What makes abortion or gay marriage any worth more legislating than any other sin that is legal like pornography, fornication, or lying? Isn't a sin a sin because they all make you deserving of hell? Not having gay marriage isn't going to stop people from commiting sexual sins or stop sin in general. If religion can be used as legal justification for laws, then maybe eating pork should be illegal because it offends jews and muslims. There's no evidence that even a single person changed their ways due to christians trying to legislate their religious views, but political activism has turned millions of people off from christianity. Isn't the job of christians supposed to be preaching the gospel and letting people voluntarily chose whether they want to accept it a lot, not trying to force people into a straightjacket by legislating their lifestyle. Change is only meaningful when it comes from the heart as a result of faith anyway. Activism only makes the other side more militant.
