This is not a religious issue. It is an issue of the natural moral law. No one wants to make all people attend a Catholic mass each Sunday. What we must do is defend the moral law which applies to all people whether they are Catholic or not.

Yet not everyone agrees on your natural law. Actually, in America, it is about half and half for and against gay marriage.

You would not be a hypocrite for upholding what is morally correct. What would be a grave mistake would be to participate in another’s sin by telling them them should act as they desire.

Morally correct IN YOUR OPINION. How would you feel if someone stood outside your church every sunday and told everyone going in that going to a Catholic mass was a sin. They would be doing the same exact thing you are doing by opposing gay marriage. Telling people what they are doing is a sin when they don’t believe it is.

OK, so you believe that gay marriage is wrong according to God. If someone else says gay marriage is fine by God, neither of you have sufficient evidence that their position is right. So really you can say your truth is right but someone else’s truth is has just as much evidence behind it (basically none).

Do you see what I am saying?

How are you defining evidence?

No, of course it isn’t my opinion that going to mass is a “sin.” I don’t care if people want to go to mass or not. I do care if going to mass causes them to look down on others due to their sexual orientation though.
 
interestedman said:
Yes. It is my opinion that if going to mass makes you look down on gay people or anyone in general it probably is doing more harm than good.

If it all is a matter of opinion then there is no objective truth to any of this discussion.
 
fix said:
All types of people agree that same sex marriage is wrong. So, we are back to numbers again?

And most of them are religious and will give you religious reasons as to why same sex marriage is wrong.

Thinking something is a sin is not the same thing as “looking down” on the people who commit it. The Church considers adultery a sin but it would be wrong to say Christians are taught to “look down” on adulterers, or fornicators, or liars or thieves. You know the old saying, “Love the sinner, hate the sin.”

I’m not Catholic but I actually do look down on adulterers a bit. In my opinion it is one of the worst things you can do.

You have already been shown there is a non-religious rational reason why there is no such thing as same-sex-marriage.

OK, if it is non religious and rational why are atheists extremely pro gay rights?
