My point wasn't about letting or not letting gays do anything. My point was about the implication that since the Bible/God/Jesus calls for us to love one another that that somehow means that the meaning of love is to accept and allow any behavior that anyone wants to exhibit, and if you don't then you don't 'love' them. In a nut shell, it's an empty argument.
Really quick again though.
I mention that our lives are incredibly short, and that we all deserve a shot at happiness.
If allowing gays to marry will make a certain group of people much more happier, and improve their lives drastically, all while not changing the lives or legal rights of straight people one bit (as they will still be allowed to marry people of the same sex and call it marriage), how can that possibly be a bad thing?
Im not saying that the church should be barred from speaking their opinion as I believe in freedom of speech but what I am saying is that they are only working to make the humanity worse off. No ones benefiting from banning gay marriage. Theres only losers. So whats the point?
On most of your points I agree with you. And if there's such a 'bad feeling' from a majority about having it called a marriage, then call it something else and move on. You get what you want, do you not? Unless that's not what they want?
i have a better idea... the religious right should try to remember we don't live in a theocracy and move on.
