By all means, make some arguments as to why gay marriage will harm society. Show why the world would be a better place if gays were not allowed to marry.

If it isn't, why shouldn't those people who believe in a God, use every means (within the law) to defeat the notion of changing the definition of what marriage is?

Marriage is man made institution. Since I've never met God, I can't be sure what He/She/It thinks about gay marriage. I hope God doesn't worry too much about man-made laws. What would God think about jaywalking?

I hope for an inclusive God. A God that knows our hearts and wants us to be happy. I hope God is more concerned about our happiness than arbitrary rules. It saddens me to think that people are so insecure in their beliefs that they have to try to legislate them.

Because gays have an "agenda". Agendas harm society. Of course, we don't know what the agenda is. But they have one dammit!

Should we try to legislate against drinking alcohol?

Should we try to outlaw adultery?

Should we outlaw single people from adopting? (the Proclamation on the Family says that "Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity")

We could just save time and adopt Leviticus and Exodus as legal code.

I thought they already did that in the Bible Belt.
