Now we see it. If your sole basis for the argument against same-sex marriage is based on the fact that you think homosexual behavior is a sin, then we're into a whole new ballpark. Is this the case?

Nope, the sinfulness of homosexuality is only part of the reason.



And if you are a fundamentalist, who thinks that every word in the Bible as we read it today was God-inspired directly from God himself, then not only is there no arguing with you (because you claim the authority of God for yourself), but you really need to find a forum where the morality of homosexual behavior is debated, not the legality of gay marriage.

This forum debates both.




Gay marriage is a civil issue, not a religious or even a moral issue. Don't believe me? Consider this: It is perfectly legal for a lesbian to marry a gay man, and then live in separate houses with their own gay partners. This is LEGAL. Is it moral? You tell me. But regardless, it's legal.

But same sex marriage is NOT legal (apart from temporarily in MA).

Not all legal behaviour is moral, and not all immoral behaviour is illegal.



The legality of same-sex marriage is not about whether or not you think homosexual behavior is wrong.
