Modern pop culture tells us that “God is dead” and doesn’t matter anymore. Isolate yourself from these people and ignore them, but when you get the chance; prove how your faith has works.

‘Even most Catholics support it’

Yes, I agree. And most Catholics support contraceptive use and all sorts of practices that are gravely sinful.

This point always launches you guys off course. The point isn’t that the majority decides what sin is. The majority decides what advertisers do.

Specifically referring to the “dog marriage” argument, the difference is consent. A dog can’t consent.

How do you know this?
If we are going to be questioning principles that man has kept for thousands of years, we may as well visit them all…prove to me a dog cannot provide consent.

They do now. Because Americans like equal rights.

That is not an equal right.
It is an exclusive right.

The difference here is there was no right at all denied anyone. Instead we have a new right made up specifically for a minority group.

So requiring that gay people must marry someone of the opposite sex is not an “exclusive right”,
But allowing anyone to marry someone regardless of their sex is somehow an “exclusive right”.
Amazing.

Or are you saying that American advertisers make their decisions on how to advertise based on the opinion of Catholics in Africa?

I am saying you are making statements attempting to prop up a bad argument that are untrue. I am asking for you to back it up, and thus far you have not.

Allow me to remind you of the statement:

Even most catholics think gay marriage should be legal.

If you do not say what you mean, how can I be expected to know what you mean?

I belong to the Catholic church. The church is world wide, and any statement concerning ‘most catholics’ should be prepared with some statistic that is inclusive to that.

Considering that the laws in this country also play into our foreign policy, and has an affect across the globe, I believe it perfectly reasonable to consider the globe when someone fails to qualify their statement.
 
Marrying the dog-

Ridiculous? Yes.

Idiotic? Only if it is idiotic to think that the Court can change the definition of such a thing as marriage, to suit the relativistic (non)beliefs of the secular society.
 
Ok, so since we aren’t talking about American foreign policy, but rather corporate advertising policy, the question remains unanswered:

Should American companies restrict what they advertise based on the religious opinions of a minority of Americans? If so, how do they choose which religious minorities should dictate what they are allowed to show?
 
I’d change ‘religious’ to ‘believe in God but pick and choose which teachings of their religion they adhere to.’

Kind of leads to another interesting aspect here.
Can someone that does not at all believe the teachings of their religion really be considered a part of that religion.
 
Serious question, are Catholics commanded to politically oppose same sex marriage?
