Ok, so we see a lot of Christians who don't want gay marriage, because they say its against God's Will.
Are there any Atheists who want to ban Gay Marriage? If so, I'm curious your reason.
I personally am an Atheist who honestly, just doesn't care if my neighbors Adam and Steve got a Marriage Liscense, and quite honestly, as long as Adam and Steve aren't making a lot of noise what they do is none of my business.

I know someone with no religious affiliation who doesn't think we should change the law to include same sex marriages.
He has no issues with homosexuality, he's just very conservative and not too smart, so he buys into all the garbage about how changing the law will open the door for man/beast marriage and polygamy and other stuff. Like I said, he's not too bright.
He has also said that it would violate the sanctity of his own marriage; if the law he was married under was to be changed.
I thought you should have an example of oppostion that isn't based on religion or homophobia.

There is no such thing by definition. Marriage is a relation between a man and a woman, the starting point of a family. Adam and Steve, no matter what they do, are not set up to procreate between the two of them. It really is that simple.

I think that gay marriage is OK in theory but that leaves the door open to when someone wants to marry an animal or a house or blah blah blah... I do not want to hear on the news that some group wants that IMO it is gross.... They DO deserve the same rights as married couples legally. I am in the middle on this one. It is good for them if they get it. I am just worried about how the nutcases will handle it if gay marrige does happen.

I am not quite an Atheist but by most religons I would be considered one. I dont care if they get married. Gods way of marriage wouldnt include divorce or cheating either so the traditional marriage no longer exsists!

I am against gay marriage, not because of any animosity toward relationships of that kind, but simply for the sake of cleanliness of the nomenclature. I have no objection to civil unions, which would basically impart to homosexual couples the same rights and responsibilities as in heterosexual marriage.

figure out where the institution of marraige came from
it's definitely not about the inequality of souls
it's about a joint contract, a union of equals, a mutual agreement to respect each other
what's so horrible about a civil union compared to the forced marraiges of tradition?
I think marraige needs to be clarified by the two people wanting it, and approved only by them...not by a priest, a judge, a god, etc
they just ask others to attend an important ceremony of two becoming known as one unit or entity
I have athiest tendencies and don't consider 'gay' marraige to be wrong or ungodly....loving each other and respecting each other is what god wants....right?

You know where I stand on the whole god/no thing...
As far as gay marriage, why not. These days the divorce rate is over 50% so why prevent the one group who wants to get married from doing so..

The problem is when homosexuals try to get our children to accept their agenda.
I don't care if they get married. But that doesn't make it right. It still is a sexual sin against God's purpose for them. God will not bless their wedding vows or their marriage. God is the same yesterday, today or tomorrow.
Also we reap what we sow. God will not be mocked.
So, also if homosexuals are born that way, so are all the people with sexual iniquities. According to the bible, iniquities are passed on to those who hate God. Exodus 20, Romans 1.

As a Buddhist-Pagan (agnostic) I voted for gay marriage when it was on the ballot. Any marriage is good because it keeps people off the streets and out of trouble. Theoretically.

i'm against it i'm against all marriage, gay or at recent. I evaluate it an previous enterprise that truly is out of date in modern-day society. And as for gay marriage, my particularly unconventional view is: ok, so which you prefer to get married. Why? Why do you prefer to comply with what at recent human beings do, or get to do? I mean, are not 'we' meant to be diverse from 'them'? popularity is wonderful, tolerance is wonderful, finishing the violence is wonderful. showing people who being gay is okay is wonderful. Mainstreaming being gay, nonetheless, isn't the respond. I mean, there is in simple terms not something vivid or distinctive approximately being gay in any respect! it is going to finally end up as only one great homogenized lifestyle. Whoop-dee-f**kinfolk'-doo. i'm taken with bobbing up with some thank you to make bigger the tax/criminal reward that married at recent couples relish to gays, yet enable's do it in a fashion that would not in straightforward terms parrot the practices of the hordes of at recent human beings accessible. Love is love. no count if gay or at recent, i don't think of you prefer slightly paper from an out of date religious-based social enterprise for occasion that.
