I think if there were no morals in law, I should be able to walk down the street with a shogun asking people for money, as long as I don't point the gun at thier head and give them the freedom to say no, it's ok right? Innocent until proven guilty, right?
I also guess I should be able to walk outside naked and whack off while women walk past me right? Like you said, waiving a fist in your face but not hitting you?
Laws that protect against this stuff are based off of morality... man should have freedom, but not that much. Morality is what keeps society from breaking down, and I think it has little to nothing to do with religion.

Society already is low. Excessive drugs, alcohol, gangs, and so on. If anything, society will eventually "break down" with or without gay marriages. That's the way I see it.

Now, I'm talking morality in general, not just on the gay marrage subject. I don't think that gay people should be allowed the same rights because we don't know if this is just a weird non-genetic sexual preference that is getting out of hand or not.
I don't see any good reasons to let hem be married, not only from a religios stand point, but from a Scientific and Social standpoint. I mean, it's not like they can't change who they are to fit in. This is FAR different from giving black people rights... because they can't change thier skin color, or even hide it no matter what they do. If it was as easy as lying and saying they are white, they would have just to fit in, but they couldn't.

Keep in mind that most "true" gays do no choose to be gay. The chemicals in your brain can make you attractive to the same sex, and not the opposite. And why would a person want to lie to fit in? Who would want to live a life of lies? Maybe you should try it out. To lie in order to "fit in" really isn't fitting in at all.

Gay people don't have a sign on thier head saying that they are gay unless they want to. Some people who 'act' gay are some of the most homophobic people I have met in my life.
But, I guess what I'm trying to say is, gay marrage is just pushing it. Straight marrage should be supported because without a man and a woman having sex and producing children, NONE of us would be here. But gay marrage is a whole different thing... they can love each-other but why should it be protected by law? Is same sex marrage really going to help anything? All I can see it doing is pissing a bunch of people off.

I don't understand how gay marriages can piss people off. What would cause you to be pissed off at gay marriages? Jealousy? That's the only thing I can think of. Like Strangler said, it only effects the gay people and not the straight. I don't see how straight people can be pissed off over the fact that other people are receiving the same freedom as them.
