Actually, Jesus might be happy about gay marriages. After all, we see the disciple that he loved leaning on his breast. (John 13:23) Now what was that all about?
Even when I was a Christian, it was these passages in Revelation that made god look like an idiot to me. He was doing all this stuff to hurt humans then he'd look down and scratch his head, "They haven't repented yet?" And he'd hurt them some more, expecting that to make them repent. Idiot.
In the ot a man was responsible for his own sin. It wasn't until the nt that we had to pay for Adam's sin as well.
Kinder god? I don't think so.
Let's look at Jesus. He tells us to turn the other cheek. That seems kinder than an eye for an eye. But wait a minute. I've only got two cheeks. He's telling me not only to endure but also to invite pain and let somebody slap my head off. How is that being kind to myself?

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
