This is the problem:

"The wall needs to be torn down otherwise the madness will only get worse. Religious people will become more fanatical as they are suffocated in a stagnant air-space. Areligious will become bigger bigots because they also fail to understand those on the other side."

religious aren't being suffocated. It's an illusion, it's propoganda. Religious membership is INCREASING. It is not stagnant. And we aren't bigots. We just want to be left alone!! For God sake, why can't you understand that.
You think that you are the understanding ones, but you're not. You judge when you're expressly forbidden from doing so, you punish when you are expressly forbidden from doing so, you insult and treat those you call sinners with disgust. Then, you interfere with science. Picketing against stem cells even though no death comes from it....simply because "WE SHOULDN'T HAVE THE POWER OF GOD". It's unbelieveable the shit the religious do. Leave us the fuck alone.
As religious, you're supposed to be the ones letting others alone...no, you are supposed to EMBRACE the sinners...but it's the opposite, innit?

Why did nobody respond to my post?

This is the God-honest truth of the entire debate. We want to do OUR thing, but the religious can't help but interfere with our lives. Homosexuals want to get married. It's NOT about the institution of marriage or the sacrament. It's about having the same benefits. The argument against? They can't have kids. Most gays ADOPT! Guess whose kids they adopt! LOL

:D I'm just being a little fiesty, I do want a serious answer.

Why can't the religious leave us alone?

Serious question, serious answer please.
