Christians are not scared of gay marriage. There is no such thing. Marriage has always been known by definition as the sacred union between man and woman ( Husband and Wife ).
Christians take a stance against gay marriage because their point of reference is the Bible. And the Bible condemns homosexual behavior , NOT HOMOSEXUALS AS PEOPLE. It is practicing homosexuality that is a sin according to the christians . Plus practicing heterosexual sex is wrong to outside of marriage.

So today marriage has been redefined. A rose is a rose is a rose. So my question is why can't I marry my pet dog then ? Or why can't a man be married to his brother, or pet goldfish ? Why limit marriage to 2 . Why not group
marriages ?You see if the there is no God to determine what's wrong or right, then man determines the rules. He becomes the reference point. Then on that basis in a world without God, why is it wrong for a man to marry his sister or dog etc ? Man at one time thought that slavery in the south was okay. Is slavery okay ? If not why ?

Your second question is why aren't christians doing something about the divorce rate. What do you want them to do ? All divorces aren't sinful. And christians aren't perfect, are you ? So if people lived according to God's rules - there wouldn't be divorce. If men would love their wives and put them first and vice versa, then it would be great. But we all christians or not have sinned ( done wrong).
If everyone practiced homosexuality- then mankind would be extinct -in a generation.

We are called to love everyone even our enemies. But we don't have to love what people do. There is a difference....Show more

Good point. Christians follow the bible, and have interpreted the bible as homosexuality is wrong, and marriage is between a woman and a man only. I honestly don't know how God feels about it, I cannot believe my God is anti-love, and I don't believe he judges people for being themselves.
Gay marriage will become legal one day, and everyone will have to accept it. Remember when you could not come out of the closet, and today it is more acceptable to be gay? Being gay will be just another accepted lifestyle choice one day....Show more

It isn't up to the christians to try and fix the divorce rate. The only thing they can do is keep it right within themselves. Also, a lot of christians don't believe in gay marraige, as the bible states that homosexuality is an abomination....Show more

Well here it is: Christians SHOULD love everybody. it is against the GODS WORD to engage in unnatural marrage (homosexuality). True faithful christians SHOULD (but often dont - Hey, were only human) look on with a face of sadness, not disgust, to the gay community. If YOU or some one you is gay, seek Guidence at your local Christian Church or the HOLY BIBLE...Show more
