What if Godzilla rose up out of the sea and stompped all our government buildings flat?
Seriously, I'm not that worried...why do you let a sexist, racist, sadistic Old School God do your moral thinking for you anyway?
(If your question was sarcasm, then, good point.)

Assuming you are a Christian:
What is the first and greatest commandment? By your reasoning and by supporting the freedom of religion in the US, you have already called down fire and brimstone upon yourself! OR do you not support the freedom of religion. . .
In the US, we have a right to participate (or not) in whatever religious tradition we choose. This freedom of religion means allowing others to have their own moral code; people might have their store open for business on Sunday, or attend a mosque for worship, or drink/smoke/gamble, or write books/make movies about offensive topics, or have sexual relations outside a committed relationship, or even form a household with someone of the same-sex.
Laws should forbid things that are intrinsically, verifiably, and significantly harmful to people and/or society. Same-sex marriage, IMO, doesn't fit those criteria. Therefore, a law against it would be based primarily on religious opinion. BTW, giving rights to only traditional marriages has a similar results as outlawing same-sex marriage.
Either you believe in the Freedom of Religion and therefore legally allow people to hold and practice either Christian or non-Christian values AND ALSO not legally endorse one value system over another OR YOU DON’T.

Well, that's the thing about a slippery slope. At some point, you don't have to take any more steps, you'll just slide down regardless.

you are very narrow-minded. not every one thinks and belives like you. there is nothing wrong with wanting to get married to the one that you are in love with. there is no god that is not going to get mad and punish all of us. sounds kindof hateful. wake up and look at reality. your religion is just something you believe in to help you through life. so how can a god that does not exist to someone get mad and punish them?

God is accepting and benevolent. Jesus as The Son of God, showed his love for all, even the lowest of society. I've said this once tonight and I'll say it again.......Judge not lest ye be judged.
If God should be angry about anything, it would be the innocent people we are killing in Iraq, the innocent children being lost in Darfur that we are ignoring........I could go on and on and on........

So God would turn a blind eye to the day to day genocide committed by man but then bring his wrath upon us for allowing people to love one another and raise a family?

How can two people being in love be wrong? Doesn't God say he's the one who judges people. Not you? And what makes you think that you have the right to dictate other peoples lives? Are you saying that if you "let" other people life there lives the way they want to that you might go to hell? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?

I hope that the next step on that slippery slope is that we stop judging others because of who they love and let them live their lives like anyone else.

What if god is getting mad because we are not allowing it?
After all he made them gay in the first place. Why would he do that and not want them to get married?

Next thing you know, we'll have goats and kittens and puppies signing consent forms and being married to their owners...
