Gay marriage

Even though multiple lawsuits are being held about churches not allowing gay weddings, the SCOTUS ruling says nothing about this. Churches are not public accommodations or businesses, so they can deny any wedding they want. Do I disagree with that? Yes, just like I disagree with sexist and racist churches, but I do recognize that I have no power to make them treat people equally. Now, public businesses do not have this right, because that causes discrimination and segregation, which is defined as "the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart." So before you dish out insults, or overuse the word "ignorant," I suggest you do some research, other than the Bible. You have a right to have your opinion and to keep your opinion, but it is not your right to treat people differently based on your zealot beliefs. Let's delve deeper into your exaggerated hypothetical situation. You say people get married, have kids, and the cycle continues. If we allow gay people to marry, they will adopt children and will raise them to a possibility of them being gay. And gayness will spread across the nation, and the population will just die off due to everybody being gay. Now, not everyone follows the cycle you describe. There are barren people who get married. We currently have 7.325 billion on the planet, with 318.9 million of those people living in the United States. Approximately 10959 babies are born every day in the United States, and those gay people won't ever have children. I don't see why the idea of two people getting married bothers you so much. What makes you so upset about people not "contributing to society through childbirth?" Having the choice to have a children is a right, and I respect that right of people. You admit not every gay couple raises gay children, but you say you don't want to treat gay children the same. Well here's an idea that you refuse to accept: Homosexuality is not a choice. Straight people having a child have a possibility of raising a gay child. It's called nature. There have been over 1500 species that show gay behavior, including our own kind. We need to accept it. If Jesus wiped out all the sins (except blasphemy, Mark 3:29) why is homosexuality still effective? There's nothing in the New Testament that explicitly states that God disagrees with homosexuality. He does set more rules on marriages, but there is nothing against gays. I suggest you look at your own doctrine before you judge others for their choices. You claim that you are not free due to the homosexuals being allowed to marry. Well guess what? If you deny homosexual marriage, you are denying them rights. You are discriminating against people who do not have a choice over how they choose their romantic partners. You are free. You are not disobeying your God's word, and your doctrine says (In the New Testament) that you shouldn't judge others and treat them differently. You are supposed to pray and bless them, but zealots deny that part, I guess. I say it is evolution because we are slowly accepting a portion of our population. We should treat everybody equally, not judging them by race, sexuality, and other factors they have no control over. You have a right to be a sexist, a racist, a homophobe, but it's when you take away other's rights, or kill them, or discriminate, that we need to push for equality. This is a country of freedom, where pastors don't have to perform a gay marriage, but gays can get married. This is a place where people like you can express your opinion, but you can't treat other's like garbage because some of your Old Testament highlights. Jewish people might have created marriage, but throughout history, the definition has changed. This is not a Christian nation. Marriage is no longer about religion. The reason why people go to churches to get married is because it's a tradition, and churches tend to make marriages beautiful and flamboyant. Not all churches deny gay marriages. They accept them into their practices, because they recognize that Jesus wiped all the sins. They are the true Christians, praying and blessing the people who go against God's word, and thanking Jesus for making us all equal. We need more Christians like that.
