Personally, I don't see it as a rights issue at all. I don't believe that we should define or extend rights on the basis of sexual orientation, rather it's the equal love that others feel that should merit a marriage on a legal level.

Not sure if a poll like this has already been posted, but these are questions that I've been mulling over for sometime. Would appreciate some honest input.

I'm opposed to same-sex marriage for the simple fact that I believe it is contrary to God's will. I know it's difficult for many to see now, but decline in morality will spell the eventual destruction of our society. Proof that we are on that path has already been manifested through the advent of additional things like legalized abortion, legalized marijuana, homosexuality, and just pre-marital sex, in general. All things most of you cherish, but become very defensive (sometimes even hostile) over when an opposing view is expressed.
There is no love in disobedience.There is nothing wrong, or immoral about homosexuality, where there is love, there is God, and there is no difference between the love of a same-sex couple, and an opposite sex couple.
There is no love in disobedience.
Disobedience to what? The old testament isn't followed by christians anymore, and the new testament mentions it 4 times, 2 times of which were in passing, and 2 of which were in only a slightly finger shaking manner. sourceThere is no love in disobedience.
Being true to how you think God made you does not exonerate you from His Justice.Not disobeying anything by being true to how God made you.
You think the existence of God is conditional on human level of interest. You also believe the Bible is subject to atheist approval. These two points, alone, prove that you have no idea what you are talking about.Disobedience to what?

In fact, jesus didn't say a word about it.
Outside of the OT, which you don't listen to anymore, it doesn't say they shouldn't either. And no, it is NOT a commandment.You think the existence of God is conditional on human level of interest. You also believe the Bible is subject to atheist approval. These two points, alone, prove that you have no idea what you are talking about.
The Bible speaks only of man and woman coming together in marriage. In fact it is a commandment. No where does it say homosexuals are to do likewise.
It actually doesn't mention the man-woman relationship at all.You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

So basing your faith off the old testament, do you follow the parts where it says to kill non-believers?I'd say the Old Testament probably is the framework of my personal faith and belief system moreso than the New Testament albeit not a literal adherence to every single word. That said, I also do not feel compelled to proactively impose my religious beliefs on people. If I have to act on my faith in a way that is contrary to your benefit, well that sucks for you because I cannot not do that, but I don't go out looking for a gunfight. the Bible equates homosexuality with sin. The Bible equate divorce with sin. Laws recognizing either are unrelated to the Bible. We all are sinners, and quite frankly, I am far more worried about mine than I am anybody else's by a mile. Not being able to marry doesn't make gay people less gay anyways. This is a silly issue IMHO.
