First of all, it is NOT
only religious people who are against gay marriage. I am an Agnostic and
am against gay marriage. The contempt gay marriage advocates show against religions in general
is, to me, as distasteful as the contempt they feel against
people - such as myself, who are against gay marriage.
It is not only religious people who are opposed
to gay marriage, and, if gay marriage advocates yearn for compassion for homosexuals, then they must shed his nasty hatred for all who are religious. I do share the lack of belief, but have strong feelings that it would become of us to let others make their own decisions, regarding religion,
and, if they need religion in their lives, then so be it.
Some will say, if I am so
tolerant, then how come I am not equally tolerant about gays and gay marriage?
Simply because I feel - and always did and always will, that it goes
against the very fortress of society; it undermines what is established as the
fabric of society; helping it to function well, in a traditional manner; none
of which would be the case if gays were allowed to marry. I view that the stability of a society is built upon the family; the family meaning, one man, one woman, and, possibly, their children. To alter this now in my view, is undermining the very fabric of our society - for many reasons and on many different levels. Without meaning to be facetious, I would also mention the fact that it is important to note that the male and female body have been "created' precisely for coupling - not so two male bodies; so there you have a very profound basis for the family concept: a man and a woman.
To be frank - why else would the male and female bodies have been created specifically for the accommodation of sex?! It would be just another aberration which would undermine the stability of our society.
There is the further consideration of children being raised by same-sex parents. Where are the dual role models which benefit children?? I have discussed this ad nauseam and I was
merely struck by gay marriage advocates lack of tolerance for people who do
have religion in their lives.
Most gay marriage advocates are mixing up apples
and oranges, regarding non-religious people's views of gay marriage. Those of us who are non-religious and opposed to it, do not relate
the issue with the Bible, nor with the fact that there are many divorces
among heterosexual marriages. Those divorces will, obviously, also occur and
thrive in gay marriages. My objections too often stated have nothing to do with the Bible - or with divorce.
