It shouldn't be on the ballot, certainly not in the US where the constitution specifically prohibits laws which limit the rights of minorities.
Asking for a popular vote to decide the meaning of a word is ridiculous, and it isn't really what proposition 8 was about. That was just a pitiful legal fiction to exclude a minority from a civil right.

Why not? It isn't your responsibility to police the morals of others, so regardless of whether or not you agree with or accept gay marriage, what right do you have to prevent it from happening?
I'd like to see a quote from the bible as to why you can't vote for equal rights

There is considerable debate among Christians as to whether the Bible actually says homosexuality is wrong or not. I believe the verses used to condemn homosexuality have been taken out of context. For this reason, many Christians can, and do, condone same sex marriage.

It does make the point that if the subject is "sin", the discussion will inevitably turn to homosexuality (though we did give gluttons a run for their money for a couple of pages!). As a Christian myself I find it troubling that so many followers can be so obsessed over one perceived sin (emphasis on "preceived"), while turning a blind eye to some very well established sins. Dishonesty has become commonplace in our society, via politics, our legal system, media, and advertising. Nobody cares. People literally eat themselves to death. Nobody cares. And don't even get me started on greed and avarice.Typical day at RF.

Leviticus Leviticus 18:22 should settle it with Jews and Christians
"Thou shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."
But they still seem divided. It's their own morality conflicting with 'God's morality.' They can't truly believe what the bible says. Such conflict would surely peak their interest and fascination. That's why it is so discussed

And see, this is where context matters. Can you tell me to whom this command was made (Lev 18:22), and why? Also, have you read Leviticus in its entirety? Why are Christians so quick to point to this one verse, while dismissing out of hand everything else written in this book?

We still have the right to try and stop such a degrading thing as "homosexual marriage". Just like the government has the right to stop the traffic of illegal street drugs.i got new for ya, the pledge doesn't say... liberty and justice for the majority....

The problem is that you have to present a legitimate legal argument against same sex marriage.
The reason the Federal government has avoided the same sex marriage issue like the plague is because they know that when it reaches them they will have no legitimate legal reason to enforce any bans on same sex marriage and every reason to over turn every ban in the USA of same sex marriage.

What does the pledge of allegience have to do with religion?
I think followers of a religion based on the Bible should do what the Bible says.
I don't give an ants' arse about Biff and Barry and their hurt feelings.
Really. I don't.

You should be more interested in the facts of the group you are putting down than what some book written by superstitious goat herders thousands of years ago says.

and then Christians wonder why most of mainstream society hates them.
