As tough as this may be to accept, not everyone believes in God. The whole "marriage is a religious ceremony" is a bullshit excuse that is getting really fucking tiresome.[/b]

I have as much right to my opinion and what I want my kids exposed to as the gay couple does, and my family and I don't believe they can form a family in the traditional sense that we believe in.[/b]
Seriously, why do you care so much about what other families, gay or straight, are up to in their private lives? (I'm just wondering.) Because, it's really none of anyone else's business. As long as they're raising the kids in a loving home, what's the difference if they're gay or straight? The kids aren't going to "catch it".

Also, could you elaborate on why you don't think gay marriage is the same...aside from the obvious that it's between partners of the same sex?[/b]
You are kidding , right? You cannot throw out the same sex issue, otherwise there is no issue. My family and I don't believe that a man and a man can be the same as a man and a woman. period. That is what our belief system is, and that is what we would vote on.

I'm sorry I don't agree with you, but I won't be bullied into changing the belief system that I have held all my life, regardless of how many times you all on the left act all angry and call me and people who share my views names. Personally, I'm a little tired of the whole if it feels good, do it attitude. I feel that is what is getting this country into trouble, and I'm glad to see a trend in the other direction.
