"I believe marriage to be a government isssue not a religious issue"
The institution of marriage belongs to the church lol. They invented it.
You just want to be tolerant of everything, nice to everyone while confusing that with "progress" , well sometimes one effects the other and you have to choose and not live up to the "brain dead, wishy washy" stereotype of an overly liberal person who doesn't think beyond surface value.
I'm not making fun, i'm just saying you're statments are conflicting. You are spitting in catholics faces and on their tradition by allowing gay marriage, something their religion considers evil. And as marriage is a part of their religion and not the gays you can see what i'm talking about if you "think"
They may have invented it but why does the government have to be involved to make it a legal marriage?
That makes it a government issue these days. A ton of non-religious people get married everyday.
I am not a liberal, I am sure you have little to know idea about American politics. In the same way I know little about Austrailian politics.
Anyway I am not a liberal, I am a libertarian leaning independent.
As you can see if you look, I made an edit to my first comment on this poll.
I will just copy and paste it here...
"I don't think that any law should be made against anyone's religion."
EDIT:
I don't think that any law should be made banning anyone's religion.
People have the right to believe whatever they want.
Not everyone is going to be happy all the time, you can't win every issue.
If that makes catholics sad I don't really care. They have bigger issues of their own to deal with besides two grown people of the same gender fucking each other. I think fucking kids is much worse.
I'm not strictly Libertarian but I certainly sympathise with the ideas and find the arguments generally sound. That's probably why your comments on this post have made the most sense to me.
I share the idea that personal liberty is of paramount importance.
Why not just call it something other than "marriage"? But aparently thats not good enough. I don't think it's about civil rights anymore, because gays won't do that. It's just a case of wanting to feel special and throw a big party!
I believe all religions are bigger and more important than a few people who want to put a ring on their finger.
In response to Tommy: YOU have YOUR right to practice any religion that you wish in America, so long as it does not impede on tangible life, liberty, or happiness. The keyword there is "tangible"--harm must be physical to hold up in an American court of law.
So, gay people having sex and wanting to get married offends you as a Catholic. The thing is, is that the harm is in your head. The injury is limited to the ego. You cannot touch the harm gay people do collectively--there are certainly vile gays, though, just as there are dangerous heterosexuals. So it would be common sense for me to support gay unions, even IF they made me uncomfortable. But, what the fuck do I care? As long as consent goes both ways I say GO FOR IT. I can't believe the world is still having this conversation in this day and age. It honestly upsets me. Like, can we drop it? Can we talk about poverty, sickness, state-sponsored terrorism, or the 2152 nuclear warheads currently in our national arsenal? Nevertheless, despite my annoyance with the triviality of the topic, I will continue championing gay rights because they deserve to get married if they wish it so.
IIN to think that parents raising their children religiously should...

I was talking about banning religion in general not bowing to everyone's personal beliefs.

Right on man.
"If that makes catholics sad I don't really care"
Thats my point, you don't care. But you care about keeping some gays from being sad? It's odd to me that people think this way.
