Quote:

There are 18,000 married gay and lesbian couples in California and at least 131,000 nationwide according to the 2010 census, conducted before New York state legalized same-sex marriage in July.

Rick Santorum says he'll try to unmarry all of them if he's elected president.

And people wonder why Atheists are so vocal against religion..

It's people like this bag of vomit that is the most apt example of why religion is wrong.

The problem isn't religion. The problem is that people think their opinions matter and that it's okay to impose on others. Just because you think something is right or best doesn't mean you have the right to force your ideas on me.

You're exactly the same with your socialism crap. I don't see any difference between Santorum telling people who they can marry and you telling people they have to participate in government run healthcare.

I think most liberals have the inverse view of healthcare - not that everyone should be forced to participate, but that everyone should have the opportunity to be able to do so.

And I agree that the problem isn't specifically religion, it's in how people apply their opinions in their view of others that causes problems. Unfortunately, this (from my experience) has tended to stem from the most vigorously religious people, because they're told to 'spread the word' and 'save the souls' of everyone else - i.e. convert everyone they know to their religion. Unfortunately, most people tend to take that as 'OU MUST SEE AS I SEE, BELIEVE AS I BELIEVE' above all else.

It's amazing that someone like him can get this far into a Presidential race. It speaks volumes by a good % of our country who actually support and vote for this guy in primaries

I am thinking he carries a lot of the "old vote"

I think that people should get more rights over time not less. It hurt nobody allowing gays to marry, nobody

Exactly.

I work with a few extremely conservative people. One of them is a woman who believes gays shouldn't be allowed to marry because it's in the Bible that sodomy is instant hell-bound status.

I keep quiet, wondering to myself why it bothers anyone that someone else marries someone of the same sex. You can't police everyone's actions to make sure they don't go to hell...besides, I was under the impression that sort of defeated the purpose of hell etc. in the first place.

Even if the Bible says that where does it say you need to make a societical law against that?

THere is a separation of church and state for a reason. Santorum is against this even if its in teh constitutions lol
