Its sort of funny that some people live in this country fully believing in freedom of belief and speech and other things like that, and then right when there is a conflicting belief emanating from someone else, it is no longer "ok" anymore.
The "I believe that marriage is a sacrament that has its roots in God's teachings, and therefore believe that gay marriage is wrong" argument in that sense is hilarious. You know that these people at the same time would stick up for their own right to the religion that they adhere to.
But at the same time fight for the suppression of other peoples beliefs. Like gay marriage.
Religious people have a right to believe what they want. No law should be able to take that away from them or stop them from performing sacraments like marriage in the church. The same thing applies to people who believe in or wish to have a gay marriage.
Edit: I should clarify here...I was not really aiming this at anyone in particular, nor labelling all religious people as fanatics who aim for the abolishment of anything not inside of their beliefs.
