1.) nope thats just the opinion of some, many Christians are ok with SSM, churches too
2.) they want a religious wedding
3.) your uneasiness is meaningless to somebody else wedding, would you care if your wedding made your neighbor uneasy?

The only reason I would feel uneasy was if my neighbors knew my wedding was a sham..

Perhaps, but a large number of religions would be outraged by quite a lot of legal and accepted freedoms we take for granted. If we were to ban each of those freedoms for fear of offending a religion, I think it's safe to say we wouldn't have any freedoms left. So again, that's why we make policies that are based on factors other than whether or not they offend religion.

There are Christians out there that would think your marriage is a sham since you are not a Christian. I's bet most of those types of Christians feel the same way about gay marriage.

My understanding is that the same part of the bible (Leviticus) which is often quoted when condemning homosexuality is
a)also the same section that condemns a large number of practices that is widely considered obsolete today and
b)was overturned by Jesus in the new testament anyway.

It is also in the new testament..

Saint Paul also explains that practicing homosexuals “will not inherit the kingdom of God”:

Could it because they are not gay..and your offending policy to marry two men..in the eyes of god may be a tad too far??

It existed in civilizations before advent of Christ, marriage is older than Christianity . Nothing about religious marriage changes, you can still get religiously married, all legalizing gay marriage does is allow gays to get legally married not religiously married but if a church is willing to do it they can.

Tell me of one pre-christian marriage that didn't have one man and one woman. To say nothing about religious marriage changes with gay marriage tells me you aren't aware of the tenants of religious marriage or you don't care if they are broken.

maybe it could be but that proves my point for why its illogical, nobody cares if equal rights offends them and they have no reason to be offended by equal rights.

their religion and religious marriage is still 100% protected by law
as far as the eyes of god, that also has ZERO to do with them since they are not to judge but god is

like i said they have no logical reason to be
 
And the gov't has stepped in to attempt to redefine the meaning of marriage. First amendment violation.

Huh, never heard of that before. Well, even if true it doesn't change the point that policy is not formed on religious doctrine.

Ok..so why do gays want to be married in a church..??
 
Observer92, I read a portion of that Wiki article. Gotta say, if you're basing your facts on Wiki articles that are notorious for being changed, and not edited for correctness.. You need to seek a more authoritative article. Anyway, were is the part about same sex marriages in 'ancient' times?

I already said that this is between them and their church. That is not the purview of the government.

The government can no more force you to agree with gay marriage (or even recognize its legitimacy) any more than it can force you to agree that tuna fish sandwiches are delicious.
