RE: "Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

All I'd like them to do is take ownership of the fact that they want homosexuals to have less rights under the law. It's then a matter of a difference of opinion. But they won't do that; Steve even tries to pretend it's not a legal matter. If it wasn't, then no one would care what religious people had to say. No one is trying to change what a "marriage in god's eyes" is, as if we could ever do that anyway. He can't make his mind up which one is he is talking about.
Even if the argument is, "We should do what God wants", my objections are:
1) We have know way of knowing what God wants.
2) Why should we do what he wants? If it's because of wisdom, the idea should be defensible. If it's just because of threats, then I don't know why Christians are so bothered about what will happen to "the gays", since they already think any non-Christians are headed for a bad judgement.
