If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

Do you know how many ancient societies allowed pedophilia by modern standards? A lot more than those that didn't, not that that's to say it makes it morally right, but to say they weren't exactly low on the morality spectrum. Anyway, this is irrelevant to my point, which is that the acceptence and documentation of homosexuality is not an exclusively modern phenomenon in the western world. My point has nothing to do with rights and wrongs.

Well then, we should be glad Christianity ended stuff like that in the Western World :)

I'm not one for oppression and persecution of innocent people, but you can be glad at whatever you want mate.

Im glad it brought end to slavery, pedophilia, animal/human sacriface, homosexuality among leaders and generals, paganism and idoltary.  Altho, I admit it brough quite the few problems as well, mostly coming from the corrupted leaders

Wait, what? It brought no end to slavery, look at the US and in europe it was not called slavery, but serfdom ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom ) is practically the same. It brought no end to pedophilia, marriages of children weren't unuasual in europe under christianity. Paganism and idoltary were only brought to an end, because christianity crushed all other religions and is itself monotheistic. So no, you're wrong. Christianity has a special hate against homosexuality that is unnatural (the hate).

I'm thankful that the humanism slowly but steady brings the wrongness of christianity to an end.
