It's completely fair that people who do not subscribe to Christianity would look negatively upon those who do and who are trying to force their belief systems on everybody else.
And it's arbitrary, anyway. How many passages from the Bible are nonchalantly dismissed by contemporary Christians because they're barbaric or otherwise incompatible with modern society and Christianity? If you have to pick and choose your beliefs anyway, why should any respect be owed to those who choose to believe that gays have no right to marry?
- spaghettiandm 5y agoI agree with you that it's a sensitive topic from both sides, but people should focus their negativity on the belief and not the person holding it. About the Bible, it's actually not as arbitrary as you might believe, because almost all examples of Biblical passages that are dismissed (like circumsision and not wearing some wools or whatnot) are in the Old Testament and are explicitly not required to follow in the new Covenant with Christ. Marriage is however repeated multiple times in the New Testament as well.

The person holding it, and voting accordingly, is responsible for denying other people happiness; responsible for saying, "You are different so you don't get what I have". I've no problem with someone holding a belief, I have a problem with people who can't just let others do what they want. Think that it's wrong and they'll go to hell? Then let them get married and go to hell. It's their choice, not yours. Mind your business.
