Your Atheist Muse has a simple question for any Christian opposing gay marriage because it goes against what their God wants for us:
I’m an Atheist, my husband is an Atheist, and we decided not to have children. Therefore, by your definition of marriage, should we have been allowed to marry?
I’d love to hear the answer…
…
You know, we used to hear Christians make the argument that it was an “elite” group of people who overturned gay marriage bans. First it was the judges (“the judicial activists”), then it was the legislators… What are the Christian figureheads going to say when voters in a state make gay marriage legal?
I hope the videos of these people get played back over and over in the future. Just as a reminder of how bigoted these people were while everyone else was in support of marriage equality. And anyone who belonged to their churches should have to defend the bigotry long after they change their ways. If you’re not speaking out against what your own pastors say, you’re part of the problem.
