Moral Debate 2

Also the stigma it puts on that gay that wants to marry since his religion won't tolerate which means his/her family won't accept him either.

What if I said that gays were insidious villains trying to recruit young boys into their homosexual agenda?

I would believe you as you have insider information

I think generally people who aren't particularly religious or who are but are also gay will be for it while the more religiously inclined will be against it.

Basically unless you have a vested interest in the matter then there's not much to oppose.

Eh, I kind of resent how people instantly assume people who are religious are closed-minded. I'm Catholic, but I don't have any problem with gay marriage. I hate when people started bashing religious people and assume they are all idiots (not saying you are, your post just reminded me of a trend that I have noticed on the internet in general).

In fact it could be argued that religious people are more open minded than atheists since they are open to the possibility of a higher power and take it simply on faith.

ok here I have to stand up for my own people. In my experience, the ratio of "religious person who is tolerant and accepting" to "asshole masking their personal prejudices under religion" is pretty damn tiny. I'm not saying that religion is bad, not in the least. Many religious people I know are nice. But there are too many people who use it as an excuse, and deny any fundamental precepts to it. Personally, I try to stay openminded to anything thats new to me, and I think a lot of people do that just on their nature, not based off of religion
