argument "I don't like it, therefore they can't have it!"

There aren't. If there were, we wouldn't be having this dicussion. So essentially, "waaaah waaah Christians are so discriminated against, which means we get to discriminate against whomever and whatever we want, and because we're in the majority (hey we're a majority but we're so oppressed...

Refusing them violates their right not to be discriminated against based on their sexuality. That makes it a right.

That's more of an argument for gay marriage than against. Have not Christians strove for their rights in the face of lethal adversity? Why not allow gay people to do the same? They don't need to be coddled or babied by people afraid for their safety if they were allowed to get married.

Yet you're discriminating against them getting married and adopting. What, do these not count?

But that's what you're saying. The right for Christians (&etc) to not be offended over gays getting married is more important than allowing gays to get married.

And where does this hate come from, I wonder? People like you.

It's pretty simple. Wear condoms if you aren't in a committed monogamous relationship; be tested (bloods and smears for the girls) before you stop using them, if you find out your partner has cheated on you, or yearly for the truly paranoid.

So you're saying it's okay for the law to discriminate against people because it would offend you if it didn't and your right to not be offended/have your views respected is more important than their right to not be discriminated against. Oh wait, I forgot, Christians are bigger and better and...

Like what? You're saying that gay marriage should remain illegal because some religious person will get so offended they'll go on a mad rampage and hurt someone? Man, that says a lot about your religion(s).
