[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;23410031]Seeing as how it's an opinion, no it can't be concretely right or wrong, but it can be when they put that opinion into action. I'm not arguing against the church believing that, I never said they shouldn't. What I said was that they were evil for doing so because to deny people equal rights is pretty much evil. I don't understand how you think a religious argument is valid in society, because like i've said, [B]secular[/B]. I'm not entirely sure what you're even arguing, besides some amorphous point about they not being right or wrong or idk. All I get is that you're supporting them.[/QUOTE] No-one's putting the opinion into action, unless you're talking about Catholic weddings. Surely the Catholic Church can set the conditions of its own weddings?

Who do you think the politicians and the people protesting against gay marriage and supporting anti-gay marriage laws are? Not all of them are Catholic, no, a lot are evagelicals, but the catholics still make up a large amount of the people working against equal rights for gay people.
Do people who don't support gay marriage deserve less say than people who do?
Typical stupid Catholics.
[QUOTE=Dr_Funk;23413011]Do people who don't support gay marriage deserve less say than people who do?[/QUOTE] Yes, because people who don't support gay marriage pose a greater detriment to society than people that do. You don't see people balancing the opinions of thieves against non-thieves, murderers against non murderers. It's a violation of human rights to deny them these things, and it doesn't matter if you think those rights should be violated.
for people who vow never to get laid they really do care alot of others doing it....
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;23398471]I honestly can't see the Catholic Church surviving for more than another decade, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over and over. They're showing themselves to be monsterous human beings and everyone except Bill Donahue (that's it) can see it.[/QUOTE] I cant see RELIGION lasting for more than a decade. I hope they ban it for good.
[QUOTE=Dr_Funk;23413011]Do people who don't support gay marriage deserve less say than people who do?[/QUOTE] They deserve to be just as loud but they don't deserve to make legislation that violates existing constitutions.

The only right way to get rid of religion is through education.

Alright first of all anyone saying "ban religion" is just as intolerant as gay-hating religious people. Second, from my understanding of it, gay marriage isn't forbidden by the bible. The verse concerning homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22 I believe) says that a man shall not LIE with a man as he does a woman. So they can get married, they just cant have buttsex. It's very specific. I don't even know why the church cares. Although I may be wrong, so if I am feel free to correct me. Thats just how I understand it.
[QUOTE=Dr_Funk;23409628]And you're all so sure that you're definitely right... maybe the Church's belief that they are right is as strong as yours?[/QUOTE] I believe all racists should be hung drawn and quartered, does that make it right? I also believe that we should have draconian punishments for certain crimes again it ain't right.
I don't know why you think we should abolish religion. Sure, catholics and islam have made a bad impression on us, but what about the bhuddists and jews? Were pretty cool right?
