Simply put, there's no grey on this issue. My train-of-thought is just that.
What's wrong with Gay Marriage?

Yeah, man. I wouldn't say solely because of these threads, but I definitely saw arguments on here that I never came across outside of my little Catholic bubble growing up. When these threads would come up, I would argue against all the NT atheists, but I always had so many questions. I never found sufficient answers from my peers or even priests that I asked. I went through some rough times, and realized that no amount of prayer would help me. I had to pick myself up by my own bootstraps and never looked back from there.
I would consider myself an agnostic because I really just don't know. Ever had one of those moments where you're like, "Man, that CAN'T have been a coincidence?" What I do know is that organized religions are full of crap, and I despise the fact that politicians, public figures and influential people use religion as a form of brainwashing. "Give tithes or you won't get into heaven!"
These days I'm much more into being awed by the beauty of nature and interested by the people living on earth. If I live a good, fulfilling life and I don't get into heaven, heaven isn't a place that I'm interested in going.

During slavery, the idea of white Jesus and his daddy in the sky was being programmed into the minds of Africans so they'd believe they'd be saved one day, or after all the torment they'd be free up in heaven. And you subscribe to these fables of the captors of our ancestors.
These threadsto be on topic, I say abolish marriage. Civil unions for all so people will shut the $$@$ up and we can maybe enjoy some equality in at least one facet of life.
...I guess white Jesus is why Jews were enslaved in Egypt huh?
And who actually believes in a white Jesus?
I agree on one thing though, these threads always get derailed - I gave my opinion of gay marriage in my first reply, but I knew what this thread would turn into...
I feel like you don't know what argumentum ad ignorantiam means. I said it because you said prove your God doesn't exist. Which is a perfect example.
I was talking solely about slavery in America... which I assumed you were taking about since you brought up the crack epidemic. What do Jews in Egypt have to do with anything?
How often do you see Jesus depicted as anything but a man with European features? I rarely see him look the way he should based on where he was supposed to be born.
I respect your opinion on the topic at hand as I do anyone elses. Humans can't agree on everything. This is just one of those things I feel others shouldn't have a say in. Homosexual or not, they're human beings first and should have the same rights as anyone else.

By your logic a sterile man or an infertile woman shouldn't be allowed to marry anyone.

Nothing is wrong with it. Marriage is a right everyone should have, without backlash.

It's a sin...when God created man, he didn't give him another man, he gave him a woman.
As a father, I don't want my children being confused by what this world has decided to deem right all of a sudden. I can teach them the natural order, but there will surely be questions when they see two males getting it in for all the world to see.
For those of you that say it's just an old fairytale book, do you think murder should be legalized? How about stealing? You may not have any religious belief, but surely you can see the male and female bodies were created for one another.
I think it's sick that gay couples have more rights than heterosexuals in some states. How is that my fiancee can't have access to any of my medical coverage but those in a civil union can?
Hopefully I already missed it, but if I didn't, don't compare this to racism. It's not the same.
Because words don't always convey the correct message....I don't hate gay people. I don't hate anyone. I just have my beliefs and try to stay true to them.

Fair enough, but your 'beliefs' are rubbish. So you don't want homosexual marriages because it may cause you have to do your job; parent? For %+#%'s sake! 'Let's deny people rights because I am a bit uncomfy with answering questions my kids may hypothetically ask!'
