Biblical marriage is between the couple and God--only: with state legal repercussions. God is not the state. Gay marriage has to do with the state--only: with legal repercussions--not God! The two are exclusive to each other!
At least once a week, even here in NZ, I have someone knock on my door, try to approach me in the street, drop stuff in my mailbox (don't they know what "addressed mail only" means?), or shout at myself as part of a crowd about their deity.
I've even had someone start telling a whole crowd on the teain once about his god, until I shut him up.
I keep getting asked why I hate god? I can't hate what I don't believe in, though I can hate the antics of his followers.
I also get sick of the religious conservatives who think they can tell the rest of us how to live. Even in easy going Aus, the conservatives whined when gay marriage was passed.
"It undermines biblical marriage!" Which biblical marriage is that? The man and his slave? The man and his brother's widow? The man, his wife, and his concubines?
Each to their own, but I will fight tooth and nail if you use your religion to harm others, to deny rights to others, or try to push it on us through any medium.

Yet, I'm sorry, and do apologize sincerely, if YOU thought I was preaching or, if I was preaching. No one should be preached at. I hate it too. You asked me some questions with teeth. I answering them best I could. You played the Strawman by putting words in my mouth. I think I responded appropriately.
Keep your childish god and your magic jew the fuck away from my life if you don't want it damaged. I will not need to say that again.
I don't care how hard you bite. I have no self-esteem; I'm a clown and do laugh at myself, I can take it. Also, even if I'm bullied, I'm not here to cause harm but, nor am I here to be useless without a voice.
