But marriage, as defined by laws, is based on this religious ceremony from the bible's account of creation.
Your local code must be different because the Indiana Code for marriage doesn't mention anything about Adam and Eve, the Bible, or any such requirement to keep marriage laws biblically acceptable.
My point was that its the same thing, and based on that. Why would they create a law and say "this law is based on the bible: "? Lets not get silly. Law says that marriage is between a man and a woman. The people that founded this country were christians, and for the most part based their laws on those beliefs. Especially marriage.
so essentially what you're saying is forget what Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Scientists and the rest of the denominations want, just do what the Christians want, right?
This is not 1776. This country is not made up of 100% Christians. Stop trying to evangelize your beliefs on others forcefully. This is what gave Christianity a bad rap during the Inquisition and Crusades.
Since when are these other religions not allowed to vote?

Laws are based on knee-jerk opinions? Whatever the majority wants goes? No matter how illogical and destructive it might be?

I find white people acting like black people funny, and although I make fun of them internally, I don't stop them from acting like that.
Oo my family doesn't kill people so what impact does murder have on me. We're not rapist. We don't rob people. And where am I stopping a gay person from being gay, no where.
You are trying to equate the presence of gay marriages to rape, murder and theft. These things are not equal. Two gay people walking by you will not kill you. A gay couple kissing will not take your money or violate your rights.
Exactly. I'm not making people not gay. Since when did not agreeing with gay marriage not allow someone to be gay? Listen to yourself.

Ok. Let's ban EVERYTHING. Let's not leave people the ability to do ANYTHING legally. Let's just toss Freedom of Religion in the canister. If you don't believe in the majority religion, you don't have rights to your beliefs.
If you are going to equate gay marriage to MURDER, you needs your bolts checked.
You misunderstood.

On the list of the issues that affect your country... outsourcing, the economy, Iraq, terror, wide open borders, education, social security... gays getting married is so insignificant that for anyone to pay any more attention than 5 minutes is unecessary. Everyone should have equal rights, there are no 2nd class citizens. Done.

Knee-jerk? That's your opinion. Whatever the majority wants, yes. Illogical and destructive, again your opinion.

It's not. Point was that just because me and my family aren't gay, doesn't mean the issue doesn't affect me. We're also not murderers.

If it were really insignificant the debate across our country wouldn't be the way it is. I beleive that the foundation of the family is a CORE issue in America and honestly it is more important than any of those other things.

Gay marriage will not prohibit a single traditional marriage from taking place.
